    NEW NEW UPDATE OCTOBER 2023 - turns out this cart is now officially my worst purchase ever - another cartridge in poor condition sold for around ~$3000
    NEW UPDATE July 28, 2023: one finally auctioned on eBay! It sold for $5200. Some minor label wear to it. You should be easily able to find the listing if you want to check it out (until eBay removes it).
    Old Update: a copy of this sold on November 4, 2022, for $7200 on Heritage Auctions.
    I purchased this one back in May 2022 for $8000. That is a value loss of $800 minimum between sales, or -10%. (I say minimum because the seller isn't going to walk away with $7200, and no guarantee I would either).
    I enjoy transparency on these kinds of things.

      Granted, I also bought two copies of a nearly complete Atari 2600 game so I could keep the "complete" version I cobbled together out of it and sell the rest to recoup some of my cost.
      I ended up paying $600 (roughly) for both auctions and sold the remainder of the items for just about $300 and I walked away with my "complete'" version.

      It's especially stupid cause he bought it based off an auction house's pricing who's *known to collude with their grader to get higher scores for their listings* and *has been caught selling games at inflated prices to executives to manipulate the market* and make it appear there is a lot of money in game auctions.
