An eBay user, who is either the most delusional person on the internet or an utter genius, is selling his “prized-possession,” a used Nintendo Entertainment System with 42 games and accessories, for $35,000. The reason for the ridiculously exuberant price: He really needs the money. He even has the bills and the credit report to prove it. Here’s an excerpt from his listing:
“I am down on my luck need to pay bills living pay check to pay check. this is my price possession the only thing I can say I own 100%. to some a nes system could mean nothing but to me its priceless. I hate to part with it but i need the money. You might say what a ridiculous price but thats how hard it is for me to part with it. I have 100% feedback. whoever buys it can verify that I really need the money. I can show you my bills and credit report to verify it and I will give proof that the bills got paid. I would like to personally hand over the nes bundle system over to the winner and personally thank him/her if possible. God bless.”
At least the shipping is free…
I don’t really want to get into how wrong I think this guy’s approach to problem solving is. I just wanted to show you that people like this really exist. In all seriousness, if someone buys this thing (and I have a horrible feeling that someone will), I have a used Super Nintendo and a working Earthbound cartridge that will be really hard for me to part with for any less than $50,000.
