I'd buy it as an investment. Sell it in 5-10 years for double the money.

Well I'm glad I saw this one, because I didn't see the other one. :| Anyway, I actually played this game. I'm sure it's not the exact cartridge, but I attended a Nintendo Powerfest back when it was at Denver in 1990. They set up about 20 stations, and we all had to get the best scores on those three games. and I t hink I came in like 8th or something. It is without a doubt a serious collectable, and I can see why it sold for so much.

yeah i understand the collector value,i believe there are only like 20 of those cartridges and that guy actually bought it several thousand dollars below the original price.but ive never been one to collect,so it has no value to me.

Hmm.. then that kinda adds up. If there's only about 20, and I remember there being about 20 stations, then there's a 1 out of 20 chance that cartridge was the one I played on. Damn... now my interest really piqued. If only I had the money... Ah well.

Uhhhh...I like games as much as the next guy, but I would have to pass on that...

Or if I was extremely rich, and had millions of dollars, then maybe...

I buy video games so that I can play them and $17,500 is not worth what essentially sounds like a demo cartridge.

People its an investment im sure. Even if he was to never sell, In about 50+ years thats going to be worth way way more than $17000. Our Kids Kids are going to be on gamespot talking about Who the hell could pay 100,000 grand for a game.

If I had that kind of money, sure. It's the rarest video game out there, so it would look pretty nice displayed in a glass case in my room.
