Man Finds Rare NES Game In Attic, Sells It For $9000
https://tinyurl.com/yyy95c5o

Reno man Scott Amos was going through some possessions from the attic of his
childhood home the other day when he came across something: an unopened copy
of Kid Icarus for the Nintendo Entertainment System, complete with receipt
from 1988.

As the Reno Gazette Journal reports, nobody from Amos’ family can exactly
remember why the game was up there, but it’s a fairly convincing theory that
it was bought as a Christmas present for Scott and then, for whatever reason,
forgotten about and never given (the receipt is from December 8, 1988).

“It was kind of funny — I saw it was sealed, and I thought it was worth a
couple hundred dollars,” Amos told the Journal. “I go to work the next day
and emailed a couple of experts. One of them wrote me back within 30 minutes
and said, ‘You have an Easter egg.’”

Once he’d spoken further with the experts, he knew he had something very
special on his hands. Heritage Auctions’ Valarie McLeckie said of the game “
To find a sealed copy ‘in the wild,’ so to speak, not to mention one in
such a nice condition and one with such transparent provenance, is both an
unusual and rather historic occurrence. We feel that the provenance will add
a significant premium for serious collectors.”

The copy sold over the weekend for $9000, and Amos already has some fun plans
on how to spend the unexpected windfall.

“I have an older sister, too. We’re splitting (the proceeds) 50-50. We’re
going to do a Disney World vacation next month”, he told the Journal. “
Instead of doing something responsible, we’re going to have some fun with it.
”

Scott Amos 在童年家中的閣樓發現了沒用過完好的任天堂卡帶 Kid Icarus，收據是寫著
1988年。

後來和家人討論應該小時候的聖誔節禮物，只是被大家給忘了就沒動過了。

他本來覺得這能賣個幾百美金吧！

結果拿去問了專家後，最後以九千美金被買走。

        在PTT混久了會得到很多稱號，像我就有：
           藍的、綠的、吱吱、蛆蛆、糞青、覺青、獨派、華腦、柯粉、網軍....
        最近我發現我又多了：
                              五毛、瘋seafood、洗文的、綠共
        可惜這些稱號都沒有屬性加成呢！
