July 1st, 2009 | Auctions, MOTHER 1
About a week ago, a rare game collector put up a known EarthBound Zero prototype cart on eBay. These things go for a lot – this particular one sold for nearly $1500!
It was most likely a rare game/prototype collector who forked over all that money. I can’t see many EarthBound fans spending that much money on it for some reason. But if I’m wrong, that’d be cool 😛

If I had an infinite amount of money or got an allowance like Ness does, I wouldn’t mind having this, but when you get right down to it, the guy who won the thing is playing the same game we’re playing with the ROM, so I guess it’s all good.

Wow. I would definetly spend that much if I had that much, just to show how insane I am.

Wow… I’m satisfied with my mint-condition copy of the Japanese GB game “X” being the gem of my collection… for now anyway.

It’s a good thing there’s the ROM we can all play, otherwise I don’t think very many of us would be able to play this game.
For the record, I would never spend that much money on something like this, even if I loved the game to death (which I do 😀 ).

I wonder if the winner of the auction knows about Starmen.Net?

What does the theme of the site have to do with the auction?

Yeah man, this really cleaned me out, but I figure it will be worth a ton in a few years, I may even get a few thousand more for it!

The next time one of these goes on sale, I hope to have a good job, because if I do I WILL buy it – assuming Tomato has confirmed it as one of the known real copies. As it stands though, I’m two weeks shy of getting my degree… if only the seller had held out a little longer.
