Cliff notes: - Mom stores old video game system in closet- Mom decided to finally sell it and packages Major League Baseball, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Mario 3, Super Mario Bros/Duck Hunt and Family & Fitness Stadium Events in an Ebay auction- Auction goes for $13,105

Apparently Family & Fitness Stadium Events is a super rare game and collectors are willing to pay $2,000 for just the game, $1,500 for just the manual and $9,500 for the box.

The Ebay auction contained the game, the manual and the box all in mint condition.

Quote »However, shortly after release, Nintendo purchased the North American rights to the Family Fun Fitness series and decided to market the series themselves. As a result, Stadium Events was renamed and repackaged under the title World Class Track Meet, and all Family Fun Fitness mats and copies of Stadium Events were pulled from store shelves.[/quote]I think the rare version is Stadium Events and not "World Class Track Meet", I hope you have the Stadium Events title.

I am actually on the phone with her right now. I remember that we used to play that, and it had a pad you ran on and jumped on and s***. I know we dont have the box anymore cause we got one of those stupid traveling case things and threw away all the boxes. Oh well. 2 grand is still ok with me.

Prepare to be considerably more wealthy. You should probably hook grandma up for not throwing that s*** away.

[Murdered_T]

my grandma is retarded an she is shipping me ALL the games cause she doesn't feel like looking through them, so I will have an update in a week or so. I am so stoked right now.

[sentrastace]

[sentrastace]

+1

If it isn't the "Stadium Events" version, it isn't worth anything.

I think there are only a few hundred copies in the US. There are rarer retail games, but not many. It's very valuable.

Exactly, the game that was packaged with the NES was World Class Track Meet. It's the same game, but rebranded by Nintendo. Heck, I've got that game and the power pad at my mom's house. What makes this auction different, is it was the Family Fun Fitness version, before it was packaged with the console.

Edit: And after looking into it, I realized there are 3 versions of the game. Stadium Events is a different game, and like it was said, only that one is the one worth lots of money.

[CodeRed]

I seriously hope my Red Ring of Death 360 will be worth something in 20 years.

[Philipio]

The console will never be valuable. Certain games will be.

[4WOFURY]

my grandma is retarded

she is shipping me ALL the games

So quit your b****ing. She's taking the time to package some s*** for you. Be happy.

Like others said.... Are you sure you have the properly named version?

Man, shoulda tried to sell that game when everyone was going crazy right after his death.

I wonder if my Atari2600 is worth anything.

I wonder if my Atari2600 is worth anything.

depends on the system, certain ones are more rare than others. The "heavy six switcher" is one of the more obscure.

as far as the 2600 games, check out this site. The have a catalog on how rare the title is based upon label and such

[bobotech]

Generally, its not the consoles themselves that are worth a ton unless its something rare and desirable such as a Nintendo top loader or a Sega Nomad. Those systems are worth a lot because of how unique and rare they are compared to the standard Nintendont and Sega systems.

[tiger-SE-R]

quick randomness

I have both the standard NES and the top loader, the top loader doesnt have AV inputs like the older version. I was surprised the "updated" console didn't come with more than just a standard RF cable
