That guy's also a semi-popular 'old game reviewer' on Youtube.

What strikes me as even more odd is that relatively poor condition examples are going for so much.

Reminds me of some of the ultra-rare 2600 carts like Birthday Mania.
Maybe if I had billions of dollars of expendable income (as if I would know what expendable income is), I could give casual thought to possibly maybe placing a bid.

Imagine if the cart were pristine O_O

The seller will NEVER get anywhere near this kind of money for this, every major news outlet reports this with the headline "Nintendo game sells for $98,000" and then every moron with an nes and a copy of Mario bros/duck hunt thinks they're sitting on a pile of gold. Then I as a retro gamer/hobbiest collector has to deal with these people. Value is pretty hard to put a price tag on, just because I'm willing to pay $1,000 for my wedding pictures doesn't mean they're worth that much to someone else.

I'm not asking for a link, but I imagine that the rom of this has already been dumped, so unless you're a diehard collector, I don't really see the point of owning it, other than bragging rights

Yup, dumped and reproduced.
RetroZone used to sell reproductions with the dip switch.

Im interested to see what this one goes up to
