In all fairness, they only made 116 of those cartridges (90 grey, 26 gold) in 1990 for the Nintendo World Championships. The grey ones were used during competitions, and the gold ones were given away as prizes. These things are the rarest of the rare. The cartridges featured DIP switches that allowed selection of game limits (e.g. 5 minutes of play, then a final score, etc).

Yes, US $99,902.00 in 328 bids is a expensive cartbridge. I see other cartbridge sell for 50000 aprox for test NES in the repair services, but this is good price if the buyer have the entire game catalog and don't have any more to collect xD

As i can remember previous one was sold for only $20000 and in much much better condition.
There is golden version from another seller right now on ebay, too scary to estimate final price =)

For that sort of price I would expect free delivery in person! A round the world airfare would be a very small percentage of the price.

Yeah, if I sold something for $100k, i'd deliver it in person. Something tells me USPS or UPS wouldn't insure it for that LOL
