R.O.B. Display Unit Sells for $4K on eBay

Cool. If I had the money, I would have bought this myself.

"Will the winner dare open it, we wonder?"
-NO!

Awww, it's my old pal R.O.B. I still have it, but I admit I did not use it much.

That's nice. Poor R.O.B. Sealed in that cage.

Keep the R.O.B. sealed - you know what they do when they have freedom, just look at SSBB

How on Earth did all those objects stay fixed in the retail display unit? Are those games plastered down or something?

Another work of art contained to a cage. sigh

I also own the Gyromite/Robot Gyro cartridge. Apparently, it can actually be played without the R.O.B. It's easy to play with two controllers, one controller just to play the sleepwalking Hector game.

$4000? That actually seems quite cheap (for a collectible). This has been added to the list of things I must own before I die. It's awesome!

Yeah, I'm with Machu, seems pretty cheap to me. I mean, it's R.O.B.!

We have a R.O.B. in mint condition with the box and everything where I work for $500. It's really cool!

Ahh, R.O.B. My NES was one of the original sets with ROB, but sadly, my ROB was given away by my dad at some sort of educational convention (he had used it as a general visual aid when discussing robotics). I didn't mind at the time, but i wish i still had it now.

@StarBoy:
I used to play Gyromite without ROB all the time. One of my main methods was to put the controller into the shell piece with the red and blue levers, and use my feet to control it. Kinda nifty.

For some reason I actually think that buyer got a pretty good deal with this one.

I have Gyromite & R.O.B. but I'm missing the little spinner accessories so it's even more useless than if I had them. I found mine for a couple bucks at a thrift store. I also have 2 Power Gloves & a Power Pad. Oh and the U-Force. Wow the NES had more useless peripherals than any other.

Ahah, the powerglove was a true paradigm of uselessness. But it looked so cool! ^^

How's the Stack Up/Robot Stack cartridge? I never played it.

Sweet! I remember using R.O.B. with Gyromite back in the day. Find those spinners, JebbyDeringer!

I can't quite tell. Is this actually a functional console, or just a model?

I have a copy of Gyromite but no R.O.B., I don't even remember how I got Gyromite, lol. I definitely need to track down a R.O.B. though

some people have too much money on their hands

I wish I had a R.O.B., so I can play Gyromite and Stack-Up.

I wanna get an R.O.B. just for display

The Robotic Operating Buddy is one of my favorite characters from Super Smash Bros. Brawl.

Wow a grey Zapper in there too, those are also rare.
I have Gyromite with no R.O.B, I would be very tempted to break the glass/plastic just to see what the fuss was about.
Followed, I'd imagine by grave disappointment

Did you say: Zapper?
I have the Zapper, too. I use it to play Duck Hunt, Hogan's Alley, Wild Gunman, and Gumshoe.

I love Duck Hunt! It was my first NES game.

I've got the grey zapper. I've also got Duck Hunt, Hogan's Alley, and Bandai's Shooting Range. I've also got a Gyromite cart. I bought it on a whim thinking there was a chance it might have contained one of those rare Famicom converters inside the cart. Nope, just the usual sircuit board plus ROM. But I did finally find one when I bought Wrecking Crew.

If only I had the money
