@VHSGLITCH if that’s the way you think then yes I can see your comments. But you are wrong in my opinion. Because a Block of plastic does not have a website built around it that cases you to spend time commenting on it. I sold a yellow guitar. It was just some wood with some electronics and some paint. What do you think that was worth? It sold for more then this game! It was owned and used by Prince! But that was just wood! Don’t be a hater. Just watch and learn how a niche collector market evolves into a true collector market! Video games ARE an extremely undervalued art form! When a Banksy brings millions for a lithograph! This is a bargain! Trust me!
@Mayor_Haggar I don't care how much money people have. This is never considered a drop in the bucket. But, it does have to be put in perspective. There are people with some disposable income!
@The_Legged_One There is a good Chance that this does end up in a museum. But, it will first be shared with the Retro Gaming community at Video Game Conventions across the country.
@Alucard83 Again, You are assuming the money for this purchase is coming from a pile that was allocated for charity. That is not a good assumption. And imagine how much they could give if it sells for $1,000,000 which it will in the future!
@VHSGLITCH The Mona Lisa is just a canvas with paint on it, Action Comics #1 (Sold for $3.4 Million) is just a piece of paper with some print on it. If you think it is just plastic then you minimize the thousands of hours that the artists put in to make that game so you would have a little joy! It is a national treasure!
@Moroboshi876 There are rare coin and art collectors in every country that spend Millions on a single painting or coin. I do think this happens all over.
@Spudtendo You might be making a wrong assumption that the people that purchased it are using the money that would have went to charity. Usually people will not decide to buy and valuable collectible and not donate to charity because of it! Maybe they donated much more to charity!

@stevenw45 Purchase one of a kind video game or invest in Steven's photo career. Yea, I can see how that is a toss up on investment decisions!

@chardir Right on! Just a different type of wiget. Some people like Gold and others love video games enough to buy a historic piece like this!

@GravyThief Maybe the owner has another Opened Copy that he could play!
