Not too long ago we heard of an original NES that sold for tens of thousands of dollars on eBay because it came bundled with the title Stadium Events. Well, the game is in the press again this time being auctioned off for an amazing $41,300. The reason this game fetched such a high price is because it was in its original shrink wrap and is believed to be one of the only 2 unopened games in existence.
Too bad all of my retro gaming stuff is no where to be found. Perhaps you have a gold mine of old games laying around in your closet just waiting to fetch a hot buck. Better get lookin’!

If you weren’t aware, Square Enix has been handing out codes for a free Chocobo Avatar pet for use with Xbox Live. While the requirements for getting the code weren’t exact, you basically just had to promote FFXIII online. Well, the promotion is over and Square Enix will no longer be handing out the codes but that doesn’t mean you completely lost your chance to get one.
As of writing this, there are 33 Chocobo Avatar pet codes listed on eBay ranging from $1.50 all the way up to $50. Wait, is someone out there really willing to pay $50 for an Avatar pet?

The media coverage of Michael Jackson‘s death is finally starting to die down and now this pops up. What you see above is allegedly a Playstation 1 signed by the King of Pop himself.
The bid is currently at $610 but it’s sure to rise as more and more people hear of the auction.
Better yet, this particular console is apparantly the 1,000,0001st Playsation ever made.

It seems that a tattoo and casemod artist by the name of GivinTats was displeased with the current look for the PS 3 and decided to take matters into his own hands.
What you see above is his creation; an alien touting Playstation 3 case. How did he do it?
Well, he used his artistic skills to hand mold epoxy putty into the various forms you see above. After that he covered his work in a layer of black paint and was done.
Any bets on how long it takes for this to appear on eBay?

In another stint to prove that everyone’s out for money (obvious??), it has been noted that recalled, early editions of the highly anticipated LittleBigPlanet are selling for as much as $250 dollars on Ebay. For those a little slow to the draw, that is over 4 times as much as you would pay for a retail copy.
But with the game to officially hit shelves on October 27th, why give in to these extortionists? Well, to be the first on the block with LittleBigPlanet... duh!
