So....damn....unfair....imagine the guy who unwittingly owned this the last 15 years before trading it in for .25 cents.

What the hell do you expect? Him to reveal his personal address and continue gloating about this until he somehow gets screwed over? Of course you would make an alt account and abruptly shut the hell up about it! When was the last time you saw a single $100 bill from 1985 let alone all of these? He even shows how it was folded and it makes perfect sense.

It makes sense to make a spare account and keep quiet about it but this is the internet after all where every guys dick is at least 10 inches and every womans bra size is in the DDs. Might have been real, might have been faked.

But I do know I've come across some heavier then normal NES games and always wondered why...maybe I should start buying them and opening them up lol.

I found a complete copy of Zak McKracken inside some crappy flight sim PC box. I was pretty stoked about that. Finding $5,000 must have been downright mind blowing.

I found a Hang-On card for the SMS inside a Double Dragon SMS box this year. I still long for the day I'll find something like this.

Also, to add to the craziness of that, 5000 bucks back in 1985 has the 2016 equivalent value of 11,231.00 today!!
