I wonder what etsy's fees are for them to list it there instead of somewhere else.

The price is odd, I wonder if the $1,750 on top of the $40k is to cover the persons fees?

Price seems a bit steep to me? Is this a fair price?

Most likely the price is 30k off for me personally. The best items are the hardware and such the games they say are top titles but the top name they drop is r type 3. Also I don’t see much value in the spare pcbs they usaully get sold on eBay fairly cheap. The only way I see this having  value is the data on those populated pcbs.

Thank you for the insight. The systems, NTF2, and the prototypes are neat but the rest of the lot is just spare parts as far as I see. Anyone else see anything I missed?

"This lot was recovered after the death of "Medusa" a well known Nintendo collector, stored in styrofoam which inhibits the aging process of these gaming items."

Anybody know who this is?

I'm 100% certain at least one of those prototypes came from me (The Nolan Bros Pedigree).  There may be some others, but one is unique enough to identify for sure.  I don't recall a "Medusa" offhand though.

Hmm... that 9th picture of the boards looks like a lot of scrap Nintendo boards I sold on eBay in April. Looks like my handwriting where it says Blue- as that was once a Pokémon blue board.

8% + $0.45 ($0.20 listing, 5% transaction fee, 3% + $0.25 payment processing fee). So fees would be $3340.45.

Ok so they would save a bit because ebay's fees are higher. What a crazy situation...
