I picked up a nicer one of these a couple of years ago. Only one I've ever seen until now. Anyone know any information on this sign?

Believed it was used to call out new games in the middle window. And has neon black lights that light it up too.

This sign will NEVER fetch that kind of money. Saw another one on eBay as a BIN a few months back for around $300 and took several days to sell. It doesn't come around too often, but when it does it fetches average prices.

This.  I'm betting he's just using it as a rare item that he has no intention of selling (thus the insane price) to drum up traffic to his store.

"It's always amazing to me how some of the most worthless games from a gaming perspective tend to fetch outrageous amounts of money. But then again, it could be said that something is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it. I'm curious if the high bidder of the $873.04 Stadium Events (cart-only) realizes that it's nowhere nearly as rare as about 20+ games I can think of that sell for 1/10th that amount?  At any rate, I wanted to draw attention to this trend: if people say it's rare, it must be true, and therefore it must be had at any price."

I was hoping on one of those big red NINTENDO signs we used to see at Funcoland for this kind of price...
