Based on the seller, I can bet my life that is authentic.
That is a hefty BIN price though.

Absolutely authentic. Not sure what he'd take as these have gone crazy the last couple years.

There was a debate on one of the zelda pages that I'm a member of on wether or not it was authentic. I assumed it belonged to somebody over here if it was legit. I'm not interested in it at anywhere close to that price

The only way to be 100% sure is if the back label is intact, and it doesn't have an embossed letter/number.

This is as real as it gets.

They do say best offer, and no one talks about all the stuff I have sold mega cheap over the years and on this forum. It is always about the high priced stuff. It never ends.

What is with the constant bashing and piling on? He can ask whatever he wants for his items. BEST OFFER. Why is that so difficult to comprehend? OP asked about authenticity, not price. Get over it.

And I answered the OP about authenticity, even going as far as saying all his stuff is always legit. That's a pretty good commendation if you ask me.

I should still be free to offer my opinion on his pricing politics, no need for (vicariously) hurt feelings.

Actually, there's no need for pricing police. BEST OFFER. BEST OFFER. BEST OFFER. 

Get it yet? Asking price means so little. It's to get attention to an item. And guess what? It works.

The cart is authentic, the seller is reputable, the asking price is high, and there is a best offer. All factual comments, no need for more arguing.

Yeah... I know the exact reasoning and how it pertains to drawing attention to the item. The concept of best offer is not a big mystery either, but thanks for continuously pointing it out in caps anyway

I'd give you a valid counterargument as to why such a way of presenting an auction is in fact harmful to the collecting community as a whole, but that would be a waste of time. So let's stick a fork in it and call 'er done.

Edit: didn't see jone's comment before I posted, but seeing as how I called for a truce already I'll just let it stand.

If this is the case the countless VGA and Factory Sealed auctions you see need to have posts about them. You have members of this forum doing this all the time (and there is nothing wrong with that) but for some reason I put something up and the world goes nuts. NWC, Stadium Events, now the test cart. I mean, I am not sure how you think this is "harmful" and what not but seriously, if you had issues with this go make posts about it to everyone else and their auctions.  I know Bronty always says no one does this to me on purpose but the ratio of games I sell for best offer vs everyone else is minimal and I am always getting the passive aggressive remarks. Guess what? There is an NWC Gold in Norway because of me in a good trade that thomaser has. Would you like to say that was not a good deal or something? Again, not knowing but attacking = another head scratcher.

Cmon guys. I only posted because I didn't know who this belonged to. Some people were wondering about the authenticity. I personally don't care about the price. Sorry to bring you into a price bash war Dream....

barrett jackson syndrome ( defined/ explained in the link ) http://www.chevelles.com/forums/6...

but here is an expired listing for one; http://www.ebay.com/itm/RARE-Yell...

another which did nt sell ( or at least did nt show or it was dealt with in private w/ ebay not being involved, dunno ) http://www.ebay.com/itm/-/2015156...

and with the cartridge in mention, i do not see it for the asking price nor the seller will let it go for some super inflated or non reasonable price offered for the item ( because its an item no matter what the offer will be imo )

I am the seller. Not sure how you did not put two and two together here. Thanks for the insults. 

Before I ask you to put on your clownshoes, let me educate you on a few things:

I've sold a gazillion things way cheaper on ebay and on these forums for years. I've probably been collecting video games longer than you have been alive.

This is not some "junky" care I am trying to get a million dollars for, nor am I "actively" pushing it. It's the only one on eBay right now, which was the point of me listing it to see where the market/offers/value are.

I've had record sales of many items in private sales, including the gray NWC and I have give away games cheap to people that needed them all the time. 

Showing me "ended" listings = you might as well show every single person on here that asks above valoue for anything, especially sealed VGA games, because this is not a new development and I RARELY do it, but this keeps coming back on something I am selling. 

But please, continue to be a part of the Ringling Bros. It's fabulous.
