So... What's the betting that this won't last until the end of bidding, and that a backdoor deal will be done?

9 grand is the starting price, but it has got to be worth 25 grand at least, right?

I'd imagine it would end up going for a hefty amount. 20+

Unrelated to the auction, but what does the "Series 2" mean in the bottom left?

Incredible.

The release of Family Fun Fitness.   Athletic World was Series 1, and I think Dance Aerobics was supposed to be Series 3 potentially?   Or maybe that was NA fan fiction.
 

If this isn't a scam then yes but there is a limited pool of people with this kind of cash just sitting around waiting for an auction to pop up. The best way to sell high dollar items is to give the buyers both some assurance it is legit and to give them more time. The ones that sold for the highest prices have been private sales between well known collectors sometimes with payments etc. I wouldn't be shocked if this one goes to a reseller at undermarket price and sits back up on ebay.

Pretty SE. Congrats to them on the pay day they are about to get.

It was the third in the Family Trainer series in Japan, so there might be some truth to it.

 

I don't doubt the authenticity but I do wonder if this is one of the people who Atwood swore to secrecy, forcing them to come up with a thrift store story.  

Incredible. I work in Long Island City Queens and I always try to hit up thrift stores. Long Island City is right next to Astoria. This really keeps me motivated knowing that there are still crazy items to be found out there.

Good point.  I wouldn't be surprised but we will never know.

 

Very nice!! Dam

He did put up a picture with time stamp and name
Someone bid 9.000$

Wowzers

Found at a thrift shop? Every thrift shop i know would of slapped a sticker on this or priced with a sharpie. Odd that it doesn't have any of that on the box at all.

Very nice! Definitely legit from the video they posted. The ultimate finders keepers. Incredible!

Looks legit, but I still don't believe it. Too mint to have been thrown around a thrift shop, but I aint buying so it doesnt really matter

Game looks real, story seems like some BS.

Looks legit but does seem fishy. Person only has 4 ratings and the two people bidding it up at the moment only have 4 & 6..

Gentlemen, we have hit 15,000 already! 4 bidders, and counting, 5 days left... This will be one for the ages!

About the only hope would be that it was in the "ALL VHS $1" bin.
 

Yeah seems like it.......... too good of condition to been at a thrift store. The Game is legit no doubt but the story is fake
 

That story sounds way to good to be true, there has to be something else going on with that copy.

$10 shipping cost to Canada? WTF? No way I'm bidding on this, what a ripoff!

^ damnn... yeah and I agree on the hang tag

also did anyone watch the video?



I'm in NY and if everything here checks out this is fkn wild. Things like this make me giddy like a little kid all over again...the fact that there ARE diamonds in the rough still to be found. They're out there
