Bought Super Mario 1 and 2 together for $405 back in '05.
They're worth $450 ~ $500 EACH now.
I have two of those, by the way. Kirby's Adventure.

And to think, I gave my NES and all games away to my nephew and the extra to a neighbor with kids. He loved it and kept it in pretty good shape, until my neices were born and destroyed everything, not even barbie kept them at bay :icon_lol: :icon_lol:
