Maybe there should be a "silly auction of the day" feature to cover this sort of thing.

The only correct thing for the auction winner to do is to play Ghostbusters. Incessantly.

Ghostbusters was a bomb game if I remember correctly. I played it at my friend Chris Miles' house when i was like 10 and we were terrible at it.

As to the issue at hand, I think every NES is haunted... haunted by the spectre of squandered youth... delicious squandered youth.

Every NES was powered by the brain of an orphan.

Can anyone see "the face" the guy is referring to here?

This just in, someone just brought to my attention that in the first photo of the Nintendo Console, it looks like there's a form of a portion of a face in the photo. It was pointed out to me right in the center of the Nintendo where the cartridge slot is, and below it, is a shading, it somewhat resembles and eye and a mouth, what do you think? I'm not exactly sure so I'm not making any definite claims, but I'm getting more chills thinking about it. These photos have came out not so crisp, but they haven't been altered in any way.

Well, its an interesting way to make (high bid so far) $152 on a Nintendo that he spent maybe $10 on. That's a pretty good ROI. Not tobacco industry good, but good.

I'm just sayin', if we're going to throw every silly "made in the hope that golden palace will throw money at it" auction on the front page there is soon sure to be no room for anything else...

It's not a portion of a face, it's a grilled cheese sandwich.

Wasn't that Venture Bros?

This is even dumber than that very dumb "haunted" ebay painting from a few years back.

Robo, there's also an ATHF episode where Meatwad uses Ouija Nintendo game, and Shake kills himself in order to screw with him.
