True. And there is no way I'd pay that kind of price for a 2600, even as
complete as that one is. Though, I really have no idea what my own 2600
and all the games/etc cost back when I originally bought them new. All
totaled up, It very well may have been in the $400-500+ range. And yes, I
still have my original 2600, though I had to replace the graphics
processor back in the mid 1990s, as the old one died from over voltage. I
wish I'd known the +5V adjustment was set a little high way back when, as
it managed to kill probably 8-10 carts (all replaced) back in the 80s. I
had the same problem with my old C64, which I also figured out much later.

There is a ton of stuff included though. I'm really not too surprised
that someone would fork over that much money to acquire such a
complete collection in one go.
It's worth noting that only two people went over $333. It's a nice
collection, but I'm not convinced it warrents the price.
