New record: Mario game yields 1.7 million euros
2021 is the year of games that bring in record amounts. Another Rare Super Mario Bros 1985 Game Sold For A Bizarre Price
You can invest in so many things these days. The best thing is of course investing in something you have an affinity with. Then you enjoy your purchase even more. In that respect, games are booming. Recently, many records have been broken and rare copies have increased in value at an unprecedented rate.
Super Mario Bros 1985
Last Friday, Rally, a collector’s website, sold a 1985 copy of Super Mario Bros. The game had never been taken out of the box. A buyer was willing to pay as much as $2 million for the cartridge. That is converted about 1.7 million euros. An unbelievably high amount. Also good for a new world record. Never before has a game made so much money.
Extra special, because the old record was only reached a month ago. In short, games are rapidly increasing in value. This game was probably also bought by someone who hopes to be able to collect even more money for it in the future. After all, taking the game out of the package is a waste of capital.
Incidentally, the item did not go to one buyer. Through Rally, buyers get the chance to get hold of a piece. If the game, in this case Super Mario Bros. from 1985, is sold again, all buyers will get a piece of the potential profit. All investors have a say in whether they want to keep the item or sell it on. (via New York Times)
