The high bid is now at $200,000, 8 hours after your comment was made and 12 hours after the link was posted to HN (when the highest bid was ~$30,000).
This is expected by many to be the highest valued item ever sold at auction in the game collecting community.

It's not easy to prove to a website that you have $250,000 USD in your bank account... and will continue to have that much 20 days from now. >This is expected by many to be the highest valued item ever sold at auction in the game collecting community.

- gryson 7y agoHeritage Auctions is having floor bidding on March 6, which is where the value will really be decided. But a copy of Super Mario Bros. sold for $100,000 last year. This thing is going to go for a lot more. Just browse Twitter if you need sources for public opinion. Expectations are very high: https://twitter.com/search?q=nintendo%20playstation&src=typed_query https://twitter.com/search?q=nintendo%20playstation&src=type...
