Got huge wads of cash burning a hole in your pocket? Check out this eBay auction for 741 NES cartridges, including all 670 Nintendo-licensed games released in North America.
The bidding is now at $3,600 however the reserve is not yet met. The shipping alone will set you back $400, but this is unlikely to bother anyone who spends this kind of money on piles of shitty old games.

These Playstation-branded Air Force 1 shoes are sure to catch the eye of many fashion-challenged Sony fanboys. They can be yours…provided you can beat the current bid of US$1,025. The high price is a result of these shoes never making it to the public, only 150 made and only being given to Sony execs and celebrities.

I’ve seen some obscure collectibles in my time, but nothing beats this in terms of rarity, uselessness, or an obscene price of entry. Pictured is the only known prototype in existence of an Iomega Zip Drive for the Sega Dreamcast. It would have been quite useful for storing save games, had there ever been games released that supported the device, however as it stands, this device has all the functionality of a paperweight.
The icing on a truly absurd cake? The starting bid for the auction is USD $10,000. NB: Your significant other does NOT think this is a good investment.
It must make a collector’s blood boil when a rare item in fantastic condition ends up on eBay, gets spotted by a blogger with no intention of purchasing it, and subsequently does the rounds of the entire internet.
Oh well.
The pictured item is a Pong machine manufactured in 1973, before Atari was called Atari. The bid is currently at US $305, with over a week left until the auction finishes.
