New Kids On The Block NES Box Fetches Ridiculous Sum

By Michael McWhertor on November 5, 2009 at 12:20 PM

How much would you pay for this New Kids On The Block sample box for the NES game that was never released? If you’re off your rocker for NKOTB, then surely $US589 isn’t too high a price.

Or so said box, obviously in terrible shape, commanded when auctioned off on eBay last month. As spotted by Siliconera, a fierce bidding war for the unreleased game’s box — again, this is just a prototype of a box, not even a real box — ultimately came down to nearly six hundred bucks American.

Unfortunately for the seller, whoever won that auction apparently didn’t come through. The box has since been relisted on eBay, with two days worth of bidding to go. Right now, top bid is $US51, something we’ll be keeping an eye on.

Somewhat related, is anyone interested in a copy of Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch: Make My Video for Sega CD? I’m looking to unload a few.
