A sealed copy of Super Mario Bros for the NES has just been sold by the Heritage Auctions House in Dallas, Texas for a whopping USD 660,000. This eclipses the previous world record for most paid for a video game which was USD 114,000.
The Super Mario Bros copy was released in 1986 and purchased in the same year as a holiday gift. It was left in a forgotten desk drawer for 35 years. The former owner said that they had “never thought anything about it”.
According to the head of the gaming-memorabilia division at Heritage Auctions, Valerie McLeckie, finding another copy of the video game in the same condition is close to impossible.

That said though, he still has the mentality of "as long as it works" for his personal gadgets.
