Random eBay auctions routinely go up with versions of games that were either never opened or are so rare, it doesn't matter if they were opened or not, and collectors outbid one another in a mad dash to finish their collection. These days, some rare NES games are so coveted that they often sell for hundreds, if not thousands (and even hundreds of thousands) of dollars online. Another thing nobody could have predicted was that any of those amazing little gray cartridges could be worth more than the money people paid for them, but time makes fools of us all. Back in the mid-1980s, nobody could have imagined that the Nintendo Entertainment System would be able to bring the video game industry out of the funk that came with the market crash, but that's exactly what it did.
