An uber-rare Nintendo cartridge worth $1,000 sat in a Las Vegas retro shop for months until it sold for $12, and the store's owners aren't even mad about it: "Score! Our f*** up their gain"

In this era of price guides and readily viewable eBay listings, it's rare to walk out of a retro store with even a small deal on a classic game. But one father-and-son collecting team managed the impossible by grabbing a $1,000 Nintendo cartridge for $12 after it sat unnoticed in a retro shop for months. The best part? The store's owners found out about the slip-up and are congratulating the collectors on the find.

"It happened, I am now the proud owner of the RAREST FAMICOM CARTRIDGE* (that was commercially released in Japan)," collector Brenden Spaulding says in a Bluesky post. "I cannot put into words how happy I am, especially with the added bonus of that price tag no less!"
