    I can't decide between this, or a McLaren F1.

    If I ever spend $1.75 mil on anything that isn't attached to the ground, the bastard who sells it to me better have the decency to at least deliver it!

    Remember what happened to the Atari Superman game? It was such a flop, that they took the ones they couldn't sell, dug a hole out in the desert, threw all the unsold copies in the hole...to prevent treasure hunters from digging it up, poured concrete over the hole, then filled the rest in with dirt.

    The irony is you can download an Atari emulator and download the ROM image of this game for free. There is nobody in the world who is a big enough video game nerd to pay the claimed $50k for it, let alone $1.75mm.

    For $100k I bet you could get a special housing for the game machined from solid platinum and get all the original game coders to sign it.

    If you work through the fee schedule, Ebay wants $30.56 plus 1.5% of the amount above $1000. However, an unconsummated sales gets the fees credited back. The defaulting buyer may also be subject to additional legal action.
