All Time Record Sale on an EBAY Video Game Auction! $90,100!

Breaking news from the world of gaming collectibles: A Nintendo Entertainment System Castlevania has just shattered records on eBay, clinching the title for the most expensive game ever sold at auction on the platform, with a jaw-dropping final bid of $90,100.

What makes this particular copy of Castlevania so extraordinary? It's a factory-sealed gem, one of only five known first prints of the game . Among the key identifiers of a first print is the presence of a factory-built in hangtab on the back, a feature absent in later editions.

In a surprising turn of events, the winning bid will be split between two fortunate collectors, both intent on adding this prized possession to their personal collections, with no intentions of parting ways with it anytime soon. The runner-up, known as 'grailmonster' on Instagram, expressed a belief that the game's value could soar to over $250,000 post-grade.

Hot on the heels of the historic eBay sale, Heritage Auctions has announced plans to offer a First Print Castlevania with hangtab, graded an impressive 9.2 A+, previously listed by ComicConnect in 2021 for $1,250,000.
