If one were looking for the motherload of classic Nintendo game cartridges, surely The Hamptons could be one of the last places you’d expect to find it.

However, that’s exactly where it was. Who even knew The Hamptons had – or allowed – garage sales? Anyway, one lucky soul bought 100 games from a former Nintendo employee who was holding the garage sale. Many of the games were prototypes, meaning they never hit the market and are like the Honus Wagners of the video game collecting world.

Naturally, the savvy buyer is putting up the titles for sale on eBay. One game – just one – has already fetched $250. He has 99 more to sell. And how much did the buyer pay for all 100 games? $40. Nice job.
