This classic Nintendo NES game console sold for $13,105, thanks to the ultra-rare video game, 'Stadium Events.

With the Nintedo Wii going for less than $200, would you pay $13,000 for a 20-year-old game console?

If you were a rabid game collector you would.

Some Mario-loving gamer recently shelled out $13,105 for a Nintendo NES game console on eBay, but the big bucks purchase wasn't necessarily for the antiquated system.

What made the classic console so valuable? An ultra rare track-and-field game bundled with it.

"Stadium Events," released by Bandai in 1987, is considered one of the rarest console games in North America. Only a handful of them are thought to exist today.

This uninspired sports game sent the value of the eBay auction through the roof. First listed on February 3 for just $9.99, within hours it shot up to $5,000, until February 10, when the game peaked at its eye-popping sale price.

Other rare console games include "Nintendo World Championships: Gold Edition," "Kizuna Encounter" and "Bangai-O: Prize Edition."

I wonder if the seller knew the value, could you imagine expecting $50 bucks max and getting 13k O_O
