WHY? IT’S A NINTENDO 64!
It’s not like this is some really really important object in the history of pop culture. Hell, I’m sure there are lots and lots of people that HAVEN’T seen the video.
God… $1,000 for a N64… people are DUMB.

Um, Joe – you’re way off on this one. That’s totally awesome. Every time I see that video I want to have a kicking contest, with that kid as the object that must be kicked and the winner being whoever kicks the kid the furtherest. Or maybe it should be the most. Or maybe the hardest. I don’t know, I really haven’t had a chance to work out the details yet. But anyway, I’m getting away from the point. Selling your N64 for $1,000 just because you inspire people to kick you is a sweet deal.
No, Chris. You misunderstand me.
This is very similar to the aftermath of the 2003 Blackout. There were NYC-based entrepreneurs who sold very simple T-shirts which read “I SURVIVED THE BLACKOUT” and there may have been an outline of the NYC skyline sans lights. The sellers of the T-shirts are just trying to make a buck; it’s the American way, and I’ll be damned if I’m going to put down the American way. But, there are people out there who PAID MONEY to buy these ridiculous shirts and then WORE THEM IN PUBLIC. It’s these people who are morons for buying useless items.
Same deal here. I’m not knocking the kid (he’s all grown up now, so I guess he’s a guy now) for selling his N64, and kudos to him for getting some schmucks to shell out over $100 for it. I don’t know if you know the market value for a used Nintendo 64, but it’s very much lower than $1,000. Anyone who’s willing to spend more for a N64, even one as unique as this, instead of buying… let’s say… a PlayStation 3 when it comes out in a couple of months, is a bonafide fool.
