A LUCKY saver recently found an old Nintendo game console for just $8.49, although it could be worth hundreds.
The buyer found the console at Goodwill and there was a surprise hidden inside.
While shopping at the thrift store, they found a GameCube.
The GameCube was a gaming staple of the early 2000s and has since become a valuable collector’s item.
A game was inside, apparently forgotten in the Cube.
It was a copy of MarioKart Double Dash, a popular racing game from 2003.
Both the Cube and the game could be worth a lot of money if everything works and is in good condition.
O Cube itself, even without any controller, could sell for around $119.
O game it can cost up to $75, although this edition could be worth less if the game’s case is missing.
In total, it’s about $194.
The buyer took to Reddit to share his lucky find with the internet.
They posted it on the subreddit r/game collection.
