In recent news a man found an extremely rare attire game called Air Raid was sold at an online auction for $33,433.30. The man’s name is Harv Bennett and he found this copy of the game it his family storage unit. In all there where 31 bids on the game the biggest jump went from $100 to $16,000.
I think that it is a huge waste of money to spend that much on a game, but Harv probably feels lucky for keeping the game.
What is your opinion on this topic?

If it isn't possible to get an old game at all then it would probably be even more expensive than that.
Duh who spends 33,000 on a game when you can buy the best one for 60...BLACK OPS 2 BABY!!
i agree...that seems like a crazy amount of money to pay for one video game. When you can just probably find a free version on the computer. I do understand some people want the game itself as the novelty, but thats a lot of money!
Wow, that's alot of money. Although, if it went for that much, keep it for awhile, than make some real money! I guess, it's all about coming down to doing the things you love, and what the cost is. Just insane!
I think that that's a ridiculous amount to spend on a game. I hope that the game can be preserved or recreated so everyone can play it. I hope whoever bought it thinks it's as good as they remember otherwise that would be an insane waste of money.
Wow people will spend a lot of money for such an old game i mean i know i wouldn't want to waste that much money on one.
Whoa! I think i have heard of that game before. That is one lucky guy though, i wish i could just go into my family's storage unit and pull out a rare game!
I think that no game is worth that amount of money especially an Atari that is soo old.
Oh my gosh! That is a lot of money for a game. I bet that guy is saying "Yeah, buddy." Hahah that would be awesome. I still would not spend that much money on a game, just think of everything else you could buy!
