131,000Y - according to xe.com that's $1231.75 !!!
I've never seen one close so high. Although I wouldn't consider this the new value, I'd definately say if you see one under $600 it's a for sure buy.
I still value it $600-$800, but now maybe on the high end.
Why did this close so high? It helped it came with the memo card to shareholders and original mailing box. I don't have either, but I'd hardly pay more than $50 extra to get those. The card I could get reprinted by taking a scan to a copy center and the box...well ok that's a bit tougher. It does make it more valuable, but I'd only say by 5-10%.
Did you know early this year someone posted 2 sealed ones (sealed in original mailing box), brand new never taken out at 45,000Y buy-out? Only 1 closed, the other never did. I already had mine I paid 41,600Y for I think so I was not interested. Now I think I could've resold it.
For those curious, bidder 2 was 130,000Y and bidder 3 was 60,500Y.
