Cleckheaton, West Yorkshire -- (SBWIRE) -- 08/21/2017 -- A particularly early copy of the original "Super Mario Bros" game has recently sold for $30,100.44 on eBay. What makes this copy of the game so special and highly sought after id the fact that it is still in the original shrink wrap from when it was sold back in the 1980s.
The game in which has been preserved in shrink wrap film for the past 30 years was sold by Drew Stiemel, an online retro store owner. The eBay owner started the auction at just one penny but bids started rolling in incredibly quickly, reaching up to over £30,000.
This is just one of the stories in which shows how valuable shrink wrap can make things, especially as things get older. Other games, CD's and collectables have also sold for high prices when still in their original shrink wrap.
A spokesperson from one of the UK's leading shrink wrap machinery providers, Sontex, was incredibly keen to comment, "It is no surprise to us that this game has sold for so much, as things tend to bring in a lot of money when they're still shrink wrapped and free from damage. Here at Sontex we offer a wide range of shrink wrapping machines and shrink wrap film to allow companies of all kinds to shrink wrap their products, not only keeping them safe and protecting them from harm but also increasing their value."
