A rare Nintendo GameCube prototype from the 2000 Space World trade show has surfaced online with a $100,000 asking price. This non-functional prototype, listed on eBay by collector Donny Fillerup, was one of a few units created to showcase the console’s design before its official launch in 2001.

Agreed. Not sure it’s quite $100k cool, but still cool.

So it’s not even a prototype, if it’s legit then at best it’s a design mockup.

All these retro auctions mean nothing to me. It feels like the same dozen buyers making sure their collection stays highly evaluated.
