Y'all, I had a look at Torsten's selling page and have noticed that his boxed Punch-Out!! (with an asking price of 15,000GBP!! ) has been sold!!! Anybody know any details of this transaction? It must have gone for a pretty penny, I'm tipping... pulse8

This was discussed some time ago. Someone asked Torsten about it and he said that he put it there only for a laugh. I doubt he had one for sale in the first place, let alone selling it for that much..

Well, the case is not closed... The punch-out really is sold, for that amount I have confirmation from Torsten himself. The buyer is a senior collector who was looking for that box for years, but wants to be anonymous..... I asked him about it when he put it up for sale , it was meant as a joke to show where prices were going if they keep rising like the way they do. he didn't expect to sell it, but couldn't refuse 15000 GPB I know nothing more Mattijs

But still, if that's what someone is prepared to pay for a game, then let it be. I wonder if the "wanted" add on Taki's website will remain, if not then it's pretty obvious who bought the game ;D

I've heard the same story myself but I wan't sure Torsten did have one for sale.. If it's true, then I suppose this collector has a lot of cash stashed somewhere and he doesn't know what to do with it..

Torsten is the only collector I know who's got a decent photo of the punch-out box, so I reckon he has got one. Of course, if he did sell, it, it doesn't mean he got 15k. Someone may have made him a good offer. I can only think of 3 people with enough money and desire to pay the sort of money it would have taken. I'll not mention names.
