In case you missed it, the rare prototype Sega ‘Pluto’, one of only two known to exist has failed to reach it reserve price in an eBay auction that ended last week. That is despite the bidding reaching a whopping $15,500 (£10,101.67). All this after Roger Vega’s (aka YouTube user kidvid666) previous attempt at selling on Game Gavel failed with a highest bid of $7,600.
The ‘Pluto’ is unusual in that it is probably one of the rarest consoles in existence and there is no precedent for a sale. Perhaps his expectations of what it could fetch are unreasonable or the fact that there is nothing really groundbreaking about the hardware (it’s just a Saturn with internet connectivity and a new case after all). Or perhaps it’s his 0 feedback rating that is stopping a sale. Whatever the reason, the ‘Pluto’ is staying put with Roger for now.
