MK8 Limited Edition from Nintendo World NYC?

[NeonSpaceBeagle]

I could use some greatly appreciated advice.

 

I started cataloging my collection and when I got to the Wii U I was completely floored by the going cost of this that I picked up at the nintendo world store back in May of 2014.  They had a midnight launch of Mario Kart 8 there and I managed to snag a copy of the limited edition MK8 with the blue shell.  Apparently it's worth quite a bit.  This is the red box that was only distributed at the nintendo store in NYC, not the blue box that some stores in Europe got apparently.

 

I have no clue how to go about selling this.  I don't really want to do ebay for just this one game.

 

Does anyone here know anyone possibly trying to collect this?  I thought about maybe emailing gamer collector youtubers!?

 

 

 

Also, I was supposed to sell someone here a 5200 a while back, I sincerely apologize for never going through with that and deciding to keep it.

 

It's complete, has original receipt.. the box is a little worn as it's been sitting on my shelf for 6 years, but good condition.

I read one place saying only 350 were made, but another site saying a few thousand were made for the launch party..

 

The only one on ebay right now seems to be an absurd graded one for 5 thousand dollars.  It looks like previous sales of it on pricecharters were no where near that but pretty high.  I am wondering if this is something I should hold on to, but I could also definitely use the money.
