Sam NES Litman | 53 Posted April 29, 2023 Author Share Posted April 29, 2023 I have a graded MM 5 Screw that price charts close to 9k BUT mine is graded and very very clean, maybe the nicest on the planet , very valuable. I’d consider trading it for Mah-Jong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MondoDavo | 6 Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 Hello everyone, Been a bit of a lurker on this thread for a while. But finally signed up. I have a boxed copy of Mah Jong and it's going up for auction in July. This copy was found in Hong Kong, and in the 10 years I've lived there it is the only one I have ever seen. That doesn't mean there aren't other copies in the Cantonese speaking collecting circles tho. This copy is a totally 'new' find so it's not on any of the previous lists of known copies. It's a bit rough around the edges. The box has wear and tear with one of the top tabs missing and the other very flimsy, but the box on the whole it's pretty good. The cartridge itself is in very good condition, but the label is getting slightly loose at the very lower lefthand side. Below are a few pics, including a shot of the board as that was mentioned earlier. Here's the link to auction https://comics.ha.com/itm/video-games/other/mah-jong-ungraded-boxed-hong-kong-version-nes-nintendo-1983-hk/p/7349-82001.s?ic4=ListView-ShortDescription-071515 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

final fight cd | 187 Posted June 18, 2023 Share Posted June 18, 2023 Who does the authenticating of non graded CIB games like this when selling at HA? HA themselves? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DefaultGen | 5,424 Posted June 18, 2023 Share Posted June 18, 2023 Whoaoaoaoa, Mah Jong at public auction! This is exciting! The high end HA crowd typically doesn't pay randomly nutty prices for obscure old man rares like this, so this should give us a realistic market price finally. My hot obscure random rare coffers are currently empty. Good luck to all the bidders taking out home equity loans 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact it isn’t Mario, Zelda, comic related, or some random sports dude on the cover it’ll be interesting what the HA crowd bids this up to. Does the dentist even know this exists?

I do not condone backdooring usually but in the case of taking it away from some scummy auction house, I’m all for it 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They sure don't come up for sale very often, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broadway is big retailer in Hong Kong, similar to Dixon's in the UK or BestBuy in the US. You'd go there for stuff with a warranty etc. If you wanted the grey imports or pirate gear which was everywhere in HK during the 80's people would go to the Golden Computer Centre. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
