When I first heard about Excite Truck, I expected to be jumping ramps with a tractor trailer, which is sadly not included. It's SUVs and pickup trucks.

I’d expect for the time being for more obscure games like that to stay low for a bit, then jump up when we get population reports etc. Same for Uninvited. I won the Dragon Warrior 9.6/A+ for like $2300 with BP, and I gotta say I’m thrilled. The 1HP variant in mint condition with no sun fading is very difficult to come across. My maximum was a lot higher. I only bid on DW and made a good run at Contra, but enough was enough at some point lol... I love that now people are recognizing how much harder the first print DW is. This seemed like an unknown(?) variant until like a year ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kell | 102 Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 Just checked my DW... and fortunately it is the 1 HP version. Wish I had known about all these variants years ago. Also wish I would have realized the premium condition gets since I was not that concerned with it. Is there a good consolidated list of variants for sealed games? Seems like the info is a bit scattered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just surprised that there isn't another reputable boutique auctioneer, given how much these guys can pocket from a single-day auction event. It's kinda like the ebay vs everybody else situation. If you don't have the proper exposure to buyers, people would rather use the known driver to maximize their returns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Contra was mental. I’ll have settle for my vga 90 and the cover art.

You aren't settling, likely the same or very similar grade. 90 and up is noticeably nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1upped | 152 Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 I picked up the Bandit Kings for what I thought was one of the few decent prices in the auction. Overpaid for a few more middle of the roaders that I needed for the collection. Some crazy prices.....2k for a mint Bases Loaded seemed mind blowing to me.....used to be able to get a black box for that amount... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frost271 | 22 Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 (edited) All these prices are mind boggling insane; but I have been out of the game for 2 years. However, - great buy on the DW1. Solid copy of a first print people are going to start paying more attention too, and should - Contra... mmmk. No comment on that. - Tombs & Treasure. I think its a fair price. I remember this being a very difficult title to get in any condition, let alone solid box. - Untouchables “Blue Box Variant” Cover. I’d really love to get some opinions on this one from long time collectors. I was thinking it would go for more. This is the prize, imo, for variant and set collectors in this lot. Very few people seem to know about this variant, or maybe the more accurate statement, care, but this is extremely rare to find sealed. I’ve only seen two hit the open market in the last 12 years (exception not paying attention the last 2), with this one being the second. Whoever got this copy, PM me. Would love to chat.

Quack | 24 Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 I think I'm gonna list my test cart on Heritage. Hoping it can generate some interest, not sure how the market is since I'm not too active these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just bought a mint CIB 1HP version of DW for $40 on eBay. 50x premium for sealed? No thanks. Although I see Mega Man went for a 200x premium over CIB, so suddenly Dragon Warrior doesn't seem too bad.

Bronty | 187 Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 And the Se at heritage will go for a very low multiple over cib. Multiple of cib is just not a reliable way to even guess at value of sealed 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonebone | 1,307 Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 Sealed multiple is title specific and print specific too. I like rules of thumb a lot as a general estimate but it's simply too broad to quote a CIB to Sealed multiplier as a rule of thumb. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is some correlation... the CIB prices act as the floor for sealed. THey do not, however, have much impact on anything but the floor.

austin532 | 467 Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 If we are talking about the same game then it absolutely can. A mint CIB can be worth more than a trashed sealed one. It also varies from game to game though. A 5.0 sealed Contra will almost always be worth more than a 10.0 CIB Contra. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it has to be game and print specific. The common stuff CIB I dont think could ever be worth more then sealed (Mario 3 right bros). But I think there rarer the title cib the better chance a super high grade Cib has of outselling a super low grade sealed, (duck tales 2?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronty | 187 Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 The way I’d put it is that the sealed whole has a floor value equal to the inherent CIB parts on a like for like basis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
