Does Paris Hilton shop around for the best price, or does she shop at random stores and buying them indiscriminately? So with that in mind, what’s the hurry to buy a complete N64 US cart collection at a crazy rate? I think this is one of those cringe attempts at market manipulation. FWIW, a complete Pal N64 cart collection listed on eBay Australia is being listed for roughly $9000 US, and it’s been listed for several months now. Why aren’t any dumb rich millionaires clicking on that BIN price? Simple enough: Convenience > cash/time when you have enough money. Also, the reason those aren’t being bought is because PAL sucks. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GPX | 1,369 Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 Guys, come on, noone’s spending 30,000USD on a loose cart collection just to play them, be it NTSC/PAL/otherwise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The “Pal sucks” reference..which I agree btw, but with regards to gaming. Collecting-wise, both should be of similar worth from what I understand of the loose cart markets over the past decade. Certainly no reason for an NTSC set to be 3-4 times that of a Pal set regarding loose carts. So I conclude, either there is market manipulation (a bogus deal) or the market is completely nonsensical/illogical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phart010 | 1,707 Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 Some people spend first and ask questions later. This person probably just has WAY more money to blow than we’re used to seeing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NintendoTwizer | 123 Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 This makes me think about a old sale on Nintendoage probably sometime around 2012/2013 a guy was selling his CIB N64 set (missing the boxes/instructions on a couple of the high ends). I think he wanted $2300 for the set, something like that. He sold it after two or three weeks on the market. Where's my time machine? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't there also a very near complete SNES CIB set that was up for sale for like $10K around the same time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Byuu’s was around that time, but he had it listed around $20K and I think it sold for $17k-ish to Retrosauce. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, a little more than I remember. Still a great deal in retrospect but I guess kinda everything was back then compared to today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He actually started piecing out that set of his last month. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
