Crazy the shortage of switch consoles has them bumping up in value. Animal crossing switch jumped a hundred bucks also. 

So what your saying is my nes carts were built better then my switch carts?

I think 10k is a pipe dream. the automotive series are WAY more desireable the colors and work is beautiful.

 

this nickelodeon branding makes it rare but that does not equate value.

I was thinking the same thing... I doubt this thing has tons of big dollar interest looks like it was used and such. I’d think in the low thousands.

Let me know sealed and great condition only 

I have a vasara collection you need standard or ce

Still, that’s a really good analogy.   At little Samson cib prices why not just have a cib little Samson. 

Easy shantae is cute!

More than sealed prices not too long ago, and IIRC multiple sealed cases were even found recently. Getting to Little Samson prices for the sort of Little Samson of GBC in that it's hard to find, well liked, and well known even by people who don't know much about the console. I'd personally rather have the hypebeast NES game than a GBC game not even 20 years old though!

Looks like a really bad buy considering the condition TBH. The cart is even a little dirty. I only understand these crazy "FU at any price" bids for something in exceptional condition. Hopefully an outlier for you. 3 bidders over $2k though, crazy.

Wasn’t it just one sealed case from the Matt Bozon and half were signed. 

I have the Pikmin planter press kit oddball enough?

I remember I bought 2 sealed Slot Car Thunders for $10 a piece like 8 years ago thinking it was a sleeper rarity and I would sell when the price exploded.

I finally sold one about 3 years ago for maybe $25 or $30 thinking that would never happen.  Finally did sell that second one for about $175 in the past month though.  I was way too early to the boom apparently.  My interest in Gamecube came and left a long time ago, good luck to those fighting for them. 

I remember when you sold me chibi robo for cheap.

Prototypes, store displays, strategy guides, and newsletters. Not sure if any of those are that niche any more.

Prototypes are still very niche. Displays I’d say the complete opposite since the Wii U kiosk became available 

Awesome to see another super fan I’d have to unpack to show off everything but do have a couple I can share like my file copy from capcom cib shantae

I personally don't think there is a correlation between CIB/loose value to its prototype counterpart. I wouldn't pay more for a Little Samson protoype than an Adventure Island. Their supply/demand should be similar.

Historically protoypes value is in software differences but unfortunately Wata, nor HA, label if that's present or not.

Well put. Wata at this point just labels the pcb and that’s about it. That hagane prototype price is to high to me personally. I’ve seen like four hagane prototypes over the years always over this price tho

Unless the guy who bought it sells it to whoever offered the mil.  That would just be classic.

Be hard to sell something to someone that isn’t real. 

So glad terry diebold didn’t get big money! He lied his ass off. Watch a second pop up in a month

GPX I get your argument, hell I do even agree with it pretty much.  It's just this one is unique, very unique.  Even if it just got minimal notice being tossed on ebay or whatever with word of mouth, and not hyped to hell and back by HA and the rest, I still think it would at minimum be a six figures device.  There's just too much history there, too much bad blood, an amazing stories around this one that somehow survived.  It's the mother of all WHAT IF... that actually existed, had Sony not tried to dick Nintendo and it did actually come out where would our gaming world be now?  Dramatically quite different that's for sure, maybe not at this very moment, but the 90s into the 00s would.  It's just on another tier from some super insane rare video game or video game time piece of an event like the NWC carts.  As you kind of put it, it's a unique unknown known.  There's nothing to gauge it by, hype or not, but those who know or grew up in the 90s what the hell that thing is, they'd make a play for it.  SUre they'd want it as cheap as possible, but given the time frame we're looking at, some heavy money could get into a fight on it.

Very good points.to think it’d be cheap here is funny since many collectors in this forum have the money and/or quality high dollar items. I remember when the power fest was offered on Na for over 10k. No clue if it sold.

I see.

In that case my answer is it wouldn't sell on VGS because the seller would quickly realise he could see more money selling in the wider market.

You'd have to be a fool to limit your pool of potential buyers to such a small niche crowd for a unique item of this significance.

Speculating what it "could have sold for" or "should of sold for" is kinda moot when we are witnessing the current market value for the item unfold in real time...

Have your fun, I guess but I'd rather keep my eye on the reality of the situation rather than some imagined scenario... Unless you wanna get super creative with it!

 

How much would the Nintendo Playstation be worth if everything else was the same, but no hype, and also every 24 hours a batch of baby radioactive scorpions crawled from the cooling vents? 

That answer 3x + hype / irl vgs= 3.50

If this didn't have the media hype, and somebody just posted it FO on VGS, what would you guys have offered for it?

Whatever it took! 

Now just drop another 279 k so I can grab this

I think my holy grail for now is sealed M.U.S.H.A. for Sega Genesis. Not just only pricey item, but i think a kinda hard to find. 

So jelly any chance this gets sold ever?

Then it isn't a sample.

I have a sample of a game with a retail board inside and the only different is a white sticker on the front with "SAMPLE" written on it. The previous owner could have literally pulled the label off and written that on himself, I don't even know myself at this point. So potentially, I could do this with 5 other games and sell them as prototypes.

When it contains a retail board, there's no way to tell so it cannot be a prototype. It is only a sample of pre-production retail.

What you are talking about  doesn’t sound like a sample. I’ll post my pocky rocky sample pcb later and tag ya.

To date, WATA has:

• graded a star code box as a promotional box
• graded an opened, complete copy of a game as sealed
• graded a sealed copy of a game as opened
• graded a sample as a prototype
• graded a retail board as a prototype
• swapped someone's game with another random person's (much less valuable) game
• graded mismatched inserts as complete
• graded a circle seal as an oval seal

If you're not reselling and taking advantage of Heritage Auctions, go with VGA to be sure it gets graded properly.

A sample cart is considered a prototype. Not nearly desirable as prototype with changes and such. Also early samples can have differences.

yeah, it has a disc, I can hear it moving in the slot for it.

I know the potential investment is low, but I have the temptation to open them, even though I already have opened versions of them, so I wanted to ensure that I can't open them.

The PSABR is special because of that copies unique history.(somewhat at least)

As for ducktales: it was delisted and I have it downloaded from steam, so I figured...."hey....why not?"

If ducktales remastered was the pin with code I’d say grade it

Haha! Did you ever get another one? If it makes you feel any better, I have enjoyed having it in my collection quite a bit xD

Lol yeah got a sealed one for like 200 bucks. Didn’t like the gameplay so I’m glad it went to you.

I am in the market for the Gold Duck Tales Press Kit which was released in 2013. There are some discrepancies, however, with the Certificate of Authenticity. There were only 150 released. Some say (number)/150 (e.g. 78/150; 116/150, etc.). Others say AP/150. I can’t find any information differentiating the two. I am wondering if they made more than 150 and the AP/150 is of lesser rarity. Can anyone explain to me the difference?

They made more then 150. They made 150 for pal also. The press got the ap ones.

ive also heard these were faked but never could find out for myself the ways to tell.
