I hate partial refunds. I don't ask for them as a buyer even if there is a problem. It feels dirty and I will just report the issue and ask for return shipping costs or let the seller offer if they want to and I accept if they are easy to communicate with and it feels fair to us both. As a seller, I intentionally under grade, take tons of pictures, and list every defect I see even if it costs me sales because I save on headaches. I've had over 8000 sales with less than 10 total returns for any reason and have only done a partial refund 4 times to avoid problem buyers and it always felt like feedback extortion.
There was a guy on Nintendoage and I think he might still on be on here, but I looked at his Ebay buyer feedback one time and he literally left nothing but tons of negatives for sellers that wouldn't in and give him partial refunds or comments on how easy sellers were to work with to resolve issues and lots of thank yous for full refunds. Then he would just relist everything for sale again anyway lol-

That's funny, I'm looking for that game. I've seen it twice but never quite had the cash for it at those times.
What's it worth now?
I think the one I found was $60 and it took maybe 6 months of searching a few times a day, so it wasn't too bad. -
When I used to see an actual collector searching for something really rare to complete a set and needed help, I would just add it to my mental searches, so they had more eyes looking and give it to them for what I paid. I remember doing it for someone on NA with a rare Action Max VHS game or something. I had no idea what it even was I was searching for lol

The old Nintendo employee copies are definitely not coming up as frequently as they may have used to. I'd say as a rarity factor, this one is definitely way up there. For a value standpoint, I'd estimate roughly 1.5 - 3x the value of the typical pieces. Something like this is sought after by people such as myself (really just the book for me) but there are a few collectors who have a solid collection of former Nintendo employee copies that would probably go after this if at auction. I think that the following for this game in particular could essentially raise your price pretty well given it is a unique version of a popular title.
I believe the story goes that NoA had employee store where they could rent out games and play them. This would be an example of such a game and book. There is another version that were sent out as promotional copies and denoted by the clear sticker and text reading "NINTENDO PROMOTIONAL OFFER" Not For Resale (yellow text).
The game counselors had a bin of current magazine issues they would take (including NP guides) but typically those are marked by a Desk #xxx or just a number as shown here:

There was a Rifle that popped up on ebay the other day, seller said he pulled it for a 3k offer (figured at least 5-7.5k) IMO.
I have 2 rifles, 4 carts (2x BRM, 1 MACS, 1 MTS) and an original TV (that is just Panasonic if I recall). The Moving Target Simulator is by far the rarest cart in the SNES library and they just aren't out there. BRM or MACS used to hover in the $2k-$2.5k range as a cart but they've been there a long time and are due for a bump. MTS doesn't have enough sales date to have a known price.
Most people don't require them for the set but they are definitely cool!
Any guess why MTS is so crazy rare compered to the others?
I won mine at open auction in 2012 for $200 and I have only seen or heard of maybe 10 total in all the years I've been paying attention and from the old Nintendoage owners list.
My MTS is in the nicest condition by far!

I sell a lot of books using media mail that are too heavy for 1st class and media mail goes by ground and not air, so I've had books take 5+ weeks to Hawaii and Alaska. I block Alaska and Hawaii buyers from immediate checkout and I require anything over 1 pound go Priority mail to both because I'm not dealing with INR claims because of shipping delays and I am also not paying the big difference in costs because I offer free shipping.
I just calculated a 1lb 8 oz book to Alaska or Hawaii with Priority mail and it would be $16 instead of $3 something media mail! lol
The Priority padded flat rate envelopes do help a little sometimes, but I'm still not willing to lose $6+ on shipping on a book when the buyer should pay it.-

I forgot about that poster, but I did have the wings, two colors of them too. I wish I still did, just never bothers to pull the trigger on someone else's pins online.
I still have the pins from our deal with the calendars too!
I just looked up the old NA transaction and it said + 6 pins (Nintendo Power/Starfox) lolDo you remember what pins you had?
I have a bag full somewhere -

If you're interested in selling, @Dr. Morbis, i'm your huckleberry.
If you're not, any chance you could take some pics? Is the poster double-sided? i've not found any info on the poster at all.
I have one that I found about 15 years ago.
I might be interested in selling it to someone for the right price lol

It's a legit not for resale game that only came with the back sticker.

Actually unbelievably so, yes. This new run of speculator and collector infiltrators since last year have changed the dynamic a lot. You have like three groups I could bucket them into. A = The WATA style crank with huge pockets and not so much common sense but hoping for a profit. B = Those who seem somewhat informed and are sticking to the pre-2020 mindset. Then you have the C's and well, they see NEW with old or just all around NEW even as a positive.
A perfect example, to your logic take Pokemon Red Version, a loose game to keep it simple to start. You'd value it as such.. Great label, worn label, no label, repop label...right? Your C's though, it would be Great label, NEW label, worn label, no label. They'll maybe on lazy points take a clean plastic no label over a beat sticker/beat shell as they can pay $5 for a pretty sticker. Now throw in 1:1 quality as they can be now manuals, posters, boxes and trays, they'll pay into the three figures on that stuff with a pokemon game (low 3 but still) with a real game with a nice original or pretty new sticker. YOu though, wouldn't touch that shit with a 10 ft pole, they lap it up.
So yeah...it's a thing and depending on your type of buyer, a HUGE positive. I've been very tempted to take this naked pokemon blue cart I have and get one of those new stickers for it because I could put out $5 and make $10 more on the stupid game with it at least.
His Mario World has sold 183 copies and Mario World + All-Stars are selling pretty good too. I guess you can even get All-Stars graded! lol

Well regrets here, but a decade later I had to let go of what I had. I had most the Fun Clubs other than the first and second, and every issue up through when Future One took over, got insulting in their first issue, and I pitched it in the trash and canceled the sub. Lugged that couple hundred pound plus pile of awesome with me for a long time. These days I have probably 80 issues or so, almost all under 100 and a local super cheap buy that got me a good portion of that started it, the second large buy was like $125 which had most the lowest issues off ebay which I got lucky on. I'm pretty good where I"m at, like to plug a few holes still including #75 which is the Virtual Boy issue.
I think I still have the Nintendo Power calendars I bought from you on Nintendoage in a box somewhere!

Wow for NP, that's asinine. Especially if it's #1 given it had a mass printing. I never got why #2 wasn't the most expensive as that's where it started as strictly pay, had the lowest circulation, plus all the whining do gooder mommy trolls bitching about the beheaded dracula on the cover like it was going to corrupt the youth of america. That one I would figure would be the money maker.
I'm just glad a year about now I got 1+2 and quite a few of the others from the first few years in a relatively cheap bundle. #1 the cover was wrecked like 90% detached, but as I figured, on was better than off and re-attached it as it's for fun. I imagine some doofus would probably pay what I got the lot for or more given that. Funny thing is #2 is in excellent shape.
You could buy all of the early issues reprinted as back issues all the way through 1996 directly from Nintendo Power Magazine! lol

It says right on the front of the box if it came with the red cartridge.

I meant to post this before the auction ended.
It is obviously a reseal, but the box doesn't look right to me.
The UPC on the back bar code is wrong. The pictures, on the back are different. The colors don't look right. The box has the seam at the top instead of the bottom like every SNES game Ive ever had and the black is cracked at the folds?https://www.ebay.com/itm/Pocky-amp-Rocky-2-Super-Nintendo-SNES-Sealed-Fast-Shipping-/324466812171

I've known about this variant for years, but I could never find one in decent shape. I think it was printed for newsstands because there was no sheet of trading cards ever attached just like my #68 variant.

We had a discussion on Nintendoage about these. I have one too with the same label and board and so does theirontoupee.
I don't think they are prototypes, but they are pretty neat!-

your second photo would be considere “Made in Japan”, the labelling is correct.
Made in Mexico VS Made in Japan.
It isn't the Made in Mexico part that is incorrect. Wata graded all 3 copies as USA versions and they are -LTN versions made for other countries and were NOT released for the USA.

Mexico is North America. If you open the flap and look at the code on this game it will have a -USA code. The USA (mostly denoting all of North America for Nintendo releases, except for some Canada specific releases) on our label is the region the game was primarily marketed to, and can also include other compatible countries the game was sold in. The country of origin is a separate thing that just specifies where the parts were made or assembled.
That isn't true. The Latin American games are all -LTN code on the box flap, manual, and cartridge, not USA including these Death and Return of Supermans.
Of course I'm not saying not all Made in Mexico games are all Latin releases. lol
Without even needing to open it and verify, here's what makes it different than any normal Made in Mexico USA version of a SNES game

These all say Made in Mexico, where do you see USA?
On the front of the Wata case. All of the USA versions were Made in Japan

All 3 of these Latin American Made in Mexico versions of The Death and Return of Superman are wrong and listed as USA versions
