Craigly1234 | 110 Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 The duo pack for GameCube has been put up for auction for less than 24 hours and is already at $2500 dollars. With 9 days left. Insanity. how high do you think it could get? This is something multiple people have been trying to get for years so I wonder how much someone is going to be willing to pay to finally have it after all these years. As far as I know it’s only the second public auction of the game, and the first one never sold/was taken down early. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RH | 4,901 Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 How rare is this and why is it THAT rare? I mean, anything beyond it being a late-run game or something? This is a third party title and it's a Player's Choice. There has to be an additional reason of why it's so rare. And since it's a dual-pack, I wouldn't consider this to be needed for a full set, so I have my doubts it's for full set collecting. I think many would be of the same opinion as me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonebone | 1,307 Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 That price is crazy already. I sold one maybe 2 years ago? Offered it to legit Gamecube collectors at the time and most of them were around $500 on it. Took an offer above that but nowhere near the current prices. I'm not yet convinced it is above and beyond the rarest of the 3 packs. I'd say Sonic Adventure is certainly the most common but Monkey Ball Duo is not easy either. All it takes it a bit of a drought and it will spike up too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t consider it to be for a set, but there are three Sega 2 packs and this is the most elusive one, no one knows why. It’s just impossible to find and people have spent years looking for it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All it takes it a bit of a drought and it will spike up too. I’m convinced it’s the rarest because there’s usually at least 1 or 2 of the sonic and monkey ball one at one time, but This is only the second duo pack I’ve ever seen for sale in my 6 years of GameCube collecting. Maybe I’m wrong, but it’s insanely hard to find either way for sure. I wish I could have been the one to buy it from you LOL I’d gladly pay a grand or more for it. But not the 3000 it’ll likely go for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoctorEncore | 3,690 Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 Thankfully I have no plans to collect variants for any system other than the NES. I'll just grab a copy of each game and save myself about $4000. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kind of wish I had got more into GC collecting than Saturn when I did. (Sorry Saturn fans.) Anyway, I checked in on the market last week, and I'm actually quite shocked at how many games are in the $30-40 range, and how much 1st party games goes for. I mean, I know everything goes through waves, but GC is legit expensive. I guess the GC was truly swamped by the PS2 and XBox. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I Completed my set last year, and Legit over like 100 games have doubled or tripled in price since I got them. There’s multiple sports and racing games I got 5-10 bucks that agave bids in the triple digits. It’s like everyone and their mother decided to start going for a full set all at once Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s the smart thing to do GameCube was the first home console (not handheld) that was mine and not my brothers so I have a lot of nostalgia for it, but holy shit I’m not touching GameCube collecting with a ten foot pole right now.

DarkTone | 984 Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 This wasnt released in PAL regions too was it? Because I would need to get this as well. I've never heard of this as the rarest game on the console. Interesting.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there were Activision, Ubisoft, and others for pal regions 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bowser | 598 Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 The real value is in the outer cardboard box right? Or do the game sleeves also have variations from the regular retail releases with Not For Resale logos? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, if it's legitimately rare then it's a really fun variant to hunt for. But this is pretty much just like the Rampage 2 Big Box for N64, or the Maximum Carnage set, or the Majora's Mask Adventure Set, or Gyromite Big Box. Though a more closer analogy would be the "Magexa 2 Pack" in Australia.....Or Super Mario Bros. / Duck Hunt if it were an R10. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
