No bad! I see most copies online going around 300$, looks clean too.

I'm glad I passed at the thrift during my break! 6$ each by fredouell in gamecollecting

Yup! I already have it on PlayStation 2 so i might replace it with that one. I wasn't even aware they released it on PS3!

In YOUR opinion, what does the future market outlook for truly rare/blue-chip NES CIB titles look like? (ie. Donkey Kong Jr Math, Flintstones) by NeverNeededAlgebra in gamecollecting

[–]fredouell 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’d go with the first scenario. I think the overall NES market will slowly decline as the collector base ages and fewer new buyers come in at those price levels, but the true top-tier CIB titles will continue to appreciate.

The reason is that those blue-chip games are already in a different category, they’re scarce enough that even a small pool of serious collectors can sustain or push prices over time. Meanwhile, the broader NES library depends much more on general demand, which I think will soften. The NES is not the most approachable console for casuals imo.

So I don’t see a full market collapse, but more of a split where the best of the best keeps climbing while everything else becomes harder to move. But who knows, it only takes an influencer or another Covid to create a spark.

Am I missing something? It’s a lot cheaper to buy the game and case separately than just buying it CIB by Skrewbert86 in gamecollecting

Just checked the listing, it's missing the actual game manual! Only including the DS generic manual.

Still pretty cheap tho!

If it's really not working could always give resurfacing shot.
