Jinks Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 eBay Auction -- Item Number: 200799530519 is this a scam??? Or a boxed 7800 mario bros worth $300.00¿? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bennybingo Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 not a scam...not that rare either. The seller has a "make offer" option. I would peg this one at around $30.00 CIB (and I may be guilty of being generous here). If it is factory sealed, add about $5 to $10.

GM1982 Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Mario Bros seems to be quite rare. I've been searching a CIB one for months on ebay (I have already a loose cart) at a moderate price. 300 $ is definitely not a reasonable price. I wouldn't pay more than 20 euros for a CIB one in good shape. A guy on ebay France is selling the cart (PAL version) separately from the box : http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?ff3=4&pub=5574883395&toolid=10001&campid=5336500554&customid=&mpre=http%3A%2F%2Fcgi.ebay.fr%2FBoite-du-jeu-Mario-Bros-sur-Atari-7800-juste-la-boite-%2F261081189001%3Fpt%3DFR_Jeux_Vid%25C3%25A9o%26hash%3Ditem3cc9a6ca89%23ht_735wt_946 http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?ff3=4&pub=5574883395&toolid=10001&campid=5336500554&customid=&mpre=http%3A%2F%2Fcgi.ebay.fr%2Fcartouche-de-Jeu-pour-console-Atari-7800-Mario-Bros-%2F261079248468%3Fpt%3DFR_Jeux_Vid%25C3%25A9o%26hash%3Ditem3cc9892e54%23ht_677wt_946 He happens to live barely 30 km from my home. But I hate this kind of seller : he will not get my money ! What's the point of selling things separately ? But if you are interested, he seems to sell all his games separately from their boxes, and shipment is free to anywhere in the world. Edit : actually it's only free towards France.

mmervine Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 I bought a new copy from Best for $25! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purduecrum Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Supply and demand... The Mario Brothers name has inflated cart prices on both the 2600 and 7800. I haven't had a lot of success finding rare carts in the wild, but Mario Brothers seems to pop up on a regular basis. I'm more than happy to pick them up and flip them on feeBay when I get a chance.

+Gemintronic Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Wouldn't be surprised if we see a Hozer original Super Mario Clone for $1000 soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
