OldSchoolRetroGamer Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Yeah all offers expired or declined, the seller is dreaming........... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+FujiSkunk Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Donkey Kong is pretty rare for the NES, especially the cartridge that doesn't pair it with Donkey Kong Junior. A factory-sealed box will drive the price up even more. I could see this going for three figures, four figures even. Six? Not so much.

number six Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Good god.. i had Donkey Kong on nintendo, bought it new for $20. Think I traded it away when I got the classics version later. This is just somebody being silly hoping for a crazy offer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toptenmaterial Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 I had DK jr on it's own. I thought DK was common... but come to think of it, I've never come across the cart! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari_Bill Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 He does explain that the 6 figure number is just for show to prevent someone from buying it. He's really only looking for offers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassGuitari Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 ...is it really worth this much or even in the thousands? Absolutely not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cebus Capucinis Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 Don't worry, once he gets it VGA graded it'll be back on sale on eBay.... .....for a $500,000 BIN. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see DK carts for ~$15 on a very regular basis, with boxed versions sitting around $35. I'm talking about the black label cart specifically. The orange label cart is usually about $5.

Lentzquest Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 This listing seems pretty fair. He even explains that he's trying to feel out the value based on offers he receives. Sometimes it's really tough to gauge what the value of something you have is if they don't surface often, especially if it's in such great condition.

+FujiSkunk Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 Really? I see DK carts for ~$15 on a very regular basis, with boxed versions sitting around $35. I'm talking about the black label cart specifically. The orange label cart is usually about $5. The factory seal is what would drive the price up. I should mention I think this could sell for four figures, if you found the right buyer who wanted it really, really badly. It would be a low four-figure number, to be sure. Three figures is much more realistic. And yeah, I get that the guy doesn't really think he'll get $175,000 for it, but the listing still smacks of "HAI L@@K WUT I GOT!" But maybe that's not how he meant it, so, okay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draikar Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 I would think Donkey Kong math would be worth more, but that game was kinda disappointing as a kid or even now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
number six Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 This is the sort of thing I just don't understand. I like collecting games because I like the history, the nostalgia.. but most of all I like to play them. I understand wanting CIB games. There's a few classics I have tracked down CIB just to have well.. a complete copy. I can somewhat see the attraction of the sealed games as it's like having something mint / new, but you certainly can't play it or even look at it really (other than the box). Then there's the whole grading thing which to me is insane. But what really blows my mind here is that you can get a fully restored original Donkey Kong arcade machine for under $2,000 all day long. You can get just a working nice Donkey Kong for around $500. Why in the hell would you pay thousands for the Nintendo game then? I dunno.. I guess i'll never understand that aspect of collecting. I wouldn't pay more than $20 for a sealed Donkey Kong NES, which is what I paid back in 1988 or whenever. It's no longer the version you want to play anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lentzquest Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 Does anybody actually buy VGA rated games? I've seen countless collection pics/videos and I don't remember a single one with VGA sealed stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't think a VGA rated copy of Echo the Dolphin 2 is worth $35k? eBay Auction -- Item Number: 200822108438 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen countless collection pics/videos and I don't remember a single one with VGA sealed stuff. I never would. It's a travesty to seal up something and slap a grade on it. Ruined the sports card hobby, ruined the comic hobby, now trying to ruin the game hobby. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
