Kialan Posted April 9, 2004 Share Posted April 9, 2004 It's also funny how the game description is for Super Mario 64. "Power stars" and "paintings" mm hmm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisbid Posted April 9, 2004 Share Posted April 9, 2004 the box and docs are nice, and it isn't the combo SMB/DH cart, but still... all i have to say to that is fishsticks and french fries Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vintagegamer89 Posted April 9, 2004 Share Posted April 9, 2004 It helps to check your facts before you put something on Ebay. I wish I knew where this guy lived so I could walk over and explain to him how saturated the market is with this cart. All I can say in my closing statements is ......."WTF!?!?!!?"

CSIXTY4 Posted April 9, 2004 Share Posted April 9, 2004 That's actually eBay's description of the iteem. They offer stock item descriptions so you don't have to come up with something yourself. If you enter the UPC this guy used, you get the Super Mario Bros. box with the description. From my experience, this is a common problem, and the reason I don't bother with eBay's descriptions. It's not that difficult to come up with a paragraph or two describing something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8bit4life Posted April 9, 2004 Share Posted April 9, 2004 yeah yeah, everybody and their grandma has a copy of that caqrt, but when was the last time you saw an SMB MIB like that? I dont think its worth $100, but you'd be hard pressed to find another one with the box... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raijin Z Posted April 9, 2004 Share Posted April 9, 2004 Box or no, it's still not valuable by any stretch of the imagination. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8bit4life Posted April 9, 2004 Share Posted April 9, 2004 Raijin Z, your dead wrong if you are insinuating that the box/manual dont add to the value of the item. its definately a more collectible item w/them... need proof? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raijin Z Posted April 9, 2004 Share Posted April 9, 2004 Stop now, before I take a road trip to beat you to death with my precolumbian figures and crate of boxed Transformers. The roll of toilet paper than fell into my bathroom sink and dried into a useless paper brick is more valuable than Super Mario Brothers 1.

Cootster Posted April 10, 2004 Share Posted April 10, 2004 Did the pack-ins for the NES even have boxes? I don't remember that . . . And when did the system not come w/ the gun and the combo cart? I thought that was a launch item . . . In fact, I'm not sure if I've ever even seen one of these . . . Are they more or less common than the 3-in-1 w/ the track and field game . . .

jhd Posted April 10, 2004 Share Posted April 10, 2004 Are they more or less common than the 3-in-1 w/ the track and field game . . . I've never actively searched for NES games, but I have never seen the 3-in-1 cartridge, while the SMB/DH carts are common as dirt. The thrift shop I was in earlier today had 3 on the shelf!

Yes the deal used to be when Mario Bros. came out that you bought the core Nintendo console and you get Mario bros. in the box for free. No Duck hunt or Zapper. The Action pack which came out around 1988-89 included the Mario/Duck Hunt cart and the red zapper. I could be off on my years by a couple though. Actually I believe when the NES first came out in 1985 it came with Gyromite and the ROB robot...if I'm not mistaken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogueleader Posted April 10, 2004 Share Posted April 10, 2004 that guy boosted his bids,a new bidder bid like 9 times looks fishy to mewm2003 Well probably not. If you do a bidder search you can find everything he has bid on won/ not won. He has a serious thing for Nintendo, but they are all different sellers.

Mr_8bit_16bit Posted April 10, 2004 Share Posted April 10, 2004 I don't know, with complete box, instructions and misc, that might give it a bit of rarity, but not $100 worth, that's for sure... I'd like to have it in box. for maybe $10, 15 tops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saikyo Posted April 10, 2004 Share Posted April 10, 2004 Yeah sure collectors may still want it with the box like 8bit4life said but still it is very common and i dont just mean the cart either man how many boxes i have seen for that!

8bit4life Posted April 10, 2004 Share Posted April 10, 2004 right right right... the only point that im trying to make is that games are more valuable and collectible when they are complete w/box & insert. In most occasions the price for a boxed title is considerably more than that of its loose counterpart... granted the market is saturated w copies of SMB (i have about 75 copies myself that i have no idea what to do with), but since it is, and always will be, a good game and a significant peice of videogame history, its always gonna have some collectible value when you find it MIB. You can check around ebay, it consistantly gets bid up at least over $10 when its in that condition... its like comparing an old beat up loose He-Man action figure to a mint carded 8-back version of the same figure... ones worth nothing, the other's worth a few hundred... whats the difference? the figures the same, its just a lot harded to come by a vintage carded action figure than it is to find the loose version thats been in your closet for 20 years...

Jasoco Posted April 11, 2004 Share Posted April 11, 2004 yeah yeah, everybody and their grandma has a copy of that caqrt, but when was the last time you saw an SMB MIB like that? I dont think its worth $100, but you'd be hard pressed to find another one with the box...I have all three SMB games in box with instructions and sleeves and styrofoam. All in MUCH better thape than both those auctions. And I got the SMB for $.29... CENTS. It's not that hard to find. And no one was pressing me hard when I found that one. $100.. I can't believe the sheer stupidity of some people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not for the SMB/DH combo you didn't. It just didn't come with one. The games were sold separately with boxes, but not in a boxed combo.

donkeykong1 Posted April 11, 2004 Share Posted April 11, 2004 I second Jasoco on that. I know for a fact that it did not come with a box. And to get back to SMB that ain't worth shit. I use those boxes for packaging items I ship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
