Rare items that are NOT rare!!!

First up is this auction, which you can find pretty much anywhere, and in some cases even find them in the garbage

I too am fed up with seeing "Rare" in the auction titles, almost always it is something that you can usually find for free or for $0.10 - $0.50.

 

That is an excellent example, I usually see alot of "Rare" Pac-Man, E.T., and Combat games.. I will usually skip any auction I find if it says "Rare".

 

If anyone is interested in the NES game Mario Bros. / Duck Hunt save your $7.50 (Or $17.50 for Buy It Now) and I will send you one of mine for free, just pay shipping.

 

I did find a game while thrifiting recently it happened to be Mario Bros. / Duck Hunt for the NES. It was at Goodwill and they wanted $1.50, I passed on it.

this is what i was talking about!!

 

i did see a boxed duck hunt with a buy it now of 99$ last summer!

 

i got my boxed smb single for like 4 bucks

 

15 bucks for a game that came with 40 MILLION systems. please

i wrote this guy (or girl) last night about how the foam brick that comes with nes games was more valuable than that game, and that is at best a buck but realisically about 25 cents

 

he replied like he was some kid with :

 

"dude, dont want it dont bid it"

 

somehow how though the item mysteriously dissapears!!!! hmmmm

 

i feel like i won something today !!

 

 

 

but is this an indicator of an invasion on people trying to cash in to a riduculos amount (more than there already is of course!)

What foam Brick?

[AtariKen64]

in each nes game theres a small foam brick in the box to keep the cartridge elevated so its easy to grab out of the box

 

why not make its 1/2 inch shorter? beats me

I bought these up at Funcoland a few years ago at 9 cents each. I figure at 9 cents, I can't go wrong. Someone will pay me 25 cents at a garage sale or something. I laugh when I see common games for sale like these, but there are the common games with boxes, and though they may be more common, I still find getting boxes a little tougher. Flame them all you want. They don't deserve to be putting "Rare" in the title. Most people don't even know what they are doing.

There's only one thing more common and worthless than SMB carts and that's AOL cd's.
