So, it is already over $2,000 with over 2 days left, which is not bad, at less than $10 a game!

What do you think these are worth individually, on average? I didn't see any stadium events or anything in the list, but it is still very impressive. I'd guess $30 per game would be very fair, but that is a complete guess. Comments?

(by the way, this is NOT my auction. I just was impressed by it.)

i bought 2 of these and sold 1 to someone in brazil for $70. its not a big seller since there are tons of copies of RE4 left on the shelves still. but my other copy had a boxcut in the middle, i didnt like it very much so i sold it. then i found another copy just a month ago for $25 but unsealed but the game and everything else is.. i dont think i'd be selling any 'cube games for awhile since its still pretty much out there and nobody is really paying more than $70 to $80 for a sealed copy. even ikaruga ended not even $80 the other night.

£82.00 for a factory sealed Metroid II: Return Of Samus for the GameBoy, complete with red Nintendo tear strip! Surely a very sought after item!
uh, very nice

One more in the collection
I'll just add... Metroid II would've been considerably cheaper had someone not decided to place a bid at the last moment... No worries though. Not going to name any names!
Name him!
I have to say that I maybe also had place a bid....also in the case that someone who I know had already bid on the item.
I always bid in the last 15 seconds before the auction ends. When someone bid already on the item I cant be sure that HE will get it.
Furthermore it's kind of weird: I bid on every sealed game 1 Euro and nobody of you can bid no more???

I will always bid for games that I WANT and that I NEED for my collection....no matter who place already a bid.
A friend is selling metroid II with french blister http://cgi.ebay.fr/Jeu-Game-Boy-Metroid-II-Return-of-Samus-Neuf_W0QQitemZ270187945034QQihZ017QQcategoryZ132624QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
He bought it around 8 or 9€ on ebay, because the seller's announce was without keywords. He got 2 metroid, i'm trying to trade one with him ;d

Nice!

It does state that the version is French though, so perhaps there would be less damand for a French-only version of the game outside of France. The version I have is English (For the UK market), but would probably attract bidders from other countries in the EU, as well as America, Australia, and Japan etc - Whilst a French version would only really be collectable in France and / or Canada mainly

Actually, the biggest auction that I saw of nes games was won by vintagevgs (the seller of the 247 games) He won an auction for 1400 factory sealed nes games + 12 new systems if I remember. $15,000 dollars shipped.

I would like to add, that EVERY game was in absolute mint condition. I bought a few for the buyer
omfg ... and all were perfect factory sealed?
wasn't the seller in hawaii ?
I remember of a huge sealed games auction like two years ago, round 800 sealed nes games that wen't for 10k bucks I think.

Ah, I distinctively remember that auction too, and read about it on DigitalPress.
Yes the auction was from Hawaii. July of 2005.
I believe there were 380 something unique titles. (Pics are not showing up for me)

Not sealed,but interesting though..$4050 used mint copy...Dan Maresca had a steal paying $3000 his factory sealed one then
Back then when I was a kid and playing the good ol NES, I had this game... It was fun to play like the series 1. My mother sold this stuff when I told her that I am no longer playing with it due to the fact I was playing with my new Mega Drive.

Craps.

Nice, but the US version will never be as impressive as the PAL package, with the wonderful slipcase and cover artwork
