    Default "Not for Resale" Sonic the Hedgehog

    Just as the title implies, I'm looking for a price check on this item. I found it bundled with a lot of 5 other Genesis titles for $8 total, so I figured why not?

    Probably around a dollar. It WAS bundled with the system.

    Interesting note, the "NOT FOR RESALE" part is a sticker on both the box and cartridge, so I guess if you carefully peeled it off, you could maybe get two dollars for it...

    Say what? I've only seen copies with the Not For Resale bit as part of the label.

    Theres two different versions of this. But to answer the OP question: both are worthless, which equates to 50 cents in todays market. For some reason Genesis "not for resale" carts never took off in price the way Snes carts did. I hope those 5 other games weren't sports/commons. Otherwise you overpaid.

    Checked my copy again, it's completely removable on the cart and removable on the box if you check under the plastic.

    Maybe that one was caught in between runs?

    I'd say 50 cents - $1 cart only, and maybe up to $2-$3 complete.

    This wasn't the SMB/DH of the Genesis (that would be Sonic 2), but it's close.

    Check out the new N64 Rumble Pak. See how it feels to feel what you see.

    I also think it has to do with the fact the Genesis does not have the favoritism momentum like any of the Nintendo systems have.

    Actually, I didn't even buy the lot, though I was leaning toward it. None of the other games were sports titles, though I don't remember what they were.

    I know next to nothing about the Genesis or other Sega systems, so I had no idea the cart was quite so common.

    Pack in carts are rarely ever worth anything. Only the Demo/NRF carts are worth something (SNES, N64, DS ect). Stuff thats bundled in with systems are big sellers and normally worth less than the regular releases.
    Because it makes no attempt to be great, it is therefore extremely great.
