Bubble Bobble 2 and Earthbound Price Check

[Moo Cow]

What should I expect to pay for Bubble Bobble 2 (not Rainbow Island) and Earthbound complete and in pretty good condition?

A CIB Bubble Bobble 2 NES should readily fetch upwards of $200 (I'd give $225 for one, myself) if it's in halfway decent shape. Complete Earthbounds usually hit $120-$160, depending mainly on the condition of the guide and especially the outer box.

A copy of BB2 with the manual but no box just sold on eBay for $110, which I was amazed by, seeing as how cart only usually sells for $85-100. They both looked like they were in pretty good shape, too.

$200 - $250 is the going rate for BB2 complete

The cart alone can easily be sold for $125. Then $50 each for box and manual. $225 seems pretty decent.

ok, thanks people (I still don't see why anyone would pay that much....better start saving up my money...)

The last nice minty complete BB 2 that hit the market was Bronty's and hit over $400. I believe it ended at about $460? VERY rare box to find in good shape with no fading. A near mint box for BB2 is one of the rarest NES items to find. You can get a copy for probably $250 or so on ebay, but do not expect mint or near mint.

That's...way too much money for a video game.

I'm so mad at myself. When I had first seriously started collecting the local game store had Bubble Bobble 2 for $10. I told him that I thought it was kind of rare, he said yeah, but not really rare....

So I bought Bubble Bobble 1 since I only had $5. Came back the next day with $10 to get it and it was gone.
