Sorry for bad quality.

EDIT if the GBA is not considered classic yet I'm sorry

[Shadow Kisuragi]

Final Fantasy VI's box is worth something. The rest aren't worth all that much.
There isn't much on GBA that has a ton of value.

Not Classic Gaming.

Also moved to What's it Worth

[Urzu402]

Well looking at rarityguide.com I don't know how accurate they are but it seems the Minish Cap and the Classic Series Legend of Zelda boxes are worth a bit too. According to them CIB Minish Cap is 51 dollars and CIB Classic Series Legend of Zelda is 44. Also according to them Pokemon Ruby is 50 and emerald is 49 CIB but too bad i gave my Ruby to a friend :( Sapphire it says is 40.

[Shadow Kisuragi]

Rarityguide.com is trash, plain and simple.

[Urzu402]

Is there any Site for GBA games that is accurate?

[Urzu402]

Pricing is for New/Used. It's almost impossible to objectively pull auctions and ensure they're complete or not, especially when people don't know what complete is.

Thirded.

I have never seen a site distort such things in my life. They're worth visiting for a chuckle or two, though.

[wingzrow]

Final fantasy 6 goes for $50+ complete, so the box is worth something. Though gameboy advance games n general have really flimsy boxes, so finding ANY for a decent game should be something you can appreciate.

[Urzu402]

As you can see in my Pictures my FF6 GBA box is in near perfect condition same with all my other boxes. some are a little squished though.

[mobiusclimber]

Minish Cap & the Pokemon boxes do add value, obviously. I don't think boxes sell for too much by themselves, but a CIB game goes way up in value compared to cart only (on desirable titles, of course).

[Urzu402]

So how much exactly is my FF6 Advance worth? I just basically got it as a gift I took the shrink wrap off, opened the top and took out the game and left the inserts alone. I looked on Ebay but I can't find a listing for one as complete as mine. though I didn't go through the completed listings. also I hate looking up GBA games on Ebay so many fakes.

[BetaWolf47]

Final Fantasy VI is worth $60 CIB? Shit, if I had known that I wouldn't have opened that sealed copy I found last year for $10!

Uh, near perfect same as all my others and some are a little squished are not the same thing.

[carlcarlson]

Seriously. I can't believe people are still asking these questions. Rarity/price guides are ridiculous, just look up the damn game on ebay completed listings.

[Urzu402]

I mean they are so little Squished its hardly noticeable but some do have slight creases in the flaps so I guess I was wrong in saying they were all near perfect.

Ebay completely sucks for GBA games because of all the fakes. Its sickening really. Especially sucks for popular games such as the Final Fantasies

Why are there different guides and values for collectors and retailers?

[Shadow Kisuragi]

I believe the retailer one allows you to lookup items by UPC. I'm not sure though, as I haven't used it nor know of any retailers that use it.

Just look at the completed auctions that have real pictures and not stock photos.

[Urzu402]

Even though they have pictures some are still fake even with pictures. though like I said I cant find a FF6 advance thats as complete as mine is without it being new even in the completed listings. Like this listing for example:

http://cgi.ebay.com/Final-Fantasy-IV-and-VI-advance-GBA-/180510420941?cmd=ViewItem&pt=Video_Games_Games&hash=item2a07426fcd

they are fake unless some other country uses the ESRB. And I don't think the seller or buyer knew.

[mobiusclimber]

*facepalm* Those are obviously pirates, as are 99.9% of GBA pirates. That's why you need a real pic, to tell if it's fake or not. Look at those games. You can tell right off the bat they are fake b/c those are not what the labels for those games look like. Most pirate games will use a really distorted pic from the box as the pic for the label, others get a bit creative, but most of the time they do not look anything like the actual cartridge. Also, usually, GBA pirates are cart-only. So they have no bearing on what you're looking for.

[Urzu402]

Heres a better picture of all the game boxes instead of that video.

Yea but like its been said, its hard finding a GBA game that is truly complete on Ebay to gauge prices from

[mobiusclimber]

The Zelda Oracle box is worth more than your other Zelda boxes, definitely. Mario & Luigi is worth a little bit too.

In your case do a search like this "Final Fantasy VI Complete" it should help weed out bootlegs, I also like to narrow a search for GBA games to US only (goodbye to all the bootlegs shipped from China).

they are fake unless some other country uses the ESRB. And I don't think the seller or buyer knew.so difficult. i searched "final fantasy VI advance complete" and came up with this for the first option:

http://cgi.ebay.com/Final-Fantasy-VI-Game-Boy-Advance-COMPLETE-CIB-GBA-/200477441753?cmd=ViewItem&pt=Video_Games_Games&hash=item2ead62fed9

40 bucks seems about right to me.

[Urzu402]

You failed to mention thats the only one that came up, One listing is impossible to tell a price from, you need multiple listings to do an average from. At least thats what I thought.
