Caltron 6 in 1 CIB

[evilernLe]

I just found a complete Caltron 6 in 1 at a pawn shop. Needless, to say, I'm stoked.

The cart has a rental sticker with some tape, but is in overall good condition. The manual and cart sleeve are in excellent condition as well. The box, on the other hand, isn't in the best shape. It's slightly faded, has clear tape around it and a rental sticker.

Back when I collected NES games, I knew this went for a relatively heft amount. Now though, after checking prices and updated information, I'm not quite sure.

So, what's a consensus on a worth of this game in the given condition?

Thanks.

I sold a loose Caltron 12 months ago for $150 shipped. Was mint other than a weird white discolored spot on the label about the size of a penny.

I'd say the manual is the most valuable item in the set since the box and cart aren't in good shape. I guess $400 for the set?

[Parodius Duh!]

theres quite a few of these on ebay at hefty sums and they have not moved for a while. Still worth a bit, considering its condition.

These were going for nearly $1000 2 years ago, and then the discovery of several PAL version copies in Spain plus the discovery of several sealed NTSC copies in Mexico killed the price. Norkusa is about right, I think...you'd probably get $400 or so, maybe $450 tops at open auction for this nowadays.

A sealed, mint copy from a US seller just ended without bids for $450. This one has really seemed to drop since those sealed copies came out of Mexico. Without he questionnaire and in the condition that it's in, I'd bet $300 would be tough to get right about now. Maybe in a few months if the market dries up again you could get more, but that's about what I'd guess now.

Edit: Forgot the "4" in $450

Indiana Jones taught me that you need to bury it in the sand for a thousand years and it then becomes priceless so do that.
