I just got this a couple days ago, and mikesides has one similar, as does one of the local retro game shops, but neither of us have seen this one exactly. He wants it, and I need to recoup some of the dough I dropped getting it, so we agreed to defer to DP on the value. So please help us both out here!

The differences we (he) noted from the other locker: The SMB3 graphics aren't on either of the others we've seen, and the others also had hinges, were the top of this one has two clasps, and is removable entirely. Thanks in advance!

I have that same one, except the left and right side graphics are on opposite sides for some reason. Besides those sides being reversed, mine looks the same. I can't help with value as I got lucky and found mine cheap, but I'm pretty sure these chests go for around $50 or so or at least did the last time I tried looking up value.

Edit: Okay, I'm looking this stuff up on ebay and it seems the value went up a bit with these designs. Even with the Super Mario 3 graphics they seem to all be random and assembled differently.

Thanks Gameguy! I looked for it on Ebay, but with all the stuff I picked up at the same time as this, I didn't beat my head against the wall of keywords. That's not a bad price, either way, imo.
