I've updated my price guide for loose Famicom carts on Ebay. You can see how much every game has sold for on average over each of the past two years (including shipping), and how many copies as well. Enjoy!

Looks like I'm responsible for the prices on Plasma Ball and RPG Game of Life. :D
(don't know why I bought Plasma Ball (though it was almost certainly bought with combined shipping), but I was kind of interested in RPG Jinsei, and that was the only copy I've seen)
I don't remember if the lone Super Chinese 3 purchase was mine.

This list is really interesting. I'm curious, how do you analyze the data ? Do you go through every single auction yourself or do you use an automated process ?
In any case, this is really great, awesome work !!! It looks like prices have been going up slightly in one year, and wowww, 22 Punch Out Gold sold !

I just go through the completed auctions manually, although I don't click on most of them.

Amazing how Captain Saver isn't on that list. Must really not appear often loose...

I remember an auction that had three or four FC carts in it, Captain Saver being one of them. That listing went for around $60 I think. The other 3 games weren't anything pricey. This was months ago so I no longer have a copy of the listing saved, and no the auction title did not name the games so finding it now would be quite difficult..

Only $31 eh? Hmm I wonder if it's the same one or not, I don't remember Stick Hunter being in the set.

A couple years ago I bought Captain Saver CIB from GameBaz for abour $40.

And GameBaz prices usually aren't cheap.

(they still have the game listed, but the price has gone up to around $60 last I checked)

Let me guess. Archimendes Gradius was a sushi-sumo listing? His prices are kind of high, so I don't buy much.

$54 for Kage? And I had passed that game up for $10 legit (I know there's bootlegs up).

Someone paid $40 for Little Mermaid?
$36 for Mother, loose? I thought that was about the CIB value.
Don Doko Don 2 could've been mine (one of my few sushi-sumo purchases, and it's got his .88 ending, but I thought I paid under $30)
Surprised to see Donald Land up there a couple times. When I bought mine, it was an under $10 game.

But I guess many of these are people who aren't really checking around?
