NINTENDO game and watch

[charitycasegreg]

I have a few of these. On ebay most of them go for a lot of money without the box, even more with the box. I was just wondering how much these cost back when they came out? were they sealed or just boxed? Info please!

When I have basic questions like that I use Google.

First hit.

Between that, and this thread, you should be good.

why waste my time searching google for 3 minutes when I could have somebody else waste theirs? ;) Thanks!

Some of those collections are really, really nice. I wonder what they are worth all together.

I have 3 game and watches which I spent a total of $25 on. They all still have their serial numbers but oil panic is missing its battery cover. OIL PANIC, DONKEY KONG, and ZELDA.

The Zelda box is so cool. But yea those collections are insanely cool looking.

So did this Mario Game and Watch come in this box? I have never seen the box before, but want that G&W so bad.

yes that is the complete version of it.

damn, those guys have amazing G&W collections. I know where one is in my town in its box and battery cover for 50 bucks... (about what it sells for on ebay). I am sorta tempted to go and buy it now... I don't think it will be jumping off the shelves there anytime soon

I want that disk guy G&W sooo bad. Would go very well with my disk hand case. :)

I have a few of these. They used to be so much fun when i was little. Had a bunch of them. now I only have "Gold Cliff", "Zelda", "DK Jr." & "Vs. Boxing" (thats the 2 player one with the retractable controllers).

People pay WAY too much for these, but that are pretty cool looking.

People pay WAY too much for these

Exactly. Especially when you consider these things were sold EVERYWHERE. I mean worldwide in every 2-bit immigrant electronic store imaginable. The majority of the game and watches are so far from rare... but inexplicably, they just go for so much when sold these days it seems. :hmm:

Luckily I still have pretty much all of mine that I had when I was a kid :D A little worn sure, but all still playable. If I recall correctly they sold new for about 20-35 bucks (to the person who asked that above). I think I recall a game like Donkey Kong selling for about $35 at a local watch shop.
