What snes game its worth the most?

[rarecube]

Thank you...
Just wondering

[Nesmaster]

i dont know too much about snes, but im going to take a stab at megaman x3. the price of that game(loose) goes for at least $70 @_@

[Iron Draggon]

On ebay, it's a factory sealed Chrono Trigger, but I dunno about otherwise.

[Cauterize]

IMO... Super Mario Kart, its so amazingly rare.... never seen one or played one! i heard only 2 prototypes exist!!!!

hmm wait a minute.... oops!

nah isnt that Speed Racer with another Game on 1 cart hard to get? or what ever game it is

[Iron Draggon]

Oh yeah, that's right! I forgot about that one!

Speed Racer/Exertainment Mountain Bike Rally (2 in 1 cart)

[Qixmaster]

fun n' games. good luck.

[joshnickerson]

Probably the competition Star Fox and Competition Donkey Kong Country cartridges.

Try this:

Click on SNES, and iif you want to check, say... games with rarity higher than 7 and/or games that are valued higher than $25, you can enter those in on the right side.

It's so easy to get questions like this answered. I don't know any way to make the guide more accessible!

The power of laziness.

I find it irritating when I'm trying to sell or buy stuff and the prices are wayyyy skewed as well..

Joe with all due respects these guys need to use the database, but I be willing to bet any amount of money that Speed racer/mountain bike ralley is much rarer and more valuable than the competition carts. The comp carts are much more known than SR/MBR but it is by far rarer and the guide states the opposite.

[tritium]

LifeFitness Exertainment Lifecycle System is listed at $750 is this a typo int he database?

-Tritium

If it isn't it won!

The exercise bike goes for $1000-2000 used. Of course, you don't need a snes to make the bike work. The Exertainment Mountain Bike Rally/Speed Racer cart goes for upwards of $300. The competition carts go for that price as well.

[drummy]

Fun N Games is lower, however, at about 30, unless I got mine for a decent price. According to DP, only 2000 were made!

[richmond]

anyone know how rare the uk fun n games is?

[Cauterize]

anyone know how rare the uk fun n games is?

Well if it helps ive never ever ever ever seen one here in my years of hunting!

[Balloon Fight]

fun n' games. good luck.

-Josh

Exactly. This game is gonna be impossible to find in the near future.

And for the record the most expensive snes game (I'm saying loose here) would be either one of the competition carts.

[allsport11]

Not sure what the rarest SNES game is but I do have sealed mint condition Harvest Moon. Only R4 I think but usually goes for a pretty penny.

the excersise pike doesnt go for that much anymore. Ive seen new ones start at $750 and get no bids. Many websites wtill sell these brand new for 650-1000 bucks.

This is true! The guide really should list three seperate values for every game:

factory sealed
mint complete
loose cart only

Every other collector's guide that I know of lists it's values in a manner that's similar to this, but of course customized to fit all the particulars of the hobby. For example, all my Hot Wheels collector's guides list all their values like this:

mint car in mint package
mint car not in package
loose car other condition

So as a result, I have a much better idea of what to bid for Hot Wheels cars on ebay. Their values are even determined by factoring in the current ebay values, so you never get some fantasy-based value that will never buy you what you want in your dreams, as is the case with most prices in the guide.

This is why people are constantly asking "what's X worth?" here. Because even they know there's no way that some Goodwill bargain bin price is any indication of the true value of what they seek, especially factory sealed on ebay. If you use the guide as your scale, you'll never win a single auction that isn't cart only. That's the only thing it's really good for, as far as values go. I don't mean to knock it, but it's true. It's woefully inadequate for ebay.

Do we really need an ebay buyer's guide for video games? You bet we do. Because that's where most of us do all our buying and selling, so that's the values that we really need to know. The guide is great for those who do all their buying and selling at thrift stores and flea markets. But it's really almost useless for the rest of us. I look at all those values and wish they really were that cheap on ebay, or anywhere else online, for that matter. It's very sad.

So please do all us ebayer buyers a favor and add some realistic values for the stuff that we buy and sell every day. I'm sure that we can all help out with information about what we paid for X game, what we sold X game for, etc., and that's how all the other guides I know of determine the values they list. It's a very methodical process that takes everything into account. Seen in a store for X amount is factored in too. Then everything is averaged together. That's what makes the most popular guides become so widely accepted by the mainstream collectors and sellers in the hobby. Because those guides are based in reality, not fantasy. You know those values are accurate, because you know they were all arrived at by taking everything possible into account.

I see fun n games on ebay for 10 BIN.

What about Donkey Kong Competition?

[Famidrive-16]

Most I ever paid for a used SNES game was a complete Secret of Mana for $30. But I'm sure rarity wise, the carts listed above would soar in prices.

[D_N_G]

uk snes fun n games is around an r6

[Jorpho]

Did anyone ever try to clone the SNES interface for the Lifecycle, making it useable with other, less-outrageously-priced bikes? (I suppose it would only be worth it if the other prototype games for it could be dug up.)

[Barbarianoutkast85]

Does anyone have a screenshot of the lifecycle game? Well I rather see the exercise bike I dont know it just baffles my mind an exercise bike and a video game all wraped up into one giant burito.

[hydr0x]

This is true! The guide really should list three seperate values for every game:

factory sealed
mint complete
loose cart only



agreed, but i think there's no need for a factory sealed price, lose AND complete would be a good thing though, especially for the SNES section where you have NO idea what a complete one will cost if you look at the lose prices...

@Fun N Games UK

nah, that's not an R6, i'm not that far with the list to say how rare it exactly is, but max R5 imho

@most expensive game

either the triple competition cart that hasn't surfaced yet or that Military Training cart...

Triple Competition cart? and what games might be on that? Also The Military Training Cart, don't hold you breath for more news, but i'm talkin to someone that was involved around that training system, and i might be able to get a copy or two of that game/training programme? Like i said don't hold your breath, but if i work something out i'll post on the VG forum.

Also Pal-Uk Fun n' games, isn't mega rare, but it's not common either, i had the chance to pick-up a complete (pal) version a few weeks back and passed on it, i had already sent way to much. Plus i'm purely into the US snes!

I know it's taken a huge amount of time to make and compile, but when i'm after games i don't use the "R" rarity rating much. And to be honest, it gets alittle boring, when people post threads sayin, i got my first R7 or R8 today..

Plus with the amount of collectors, surely the R4's in time will become R5's and so on, and so on, thats alittle part of the reason why i don't really use it that much, if at all! :/

(My 2 cents / half a penny in the UK LOL)

Why do you say there's no need for factory sealed prices? That's ALL I buy! And the only way I have any clue what to bid is by how often or how rarely they turn up in that condition, so that's the one value that I need the most!

[Ed Oscuro]

:smash:

That's all I've got to say about that LOL

[dracula]

just curious about fire emblem thracia for the super famicom. I have one (loose), actually i just paid $61 for it today on evilbay. I figure if it stinks, I can always resell it on ebay for that price.

Oh it is not in the the rarity guide, it is supposed to be pretty rare, there is a limited edition version on ebay for $300 but that is a bit too rich for my blood.

[hydr0x]

@predator

the cart is an SNESP Aging Cassette, which in fact means Nintendo uses/used them to test if your SNES unit is working like it should, it first tests all the chips on the board and gives you an ok or error (with code sometimes) and if it passes those it will run a 110s slideshow in which you can see Mode7, Sprite, Backgrounds and so on effects

oh and no use searching for a rom of it, it's dumped (by me) but only 3-4 people own it and it doesn't pass the tests anyway (no emu does)

@iron draggon

sorry accept it or not, you are a very small minority and there is no such thing as a GOOD price on sealed items, sealed items go for whatever someone is willing to pay at that moment, you just can't predict that

@dracula

well, i know a store in Tokyo who has Thracia (not sure if it's the LE) on the shelf for ~$130, used but in perfect shape and resealed

i'd like to have that one as it was the last SFC cart, but too expensive for me :( (i've got one of the last 5 games though)

[Mayhem]

Got the limited complete Thracia 776 myself... think I paid $150 for it. It's very nice actually... the limited edition comes on one of those writeable memory cartridges btw. The non-limited version comes in the normal artwork box release.

[hydr0x]

then it was the normal version that the store had, mhhh is it really called LE somewhere on the box?

[EnemyZero]

i think he just meant games, and in that case id say chrono trigger

[Azazel]

First of all sealed values go up and down so much that is hard to get an accurate price for them. If a few people greatly overpay for a sealed item does that mean your going to overpay for it as well? I would hope not but I've known people who have done it. I still see no point in people that only buy factory sealed stuff. For stuff for newer systems if you wait a year or so you could get the same item for about $15.00 or so on average. With stuff on older systems finding stuff sealed is so much harder and there's a good chance you'll never find it or you pay a much higher price for it. If I take your Policenauts for an example. I could of bought a used one as well as maybe 3 or 4 more games for the price that you payed for a sealed one. The only time I've ever had sealed stuff is when it didn't cost me more than what it would cost to get it used.

I think probably having 3 sectrion would work out best. Prices for a complete mint, price for a complete one with some wear, and a price for loose items.

[Ed Oscuro]

Yeah, if we all went by factory sealed prices, then only super common popular or super hyped games are worth anything, of course =P

Like Azael said. Sealed game prices are VERY volatile; you almost have to go on a case-by-case basis, especially for fanboy favorites like the Final Fantasies etc (I think paying what some of these folks pay for a sealed Final Fantasy game would DEFINITELY have the effect of ending the month's purchases for good and done!) while many rare games aren't worth even $10 over complete if sealed.

[MegaDrive20XX]

Im gonna throw in Dracula X complete <-- fetches a good price of $75 usually

or Mega Man X3 <--$85

Hell even Mega Man 7 is starting to rise
