What's the highest price you've seen for an SMB/Duck Hunt?

[DigitalSpace]

As all of you know, SMB/Duck Hunt is one of the most common game carts out there (if not the most! LOL ) That being said, it's obviously extremely easy to find one on the cheap - in fact, I've heard stories about the big chains GIVING AWAY SMB/DH carts at one point!

But every now and then, and it's happened to all of us - we'll run across an overly expensive one. Maybe it will have a price tag with four digits, and you'll have to keep yourself from laughing as you think "they're NEVER going to sell this."

So tell us, what's the highest price you've seen for an SMB/DH cart in the wild?

Personally, my experience isn't too exciting - I've seen one or two priced at $10 on separate occasions, and that's about it.

[pineapplehead2]

Theres one at the store now where I buy NES games well since i was last there and its 12 dollars, and been there for months.

[Nesmaster]

probably $10, but ive seen a few on ebay, after shipping, go for like $14

[christianscott27]

this one woman with a game store around here intentionally seperates and marks up ALL games with mario in the title. super mario 2 for $10, SNES mario all stars for $20 and *gasp* mario 64 for $25...but oddly enough her non mario games are priced more or less reasonably. everybody knows that mario is the most popular nintendo character but what they do with that knowledge is hard to figure. you'd think when she filled up yet another shoe box with super marios it would hit her how common it is, nope to her its just proof of how popular/desireable it is.

[Cleatis]

I saw SMB/DH for $12 at Game Crazy last week.

[maxlords]

I've seen it for $19.99 before as a "collector's item" .

[izret101]

Maxlords wins i think. The highest i have seen them for was $7.99 at this place in the mall.
And there were 5 of them right next to eachother. Torn labels, gouged carts and all. LOL

[DDCecil]

My Highest is 4.99

I swear if I ever open my own store, I'm going to have a basket with free Combats, Odyssey2 Cryptologics, and of course SMB/DH. If you need one, take one (or all). Kind of like the give-a-penny/take-a-penny thing at stores.

[MarioAllStar2600]

One of our thrift stores sell there games for either 2.99,4.99, or 7.99. No clue who coses the prces but SMB/DH is 7.99.

[imanerd0011]

There is a ratty ass flea market near me that is selling all his games for $10, which includes 2 or 3 Super mario/Duckhunts. One time he was telling me how rare all NES games are, and especially the Mario games. I was like "yeah , ok buddy". LOL

[Muscelli]

true story, i saw it at a flea market for 30... the guy said to me that it was rare and i was crazy not to buy it

[Emily]

Ive seen a couple around here for $20.Oooooh the rareness

[Crush Crawfish]

$8.99 at a thrift store.

[Raedon]

over the years I think the highest I've seen it priced was $7 at a pawn..

[Nez]

I think games Plus over here was selling them at $25. There gone now I wonder why? LOL

[Damon Plus]

25 euros. That makes about 32$. Seriously. And the guy that worked was saying to another guy that Nintendo was selling the Classic series by too much money O_O

[Gemini-Phoenix]

And I thought this was one of the rarest games out there??? Learn something new everyday! Lol!

[KJN]

That's nothing, I know a shop that charges at least 4oo swedish kronor but usually more for nes games (common stuff like Super Mario). Due to the low dollar and higher prices over here that's $60 (and that's still less than what non-budget new consol releases costs over here). There is another store that have lower prices though, about 149sek ($22) - 250sek ($37) for lose nes games.

[Garry Silljo]

I'll sell mine for $1,000.000.87 . There, do I win?
Furthermore, ...., any takers?

[Negative FX]

I have seen a starting bid on one for $30 on eBay. I don't think anyone ever bid on it.

[nesgamer]

I'll sell mine for $1,000.000.87 . There, do I win?
Furthermore, ...., any takers?

If you really were selling it for that much, and some retard bought it. I'd personally go to his house and beat the shit out of him for being so stupid. LOL

[Grim_Reaper_Bostock]

I'll sell mine for $1,000.000.87 . There, do I win?

Why 87 cents?

[spoon]

9.99 loose
15.00 complete.

Cheapest-.25 loose.

Same thing a city from me, a guy sells his nes games for $10, I said "Ill take these, (I meant the whole basket for $10, I thought thats what he meant) and he was like they are $10 each, and I just gave him the weirdest look and walked away. Where do you live imanerd?

[charitycasegreg]

9.99 loose

I have never seen a mario/duckhunt with a box... I would end it at that, but I dont wanna be a dick on new years eve... I think you are thinking of just super mario bros. without duckhunt.

[DigitalSpace]

Cheapest-.25 loose.

I think that's the cheapest I've seen it as well.

[SoulBlazer]

Anyone remember the old Funcoland catalogs? At one time they had it listed in there for ten cents. LOL

[DigitalSpace]

Bumping this for the newer members and those who missed it the first time around.

On another note, I wonder if DDCecil is doing this now that he does have his own store...

[atari_wizard]

5.99 at a thrift store. A pawn shop down the road has it for $5.00. The funny thing is, people still will pay 5 to 10 bucks for these titles, just to relive a moment of their childhood. Yikes!

[Arasoi]

I saw it for 24 dollars once at a seedy local game shop.

[exit]

I remember asking the owner of this old CD trader that used to be by my house about NES games they had, he told me that they had plent of SM/DH and not much of anything else.

Man I miss that place...

[Skyone]

Damn I've only seen it high as $1.00

[The Shawn]

The local goodwills around here have all gone way up on any video games since I started collecting.ANY video game you can find is at least 4.95 including SMB/DH.Really sucks too. :(

[PSerge]

Highest priced SMB/DH I've seen was like $10.. Some crazy guy at a flea market... $10 a game no matter what... Crazy...... Average price I see is $1 - 2...

[ROBOTNIK666]

7 bucks at a thrift store.

[Hounder]

I think around $15 is the highest I've seen it. I saw a mario/tetris/world cup cart for $32 on ebay recently @_@ That game is just as common over in Europe as SMB/DH is here in the states (well, almost)!

[odyeiop]

I'll sell mine for $1,000.000.87 . There, do I win?

Cheap shipping perhaps?

[TisLord]

I too have seen it for $30 at a hole in the wall flea market. Same place had pac-man for atari for $15.00

[aaronpetrosky]

$8 at Goodwill.

[Adol]

I've seen it for $49.99 or so,brand new,back in the 80s :)

[van_halen]

SMB/DH $19.99 BIN (http://cgi.ebay.com/RARE-Super-Mario-Bros-Duck-Hunt-NES-Nintendo-Classic_W0QQitemZ104750516361QQihZ020QQcategoryZ62 053QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem)

[aaronpetrosky]

Wow that $19.99 one must be to so high to pay for all the pictures and seller fees.

[§ Gideon §]

Lowest/Highest SMB/DH prices:
Brick and mortar: $0.29 (Funcoland); $5.99 (Mom 'n' Pop store at the mall)
Flea market: $0 (as a throw-in) or $1.00 (from a 1-buck bin); $3.00 (in a 3-buck bin)

[Blitzwing256]

I remeber back when funco was at its peek, there was a fairly large one near me, and they had tons of mario/duck hunts.
they had them for 9 cents each,

I asked the guy behind the counter how many he had..(i could see about 50 behind the counter) he said about 40 or so more then was out on the floor,

I bought them.


ALL


I got some very strange looks that day.
when we were driving away I was going through the bag checking out the label varients (there were more then you'd think) and any with damaged labels or some kid's name on them..I flung them out the window (yeah stupid times)

for months i had all the remaining ones stacked on my shelf, till a very very very bored day where a firend and I took a bunch out to the backyard and played a new game called mario/duckhunt/baseball. It was about as much fun as it sounds. we had a bat and a sword and many a cart were skewered that day.

my parents were PISSED a few days later when they saw all the plastic chunks in the yard ;-)

but thats my totally random story about the death of many mario duckhunt carts.

[Arasoi]

That. Is. Awesome. LOL

[Kitsune Sniper]

I think around $15 is the highest I've seen it. I saw a mario/tetris/world cup cart for $32 on ebay recently @_@ That game is just as common over in Europe as SMB/DH is here in the states (well, almost)!

Maybe, but the European carts won't work in NTSC NES systems. :P

I think a lady wanted me to pay $10 because "it's got two games!". She also wanted $50 for Mario All-Stars. "It's got FIVE Mario titles! I'm selling it cheap!" Yeah, right lady. I never bought anything off her again. :P

[Damaniel]

My Highest is 4.99

I swear if I ever open my own store, I'm going to have a basket with free Combats, Odyssey2 Cryptologics, and of course SMB/DH. If you need one, take one (or all). Kind of like the give-a-penny/take-a-penny thing at stores.

So now that you have opened your own store, have you set up the free commons basket yet? LOL

The most expensive I've seen a SMB/DH selling for was $10 at a local pawn shop, and I've seen them as cheap as a quarter. The only thing that game stores have in common about SMB/DH is the sheer number of copies they have on hand. It's as if Nintendo made two copies of that game for every NES console.... :)

[bangtango]

If anyone was interested in a change of subject for this thread........

When was the last time you actually paid for a copy of Mario/Duck Hunt? I would be talking mainly about a store purchase. So fess up. How recently have some of you actually bought a copy of this?

Getting it in a huge lot of NES games or as a throw-in does not count.

Buying it with 2-3 other games: Yes.
Getting it in a box of 15-20 (or more) games: No.
Buying 10-20 copies of Mario/Duck Hunt in bulk: No.

I will actually be buying it within the next 1-2 weeks, since a friend gave me the NEX Messiah as a gift. I'd long ago sold off my NES and don't even have Mario/Duck Hunt anymore since it was sold off with the NES.

I've never paid for a copy of SMB/DH, but I paid $1 each for separate copies of Super Mario Brothers and Duck Hunt (does that count? :)) My copy came from a friend that gave me about 50 NES games taking up space in his closet.

[Doom Gaze]

Some woman at my local games store prices everything "popular" really high, so it goes for 15 dollars.

Strangely, most of the other stuff in there is fairly decent, such as $10 Saturn games. I even saw Shining Force III for 10 dollars.

Of course, back before Gamestop/Babbages/EB/Funcoland/Software Etc. all sucked they had a ton of them for .29 cents.

How I miss those days, when it wasn't a bitch to find games for consoles that weren't overpriced garbage. (I just don't care about PS2 games, okay.)

I think any Nintendo cart (whatever rarity) deserves a better fate than that... :(

[evil_genius]

i think i am gonna start collecting smb/dh carts

[aaronpetrosky]

I always got it for free from friends or in lots. Honestly never paid for one.

[cyberfluxor]

Nothing more fun than interacting with your games in a physical way! The other week my friend got well over 100 Genesis games for $15, all are sports except a few that I salvaged out the bunch. Tonight, for example, we got some use out of them by means of shooting BBs through the fronts. They are really nice targets because the face is weak, so if you can hit the cover label you're GTG. I also got a bit bored and slammed a few NBA and NFL carts into the concrete breaking it's case everywhere. I may end up trying to salvage a few carts and sell them on eBay and see if someone will buy them. LOL

>>Forsees:
"Selling LOT über RARE 15 sports GEN! L@@K"

I bought one last December for 25 cents. I had just acquired an NES the month before (it was the first NES I've owned since the mid 90s, when I sold off the one I had as a kid) and it didn't come with any games.
