What's the highest price you paid for a NES game/acces.?

[NESaholic]

Highest i ever went was €310 for pal M82,i got a feeling this year i might brake my record!
What about you people?

[NintendoMan]

Welp, for a sealed NES game it was a sealed GOLD ZELDA for $135.
Complete perfect mint copy of Final Fantasy - $30.
Highest price paid for NES merchandise, Playchoice 10 dual monitor -$500 and Playchoice 10 countertop version -$550.

[Dire 51]

I don't believe I've ever paid higher than $50 for an NES game, and that was back when they were still being made.

[hydr0x]

other than the games i bought new back then i guess nothing went over 5 bucks per (complete) game, well, not right, hah, Zelda did cost me 8 bucks...

[hydr0x]

damn, i lied LOL

most expensive was of course Action 52 (Sealed) for what? 12 bucks i think

[NESaholic]

Playchoice 10 dual monitor -$500 and Playchoice 10 countertop version -$550.
@_@ That rocks man,i'd like me one of those too,mega worth it.
Good deals on the sealed games,Zelda and for the Action52,12 bucks is mega nice! I traded mine with only comic missing for 2 smb3 carts.

[fergojisan]

Probably between $40-$50, back when they were still making them. I don't think I've paid more than $10 since I started collecting. That will change soon, though, if I keep it up. O_O

[Simply Dave]

I paid $54.99 for Tecmo Super Bowl when it first came out.

It was worth every damn penny, too. :rocker:

[Ruudos]

Around 300 DM for a complete Miracle Piano set.

[long_shawn_silver]

$75 is the most I have spent on a game for NES on the aftermarket. I think Dragon Warrior 1 & FF 1 where both about 79 or 89 dollar titles when the first came out an dI got them both first day 8-)

[NintendoMan]

Playchoice 10 dual monitor -$500 and Playchoice 10 countertop version -$550.
@_@ That rocks man,i'd like me one of those too,mega worth it.

YES THEY DO ROCK! I once had a snigle montor version of the PC10 as well, so I once owned all 3 at once!

[Master Chu]

$100 for a black Secret Scout unfortunately...

I was just beginning collecting at the time, and the value was overstated to me by more than one source. Bah, that's wut i get for being a newbe... LOL

F**k i'm jeaulous now! :roll:
Guess i have to keep my eyes open and check the net alot cause it really needs to get in my collection.

[Xantan the Foul]

Probably no more than $40 for DW4 (since my parents bought me my first NES as a kid, and my ex-girlfriend just gave me my top loading one).

[gepeto]

dragon warrior 4 60.00

[leonk]

150$US for a minty nice copy of an NTFS2 cart from Jason Wilson.
~60$US for a complete copy of stackem
~50$US for a complete Tengen Tetris

and the price falls.

As far as accessories, ~110$US for a complete, brand new, still sealed top loader. This thing still has the registration card attached to the back of the box, and came with the original sales receipt (including the guys credit card number on it!) LOL

I lucked out with the top loader because he put it up as a 1 liner on eBay a couple years back with no picture. :D

[Nesmaster]

$54 for a boxed little samson

[imanerd0011]

$100 for a black Secret Scout unfortunately...

I was just beginning collecting at the time, and the value was overstated to me by more than one source. Bah, that's wut i get for being a newbe... LOL

Don't feel too bad, I spent $50 on Secret Scout as well. Other than that I spend $60 on Flintstones Suprise at Dinosaur Peak, $40 on Dragon Warrior 4.

[Link_Chrono]

I bought Zelda II, Boxed (Ok-ish condition) for £25... Realised afterwards that I could've got it alot cheaper if I had just looked around more >.<

I'm new to collecting, so i'll know not to make the same mistake again though.

[Matt-El]

Of recent, I remember Paying $10 for a
Complete Gold Legend of Zelda game. I should've actually
Bought the whole system she was offering. It would have been
30 or 35 bucks for this:

Nes system w/ 2 controllers, a/c, rf switch
Super Mario 3 (complete)
Super Mario 2 (loose)
Xevious (loose)
and another game. Plus the aformentioned Zelda.

[D_N_G]

Top 5:

230 complete us stadium events
150 complete menace beach (i know)
125 sealed caltron
120 complete myriad
110 Complete Game Action Replay

A few more over 100 and im also in the secret scout club

[Dr. Morbis]

The most I ever payed for a single game was $150 for a sealed Caltron. However one time I won an auction by a rental store in BC on eBay with 10 complete NES games for $180. That sounds like a lot, but three of the games were: Secret Scout, Menace Beach, and Flintstones 2, all complete!

My biggest ripoffs were paying $100 for a complete Tengen Tetris in summer of 2000 when I was still a collecting 'noob'. And the one that hurts the most: I missed an eBay auction with a BIN of $80 for a complete Myriad 6 in 1. I even got to the "confirm your purchase" page when someone else bid cancelling the BIN. I couldn't have missed it by more than 5 seconds, as I have a broadband connection. Dammmmn...

[briguy578]

Highest price paid for NES merchandise, Playchoice 10 dual monitor -$500 and Playchoice 10 countertop version -$550.

Sniff, I found a Playchoice 10 at a garage sale once, and it was in perfect working order, but I had no way to get it home [and no place to put it] That was a very painful day :(

Most I've spent at one time was when I bought a lot of 60 NES games off ebay for $115. Next highest was a box of 40 NES games I found at a garage sale for $20 :D

[NintendoMan]

Playchoice 10 dual monitor -$500 and Playchoice 10 countertop version -$550.

Yep, just check out ebay or any kind of auctions in your area. Of course you know they can get kinda pricey, but they are WELL WORTH THE MONEY! The big machcines are a bitch to move around though. LOL

Yeah, I was lucky that i had my girlfriends truck to use to pick all of them up! It was so perfect, he had a dually pickup, with a PADDED interior of his bed, with one of those back camper top shells over that. So I was also safe if it rained. Got all the machines home in perfect shape.
I had to drive 4 hours one way, 12 hours one way, and 6 hours one way to pick all 3 of them up. (Of course these were all different days when I did it)

[Arqueologia_Digital]

$ 20 (pesos) for a Zelda (Gold) in box without manual... :/...yeah, i was crazy...

[Balloon Fight]

My max so far for NES games has been about $50. I've paid $50 for a complete Dragon Warrior 4, and $50 for Flintstones: Surprise at Dino Peak.

[dougman999]

I remember paying $54.99 for TMNT III back when they were still being produced, and around 45-50 for a power glove.

Now, since i've been collecting, $19.95 for Maxi 15 and $33 + Trolls on treasure island for leonk to make me an Earthbound cart.

[Dangerboy]

$250 for a complete in box with poster and all baggies Stack-Up, mint.

I sort of read "Buy it Now" as "Bid on it Now"

9_9

Still haven't played it.

[Aussie2B]

I didn't do any NES shopping when it was new, so everything has been pretty cheap for me. My toploader was the single most expensive thing I've bought (at about $55 shipped), but excluding systems, the most I've paid was probably for Maniac Mansion for about $12 total off of eBay. The funny thing was that it was one of my very first eBay puchases way back when, and I'm guessing the seller wasn't very eBay-experienced either because I received the game before I even sent my payment. o_O

[Jumpman Jr.]

65$ for a Copy of Flinstones 2....
that was yesterday LOL

[NintendoMan]

65$ for a Copy of Flinstones 2....

Wo, it that worth that much?? Didn't know if it really is worth that much$$!

[NintendoMan]

$250 for a complete in box with poster and all baggies Stack-Up, mint.

Now that's sweet!!!

[PentiumMMX]

I spent $7 on Ninja Gaiden.

That's all

[Cobra Commander]

I once spent $40 for Final Fantasy complete and all that. Technically, it was $80, but my friend with me had $40 in store credit and he knew I wanted that game badly.
Looking back, I regret doing that. I wouldn't pay that much ever again.

[cracked8ball]

$16 for Zombie Nation on ebay. In my 9 years of collecting I had never seen one in the wild, and they are very rare to come by even on ebay. It's worth it as it's a fun game.

[Tatsu]

The most expensive games are the ones I bought new back when the NES was new. The original price was about 80 - 100 Fr. It's the same price that cost the new PS2 games nowadays...

Back then there weren't any store selling used games. At least not in my area. So it was very special when I got a new games since my mom or other people had to buy them for me.

I've also bought some used games over Ebay in the last years. I guess the most expensive ones were about 30 Fr. including P&P. But I don't have any real rare games so that explaines why I didn't have to pay that much.

[8bitnes]

I paid $54.99 for Tecmo Super Bowl when it first came out.

It was worth every damn penny, too. :rocker:

Beyond worth every penny. I have to have accumulated enough hours of play time on that game to amount for 3 months of life.

As for my biggest NES related purchases, I've cracked the $800 mark on 4 separate occassions. One for arcade machines. The other 3 were buying out people's entire collections.

Single game would have to be my Stadium Events that I bought just this Monday.

[Leroy]

About $40 for Little Samson, worth every dollar.

Of course, my friend found one complete at a Movie Trading Company for $1 and didn't even know its value. Ended up selling it as part of his entire 400 cart collection.

[Speedy_NES]

I usually end up finding sweet deals for most of the rare stuff, but here are my spending peaks:

Accessories: 250 US$ Disk System (back in '97 or '98; newbie mistake)
Consoles: 150 US$ Game Axe Color (in early 2000; on eBay, didn't know they were available elsewhere for cheaper :()
Games: 155 US$ for a 500-in-1 multicart (back in '97 or '98; newbie mistake ;))

I consider Famicom as part of the NES, which is why the items above are Famicom-related. In a way, they were all spending errors from my earlier collecting days. Nowadays I have a much better accuracy for value, and will only buy items if I can get a good deal on them, unless it's something I really want (joysticks/accessories for example).

-Speedy

[Slimedog]

My NES collection isn't that great. My biggest single item was $12 for a complete Heroes of the Lance. Of course, I'm always more likely to buy 5 common games over 1 rare one anyway.

[MarioAllStar2600]

$400 for a boxed Bubble Bath Babes. Funny thing is, that's definatly not my rarest NES item, just most expensive.... but the other stuff I got at CGE auctions, and the BBB was off ebay.

[briskbc]

I paid $29.99 CAD for a complete Final Fantasy about 7 years ago. That was more than I wanted to pay but I really didn't mind.

[qbertandernie]

$19 for complete hillsfar...early on at funcoland

i bought 5 unused ACGI games....for $60. no roms, no chips, no screws. cant play em. just the shells and boards. for $60...

$34 for pyramid prototype

then complete megamans at around $15 each, though i passed on #3

[MegaManFan]

$400 for a boxed Bubble Bath Babes. Funny thing is, that's definatly not my rarest NES item, just most expensive.... but the other stuff I got at CGE auctions, and the BBB was off ebay.

I'm impressed; I paid $400 for a loose one and that was on eBay too.

[NiNtEnDoNuT1983]

$265 for my NES Uforce demonstration cart...

http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d26/NintendoNut1983/000_0019.jpg

[agent709]

Eh... $2 for a complete Michael Andretti's World GP. :/

[Jumpman Jr.]

Haven't posted in this thread for a while, and my answer has changed from then anyways:

$185 (I think thats what it was) for a copy of Caltron 6-in-1

[Damaniel]

I haven't paid more than about $50 for a single NES game; I spent about that much for a complete, minty copy of Fire 'N Ice. I've managed to get lucky on some of my more pricey games -- my Caltron 6-in-1 was only $20 (still my best find to date), and Little Samson was another in the wild find for me (and $3, at that). :)

[jajaja]

Dont remember if I answered before, but it would be around $300 for a complete Mr. Gimmick. It is alot I know, but the feeling when I got it was great! Especialy to see the back of the box :)
Besides, it might had been my only chance to get a complete copy too. I havnt seen a complete copy for sale on Ebay after I bought it and that is many months ago.

[hobbes13]

When I first started collecting, I paid 17.99 for a cart-only Final Fantasy at Gamestop

[Blitzwing256]

250$ for a Zanac (my favorate game) prototype

[Dr. Zombie]

For some reason, I paid $25 for a loose copy of Dragon Warrior about a year ago. O_O

[christhegamer]

Tengen Tetris- $31.00 :frustrated:

[DigitalSpace]

$5 for a loose Castlevania II. I didn't have an NES or any games until December, though.

[Fighter17]

250$ for a Zanac (my favorate game) prototype

Do you have photos of it? I'm a Zanac (and a Compile) fan in general. :)



Around 300 DM for a complete Miracle Piano set.

My friend got his complete Miracle Piano set off eBay for about $99. The best part was he donated his Piano for the Classic Gaming Expo 2004 (or 2005) in the museum section (in the NES area of course ;)).

[Blitzwing256]

http://www.green-ranger.com/nes/finds/zanacproto.jpg

i'm just waiting on my copynes to come in the mail so I can dump it and about 10 other protos.

[Bleetness]

Lol, The most I payed was 10$ For a nes systems, 2 control, hook ups, boxed mario 1 2 and gold zelda, and cart top gun ice hockey and super contra.

[jajaja]

Did he get the USA or european version for $99 ? I guess the 300 DM (deutsch mark) is for the european version (maybe?). $99 for a complete copy is still a great price! :)

I have never seen a european version for sale :( I have the PAL-B cart, but not the hardware. Anyone have the european hardware? :)

[googlefest1]

the most i ever paid for a nes game was 40$ for a complete dragon warrior 2 and 4

next after that was 14$ for a romance of the 3 kingdoms 2

[Fighter17]

He has the complete US set. ;)

[jajaja]

Ok :) I still want one lol. Seems like a cool piece of hardware.

[Slate]

Well, as for the most expensive, it sure was pretty cheap and good.

$20 all at once for 68 Unique NES games.

Next down are..

$10 for a Complete NES Power Set (Plus 4 other games, two complete, one boxed, one loose)

$10 for two common NES games (Although fun to play) - Roadblasters and Wrecking crew.

Anything else is under $10. Including my other boxed NES.

[Speedy_NES]

I have never seen a european version for sale :( I have the PAL-B cart, but not the hardware. Anyone have the european hardware? :)

The EU set was on sale on eBay not too long ago, went for I think 150 euro and was missing a couple of things. It did come with two cartridges, which I would assume were the PAL-A and PAL-B versions of the software.

Pretty rare piece to find here in Europe tho ;)

[starsoldier1]

I gradly gave up a lot of money for my NES collection:

NES 2 Top Loader $100
Bubble Bobble Part 2 Complete $130
CastleVania Complete $5
Dragon Warrior IV $50
Final Fantasy Complete with maps $10
Tengen Tetris $5

I near complete NES collection.... priceless!

[Quickclaw]

$16 for Bubble Bobble. Worth every cent, since it's become one of my favorites.

[vintagegamecrazy]

think the secret scouts are bad trythis

Action 52 and maxi 15 for $70 each
Tengen Tetris $60 when it was selling for a ton still in 2000
Dragon Warrior IV boxed 49.99

I can't complain as I paid $15 for my Caltron to make up for the losses of the previous games.

[Canadian Psycho]

Last month when I paid $105 for Dragon Warrior 2, 3 and 4 (cart only, except DW II w/ manual).

[cyberfluxor]

Not a big spender here... $10 for a used Kirby's Adventure. I played the hell out of it that night and completed over 80%. The most expensive accessory was $5 for the mat so I could play Track & Field awhile back. I still need that exercise game thing. :)

[cavein2000]

18 for Bubble Bobble
16 for Rainbow Islands
12 for Simon's Quest complete in box.
10 for Kirby's Adventure complete in box
All of these came in sweet condition - gotta have a good eye.

These are all recent purchases. I do a lot of watching and everything but sometimes you have to find the auction that has good pictures and a good seller on ebay. It's too often where you get blurry pics with a lack of description and then get turds and a rental sticker attached to your sweet NES title.

[wrldstrman]

Well it seems a few people must be keeping a low profile or arent members because ive seen a lot of games go on ebay for mega bucks. I admit I paid 500.00 dollars for my copy of stadium events..but ive seen many copies of it go for well over 500.00. ive also seen copies of caltron 6 in 1 go for close to 300.00, boxed flintstones go for close to 300.00 and the paninesians go for some pretty high prices not to mention the last few nintendo world championship carts....so im not the only insane person who paid a lot for a single game.

[johno590]

I guess the most I spent on any game was Mario Bros 3 for 5 dollars, which was way before I started collecting. I bought a NES system from my friend, which came with a few games, and I wanted Mario 3, so I bought it off ebay.

The most expensive accessory would have to be I guess 3 dollars for the Konami LaserScope, which I've never used, since I don't have the game to play it with.

[jcheatle]

Well, it'd be 40-50 for the games when I was younger and they were new. Most were birthday or Christmas presents, but ones I remember buying for myself with hard-earned (for a 12 year old) money were RBI Baseball 3, Tecmo NBA Basketball and of course, Tecmo Super Bowl. Woot.

Since then, though? I think I spent 10 on Arkanoid and Bubble Bobble when I bought those a few years back at Funcoland. Come to think of it, I bought a sealed Aladdin off Ebay back about 99 or 2000 for 40 bucks, so that'd be it.

[jajaja]

Ah.. you know what it was missing? If it was missing some nessessary parts 150 is alot, but still cool :) Which country was it sold from?

[Niku-Sama]

$60 for MegaMan 5 last summer.

it was the last one i needed, i coudlnt find it any where else, the guy lost the box and manual for it so he gave me manuals to other megaman games i didnt have and i i think a megaman 4 box, i cant rember.
