Its rare enough that it is hard to find outside of ebay. Not rare enough that anyone really notices when it does come for sale on ebay.

the guide says sqoon is worth $7 and satdium events is worth $275. I think that means they're on the same rarity level.

Keyword spamming. Might be legit under eBay rules since he only made a single comparison, but still keyword spamming.

Sqoon's hard to find outside of eBay? Hm...maybe I should pick up that one that's been sitting at a local video game store since the day it opened for, like, $3...

I cant disagree this one is hard to find outside of ebay... Ive only seen one copy ever, and bought it instantly :D
conclusion: Rare outside of ebay, but doesnt really mean it fetches huge $$$. Im sure the box and manual are 20x harder to find...

I am surprised he didn't use Etler's list to say Sqoon is rarer than Stadium Events.

Meh, I think I saw it at GameStop a couple years ago and passed on it. I ain't crying over it. Now if it was Stadium Events that I passed over...

It is a harder to find game. I picked up a copy outside of ebay once, only one I ever ran across. Found Panic Restaurant at same table. And some Tiny Toons games. Not saught after, but definitely a hard game to track down.

Probably true. I can tell you from experience that a sealed copy is practically impossible.

He did\does, I emailed him VIA the ask seller a Q thing and he actually tried to tell me that Sqoon was more rare than Stadium Events.
I can almost imagine the look on the seller's face when it sells for almost nothing.

I needed the money bad so i started looking for games to sell. I was torn between my copies of Stadium Events and Sqoon. I WAS gonna sell Stadium Events until i found out that Sqoon is RARER so now im gonna sell that... LOL

Hm...Sqoon with the box (at least)? (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=62054&item=8201653891&rd=1&ssPageName=WDVW) I may look into this one...

This is the reply I got from emailing him asking about the Sqoon VS Stadium Events idea or rarity\price, and I quote:
I go by Mike Etler's Rarity list http://www.videogameconnections.com/nesrare.txt
I NEVER said it was worth as much as Stadium Events, but according to that website, it is shown to me as being just as RARE as Stadium Events is. Even at that, after looking again, Stadium Events is actually shown as a "B" rarity, not the "A-" I gave it credit for in my auction description. I do not know what your problem is, but if you do not want to bid, you do not have to, I am not forcing you to. I do not like people accusing me of doing anything wrong when I have not, I simply added Stadium Events to my title to draw a little attention to Sqoon, since Stadium Events is searched for more often than Sqoon is I'm sure, which Sqoon deserves to be better known about since it is a Rare game and people should know about it. There is nothing wrong with that, and if you feel I am wrong, then you have not studied marketing and how to draw attention to your product. Large corporations do this type of marketing EVERYDAY such as "compare our product to _______". They use a big name corporation (and my case a big name game) to draw attention to their product since theirs is hardly known about at all.
What a loser LOL LOL
Now let's see if he has a copy of Micro Machines. ;)
