I have a guy who sold me a Mr. Gimmick PAL NES game for $200 on ebay. Now I havent seen a Mr. Gimmick game in forever so i really do not know the going price for one of these babies. Its a cart only but flawless. I figure if a Flintstones 2 goes for an average $120, I figured a Mr. Gimmick for $200 is gold!


p.s. I am new here so I am unsure if this is considerd reguar discussion or ebay talk? Sorry about the double post in both boards, but its great to be apart of this great community!

I hear that people pay well over $200 for gimmick consoles these days, so a Mr. Gimmick should be worth at least that much, 'specially if it makes coffee or is a dual-purpose fusion reactor.

Well, it is listed as an R7 worth $80 by our DP guide, but I think that price is somewhat outdated. I would say it is worth roughly $150 or so. $200 seems a bit steep though, and you will be lucky to get that for it.

The last couple I've seen on eBay went for $80-$100 cart-only.

How long ago did you see them? I have done some search now and then and havnt seen one for sale for a long time.
Id say Mr. Gimmick is worth close to $200.
Its one of the coolest NES games and have one of the best soundtracks :)

I have a auto-search on eBay whenever one shows up.. it HAS been a while now that I think about it, but I've saw about 6 of them go last year if I recall correctly.

I figured it was hard enough to get most PAL games on U.S. ebay... Figured A rare PAL game like gimmick would be much harder. I wonder why there isnt alot more people in the U.S. selling PAL games... well aside from the fact you would have to get the games outside the U.S.
