My Find of the year!! And I need your help!

[icarwngs55]

Ok well early this year I got Snatcher for Sega CD for $4 so that was pretty good...but I like these better. :)

So I got all of this for a total of $50. I have no idea where the guy got it, he said it was just nintendo junk and accessories...I saw the few test carts and bought it immediately.

So my question with this is two fold. One LOOK AT THE NES CART...it is gray, I thought the only gray cart was the NTF-2. Secondly, Look at the one SNES cart it has purple writing...somthing I have never seen on another test cart, or for that matter another test cart labeled like this one is. And a final question What are those black round things in the accessory pile I have no clue. What I do know is there are 4 original gameboy screens, 3 Pocket screens, 3 Color screens, 2 replacement power buttons, a game genie (not pictured), 10 toaster NES flaps, 2 SNES internal port casings, and those black circles which I have no clue on.

My second find in the same day almost made me cry. 16 N64 demos and an N64 w/ 2 controllers!! I will hold off on saying the price as I am going to sell some of the games. SO HERE IS A PIC!!

So Please take a look...enjoy. And help me sort this out a bit...tell me what you all think!!

nice haul man,where did you find all that?if you don't mind sharing.

[Austin]

Holy damn. @_@ The test carts are an amazing find alone.

I'm as jealous as can be. I love seeing finds like this.

[Videogamerdaryll]

Holy Shit..Awesome find!!!

[alec006]

Whoa nice finds,GB replacement screens come in handy

[Mattiekrome]

Wow man, seeing that almost makes me sick to my stomach @_@

Nice haul, I might have had a heart attack had I come across those N64 demos, so I'm guessing these are going up for sale sometime? :D

[Vectorman0]

I believe that the black things in the accessory pile are N64 feet. Anyway, I can't remember the last time I was so jealous. Nice find.

[Vectorman0]

I almost forgot. There was someone offering $100 for a Diddy Kong NFR cart in the B&S forums very recently. They aren't all worth that much though. Besides the zelda ones, most can be had for less than $20 on ebay.

[evil_genius]

OMG!!!

Nes toaster flaps! I hate you right now!

[Goblin]

Outstanding!

[Trade-N-Games]

I have that Gameboy test deal and super nintendo test cart at my store and I use them almost everyday with trade- ins.
Not one store in st louis uses something like that it saves me lots of time and money. Cool find!

[CYRiX]

Jealous!
:angry:

[icarwngs55]

Just so you guys all know, I am NOT selling any of the test carts as of now....and NINE of the SIXTEEN N64 demos WILL be for sale very soon

Mike

[donkeykong1]

That's an awesome find. :o
Congrats.

[Lothars]

Awesome finds, especially the test carts

but damn I also really like all those 64 games :D

very nice finds

[Sothy]

Fuck you.

In a very very sour grapes jealous way ....

[Ed Oscuro]

That N64 doesn't look like a regular one.

Price...? LOL

[CosmicMonkey]

So these Test Carts, I assume they just run a system check to make sure that the console is working fine, and the pads/buttons are working fine, yes? Any screens of one in action, please?

[shaggy]

Wow!!! What an awesome find! You suck!! How do you know those N64 games are demo carts? Also, like the post above me says what do the test carts do? And do you have any pictures of one in action? :)

[Mr.FoodMonster]

Wow!!! What an awesome find! You suck!! How do you know those N64 games are demo carts? Also, like the post above me says what do the test carts do? And do you have any pictures of one in action? :)
They all have a little rectangle that says 'Not For Resale' on them. You can only see them on the bottom couple, but they all look the same anyways.

But yeah, awesome find.

[rbudrick]

Awesome score dude! Congrats. Very interesting stuff...just awesome.

I haven't seen a score this good since...well, my last big Nintendo score, which makes the envy a lot easier to take, heh heh. LOL

-Rob

[Jumpman Jr.]

Thats freaking insane! Those N64 games alone are worth $50, let alone them being 'Not for Resale' +all the other stuff
congrats!

[Joker T]

Holy crap, congratulations on the find.

[jdchess]

Nice haul man. I have a crapload of similar stuff that I picked when I bought out a couple of authorized Nintendo repair centers...bunch of console parts for NES, SNES, and N64, PC Boards for all three systems, sound processors, controller parts, and even some brand new console shells for all three.

Anyway...nice haul.

[tholly]

i dont care that this isnt suppose to have its own post.....that is an AMAZING FIND!!!


Congrats!!!!!!!!!!!

[joshnickerson]

HOLY CRAP! X_x

That's one HELL of a good find! Congrats!

Be sure to hold onto that grey Zelda cart.

[InsaneDavid]

Wow!!! What an awesome find! You suck!! How do you know those N64 games are demo carts? Also, like the post above me says what do the test carts do? And do you have any pictures of one in action? :)

As well as a "Property of Nintendo, STORE # ______" sticker on the back of each. Not sure if that's EXACTLY what it says as I sold my N64 kiosk carts years ago.

[EricRyan34]

How much are those Nintendo test carts worth roughly?

[SegaAges]

u r a very lucky person, and i am probably not alone when i say, please let me know when the carts are for sale, as that find is so cool, that i want to touch it (like cartman style after he saw the terrance and phillip movie). i wouldn't mind snagging a game

either way, that find is so insane that it is awesome. nice find man

[jdchess]

How much are those Nintendo test carts worth roughly?

Hard to say really...have seen them go for as little as $50 not listed very well and as much as $400 - $500+. Just depends on the time when you are trying to sell one I suppose. Seems like most go in the $200 - $300 range.

[icarwngs55]

Sorry to bump this old topic!

Any of those who were interested in some of these demos check out the buying and selling forum, they are now listed there!

Mike

[LinkNZ]

Looking at those N64 games all together like that makes me miss cartridges. :(

[Chronodriftersx]

Hey icarwngs can you tell me does the WWF game have a not for resale on the front or is it sort of akin to how Mario Party is?

[icarwngs55]

Nope. Mario Party 1 and WWF were simply kiosk carts with "Demo: Not for resale" sticker on the back. They never had true kiosk carts with "not for resale" on the front. I looked into it alot and it seems stickers were as close as you could get to a real demo cart.

Wow, that was a pretty good deal ;)

I see, I see... how lucky you are!

[Zing]

I like how the SNES test cart says "cassette".

[icarwngs55]

Yea, I have never seen two of these test carts anywhere else over the years. And I have seen a lot of pics.
Any help would be awesome

Mike

[ahamilton0953]

ok dumb question, but, Why was the Zelda in gold? I have a N64 Zelda game in the gold instead of gray and I was wondering what the deal was with it and if it has any extra value to it.

[icarwngs55]

The first releases of the Zelda Games were in gold for the N64. Later ones were grey. That is the only difference. Value of Grey may even be less (not as limited?)

Mike

[ahamilton0953]

thanks. I wasn't sure if it was more of a collectors item or not. I'm still new to this kind of thing, so I'm working my way through things.
