Topic name says it all. The rarity list is broken and I can't figure it out for a complete copy of the game.

I sold a loose copy that was in good shape on Ebay four months ago for $25 + ship, so I imagine a complete copy would sell for around twice that.
If you are looking for the 'official' DP price though, my DP Advance Edition guide says it's $15/R4 loose.

VGC magazine lists a complete copy for $30.
If you are looking to buy one, you will probably pay much more than that though. This seems to be one of those games that the guides are wrong about the value.

Some of the store-scalpers on evilBay regularly ask $100+ for it. If you can get it for less than $50.. it's considered a steal (complete). Nobody would probably pay $100 for it here in these forums.. but if you listed it on eBay and were willing to set on it for awhile (and I MEAN awhile) it would eventually sell. A complete copy of Metal Warriors falls into the exact same category (games not related).
On a side note.. I decided to dig up my old PC CD-ROM copy of Metal Marines Master Edition the other night and see if it ran on my current machine. Worked just fine in W98SE. It doesn't even install to the hard disk! Runs off the CD drive entirely! Much better version IMHO. Although I could never part with either copy (I have PC and SNES copies); if you would miss the game.. I'd say sell it for top dollar and then take 1/4 of your money and buy the Master Edition on eB.. where it pops up occasionally.

You can do price checks in the Antiques Roadshow thread stickied at the top.
