    Default Some finds I made in March...

    Haven't taken pics yet, but in March I got a copy of Donkey Kong Classics for the NES. The box barely has any creases, and it still has the original plastic to hold the cart and everything. It also still has the manual, a Nintendo Power brochure, and one of those Now You're Playing With Power posters. Also, I got a copy of Dr. Mario with the box. The cart and manual are perfect, but the box had some tape around the top that I successfully removed without damaging anything. Both games have slipcovers and their original foam blocks. So, how much is it now, and how much in 10 years?
    This space is a call to the world - how come two containers of winning can be as much as one Xbox 360 game? How is this possible, world?

    I would price the DK classics at around $10-$15, and the Dr. Mario between $8-$12. I would expect the price to increase very little over the next ten years as they're both extremely common.

    They're great titles that are worth hanging onto regardless though!

    Agree with everything BP said, except I think the current value is a little lower on both.

    Value in 10 years will be half or even less of the current value.

    "Investing" in any video games is a terrible idea.

    I highly recommend investing in complete Genesis sports games...

    ...if you're crazy.

    Considering you could buy the entire line up of Genesis sports titles for about $10 thats probably not a bad idea......if you like throwing away money.
