    Default Impulse buy help: Darkwing Duck GameBoy

    I just bought a sealed copy of Darkwing Duck for GameBoy at a, what I think, is a decent price ($25). I snatched it quickly before anybody else could, mostly based on the fact that despite me being a somewhat recent GameBoy collector I don't ever remember seeing a mint copy of it in the past.

    So, GameBoy collectors, is it a good buy? How rare is it? Will I be able to at least double my money if after playing it on an emulator I decide I don't like it and want to sell it still factory sealed? Thanks for the help!

    Collecting is for fun! If you think you are going to profit on every purchase, flipping shortly after purchase, you are going to have little or no fun in this hobby!~

    I only buy games I really like, and I know Darkwing Duck NES is good, so I thought I better snatch this one quick because it was relatively cheap and I'm hoping it's as good as the NES one. Thing is, if I don't like it then I wasted my money.
    On the other hand, if I decide to keep it, I'm gonna open it and play it even if it loses its value.

    With the exception of the "profit on every purchase" part...this IS how some people do fund their hobby, and can be fun in and of itself. But to each their own. Having said that though, I mostly gave up this way when I got a job.

    True.... Now that I think about it, my entire GameBoy mint collection has been purchased by buying GameBoy lots off of Ebay from people that don't know the value of what they are selling and reselling them individually for a lot more. This is what I have so far, everything complete in box:

    -Original GameBoy (with original receipt from Toys R Us 1990)
    -Castlevania 2: Belmont's Revenge (with original receipt from Toys R Us 1991)
    -Metroid 2
    -Gargoyle's Quest
    -Final Fantasy Legend (Sunsoft)
    -Final Fantasy Legend 2 (Square)
    -Final Fantasy Legend 3 (Square)
    -Final Fantasy Adventure (Square)
    -X
    -Dragon Warrior 1 & 2
    -Dragon Warrior 3
    -Super Mario Bros. Deluxe
    -Metal Gear Solid
    -Zelda DX
    -Tetris

    Spent $320 on it.

    It's hard to say but that game is getting hard to find. Watch this auction and see what it goes for. $25 seems like a pretty good deal.

    A case or two was found last year. You paid $25, which is about right. Anything over $30 is crazy talk.
