    I'm confused also. x_x

    On the surface, this looks like a late model NES -- made between 1990 and 1993, when they switched over to the Top Loader for the final year. The box looks to be in great shape, and he says the game and all the packings inside are brand new, never touched.

    I'd figure this MIGHT go as high as $100 based on the mint and unopened condition.

    But $300?

    Buy it for what it's worth today, because it will only raise in price tommarow.
    Yep, pretty much.

    No, it's included with the system -- you know, they used to GIVE you games when you bought the system, the good old days?

    If I recall correctly from when I got my NES (with Super Mario Brothers) and SNES (with Super Mario World) the games don't have a box -- they just have the game and manual.

    Thats correct...however this set did come with a complete Mario 3. But I was under the impression that the box that came with Mario 3 was supposed to have "Not For Resale" on it. If thats true, he must have switched them or lost the other one. Thats a lot of the cost there, and its not included. BTW...that price is way too high.

    The game in that set did come in a box. I dont believe it varied from the normal box. However I am pretty sure it wasnt shrink wrapped. I could be wrong. But I do remember actually buying this set new

    Well one of the sets has a "Not For Resale" Mario 3...and I thought this was the only Mario 3 set, obviously I'm wrong. Does anyone know which set has it?

    Wow, a 5 year old had 119.00 dollars hanging around :P

    I am sure you are mistaken. Nes didnt do that with thier games included in sets. You must be thinking of the Genesis games that came with thier systems

    Mario 3 with the challenge set WAS NOT shrinkwrapped, but was sealed with a sticker running across almost the entire front and over both edges.

    sticker says " CHALLENGE SET" "INCLUDED WITH CHALLENGE SET NOT FOR RESALE"

    I have the box and the pic will be on my variants website, when I actually get some time to work on it.



    so drexel is correct.

    Okay, so in THIS set the included game DID have a box. Very interesting.

    It LOOKS like this is the correct box, since we can't see any stickers on the one pic of it.

    If it was swapped, though, that's a major rip.

    Call me a freak but I probably would have gone as high as $150 for that.
