$30? I think that's quite low. I would buy another one for $30 in a heartbeat. Someone had like 5 diagnostic carts on eBay and they all ended over $100. I'm not saying that's right, but I think that there are a long list of people who would (and will) pay $75 for those carts, and to say it's worth less is a stretch.
It's a nice rare cart that's worth a bit but not a ton. Let's not split too many hairs about it's exact value, but suffice to say, it's definitely something NOT worth more than $150, probably quite a bit less. And frankly, that's nice money, but nowhere near enought to separate me from a nice score. That's why I put up ranges of value, because it's hard to know where things will land.
Having said all this, I am not the most studied NES buyer on the web, and perhaps there's one up every week selling for $20 and I just don't know about it. Doubt it. But then NES 'protos' and preproduction carts aren't making much money despite their rarity and coolness factor.
