    Default Bubble Bobble for NES

    Why are the prices on eBay so high on this game. Anywhere from $20-$40 us. I mean it's an R1. It's a good game, I guess people will pay anything for what they want.

    Try you're luck at thrift stores or swap meets. I just recently found Bubble bobble for $2 near me.

    Whoa!!..Really .........................................Thanks..

    I could of swore I had this game in my collection but my buddy said he was going to throw some NES games in a box to sell at the flea market for 2-3 dollars each.

    I asked him what he had..most are commons but he had the 3 games below and I wasn't sure if I had them..(I needed the mega man 3 though)
    So he gave me them for nothing...

    Sheesh..I might to list this BB if that's the going rate..

    Rarities and demands are quite different. Contra is in the same boat as Bubble Bobble, even more so. Super common, relatively expensive. Same goes for rare games. There are loads of rare games that go for nothing on eBay because no one cares about them.

    I just waiting to find my BB and Contras cheap, they can be found, just might take a bit of patience.

    I would say some of the other examples would be

    Megaman
    Final Fantasy
    Legend of Zelda
    Phantasy Star

    I got Legend of Zelda and Contra for under 4 bucks a piece from a neighbor. They sell for 16 and 15 in the stores around here.
    Any popular (old) games no matter how common hold a pretty good value.

    I regret not picking it up from GS a few months back. Haven't seen BB in the wild since.
