Hardest NES game to get?

[Raedon]

I'm pretty sure that was some sort of joke.. the Tetris post.. I think..

I think caltron 6 in 1 was sold here a while ago for only $7.00 !!
Not 100% sure if it was this game, because on the auction there was no picture. But the guy/girl who sold it described it as a strange cartridge and he/she also said there was a guy with a box on the cover. I found a pic of the cartridge online today, and there was a guy carrying a box. Then it came to my mind that this game that he/she sold might have been caltron 6 in 1.
Damn.. i wish i had bought it Even if it wasnt this game, it was still very cheap.. Ah well, as i said, not 100% sure if it was this game, but nothing i can do about it now anyway hehe

why is pro sport hockey so rare ? i have 3 here in my collection and i see them at local stores sometimes even as a matter of fact there are 2 stores that has these in stock atm ....

I had a hard time finding wayne's world when finishing up my nes collection. I just checked e-bay and none on there in completed auction or still in auction.


It was hard for me to find pro sport hockey also, i looked for a long time then one day a few years back just was browsing videogameconnections.com and bam a complete one for 10 bucks it was mine thats forsure.

There was this one 2-in-one game... I cannot quite remember what it is called... something like "Mario Bros / Duck Hunt" or something like that.... I had a really hard time finding that one

Mighty Final Fight.

Last time I saw this game in the wild I passed it up cuz I thought 10 bucks was alot at the time.

I kick myself ever since.

It's been two and a half years since the classic guide was published. Things do change. Pro Sport Hockey HAS gotten harder to find. Hence, the adjustment to its rating.

I can understand that, sure. I was just surprised that its rarity has changed so drastically; It's changed from a "sort of hard to find" type of item to "one of the hardest" that's being talked about in this thread.

One other question: Does the scarcity rating list how hard it is to buy, or how common the game is to 'find', like in a collection somewhere?

Incidentally, it's a misnomer that scarcities go down... it's quite the opposite from my experience.

However, if you tell me where these "stockpiles" are, I'd be willing to let you win the argument

Now that I think about it a bit more, that does make sense. Games get thrown out instead of sold to a pawn shop; collectors take them out of the market to store them in bank vaults, etc etc. I was thinking of things like suddenly finding basically the entire stock of Cheetahmen II and releasing it onto the market; certainly not applicable in all situations, but it's happened. I was really just curious if something specific had caused the jump in scarcity. Maybe a psychopath bought up a few thousand of them and launched them into space. Who knows.

Dragon Warrior 4 is very easy to get. Just search on Ebay and you will find it easy

[soniko_karuto]

but for what price!

I've seen it, and for me, hunting games is diving into the wild, not just sitting and searching on a website, as i have no way to pay to people, except for cash or money order.

just found this http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...ayphotohosting

if someone from sandiego is willing to buy it and take the time to see each other to pay him personally, i would be very glad, as i only have the nes carts of each one of those.

EDIT:
HOly crap! i'd kill for one of this!!

Its still easy to get Dragon Warrior 4.
Place a bid on that book then only 3 dollars, cheap =)
You dont have Paypal? You should realy register an account there, its so easy to use.
