If you are reading this thread for the first time, please understand that this thread started off as a thread about what loose SNES games get good money on Ebay. Then I did a number of other threads regarding the Game Gear and GameBoy and GameBoy color and the Dreamcast. All of those threads were closed by a mod, and then the mod retitled this thread "loose games for "ANY SYSTEM" that get good $ on Ebay". I had nothing to do with that, and I would never try to inquire about that kind of information for every system, but the Mod decided to title it like that. Then this thread started to really get going as a everybody hate on Anthony1 thread, and I decided to just change the title to a much more logical title.


Now back to your regularly scheduled thread........




Ok, I've seen the DP rarity guide. I've studied it in fact. But the DP guide and Ebay are like two different worlds. Sometimes the paths cross and a game that the DP guide has valued really high, gets big money on Ebay too, but sometimes games that aren't valued to high in the DP guide also get big money on Ebay, and sometimes some games valued kinda high in the DP guide don't get much of anything on Ebay, so I thought we could have a nice little discussion here about which loose SNES carts consistently get good money on Ebay.


What do I mean by good money? Basically any game that consistently gets $10 or more in final bid price if the shipping is about $5 or so. So basically a combo of shipping and final bid price of $15 or more, on a relatively consistent basis.

Also, which games do you feel are the absolute cream of the crop, in terms of getting the absolute most money, even though they are just loose SNES carts?

Doing some research on it, these are some games that I have determined that get some pretty good money:

Mega Man X3
Chrono Trigger
Earthbound
Final Fantasy III
Castlevania: Dracula X
Super Mario RPG
Final Fantasy II
Secret of Mana
Harvest Moon
Ogre Battle
Breath of Fire II
Lufia II
Mega Man X2
Metal Warriors
Bust A Move - not sure about this one
Super Metroid
Rock N Roll Racing
Contra III: Alien Wars
Yoshi's Island



I'm sure there are many more, and some that definitely pull way more than others.

Now if you look at that list, there are alot of games ranked pretty high, that I never see on Ebay, and when I do, sometimes they don't fetch very high bids. Stuff like Genghis Khan and PTO and Uncharted Waters and Romance of the Three Kingdoms and stuff like that. So what games are the highest ranked ones on the DP rarity guide that get the least amount of money on Ebay?


Anyways, this discussion is just to help myself and people like myself that find lots of SNES games in the wild, games that we necessarily aren't interested in personally, but that maybe we should buy and sell on Ebay to help pay for other games that we really want. So that is what this is all about. So everybody that is very knowledgeable about Ebay prices for loose SNES carts, please help out!!!!!
