Thanks Jason, I was wondering when you'd chime in. Considering he has been involved in more NWC transactions than anyone, hopefully the valuation argument can be laid to rest. $16k seems high for an NWC Gray, but if you're willing to wait for the right buyer, someone will probably come your way eventually.
As I said, $17k for a Gold seemed awfully cheap. It has nothing to do with sealed games, I'm talking about NES values in general. Samson cart only went from $125 to $300 in a year, Flintstones 2 cart only went from $250 to $500 in 6 months. You can look at other platforms where a MUSHA Genesis CIB went from $100 to $250 also. There is legitimate money coming into the hobby on anything rare.
If the NWC Gold was $17k a couple of years ago and still $17k today, red flags should be going off. There is no way that the rarest of all things rare stays the same in value while everything else is spiking. Anyone should be able to read that writing on the wall.
