which i have still yet to see turn up loose in my travels oddly enough. but i have seen a ton of the Duck hunt/mario carts.. in fact i found the duck hunt/mario/world class track meet last time i was at a good will (passed on it though). oh well

anyways in the spirit of i would be interested into seeing this thing flourishing and succeeding. I am gonna vote on the silver half dollar or the gameboy sp.

considering the item your starting with is going for about 10 bucks to be fair on ebay.

The silver half dollar if its the genuine silver piece its worth the same in melt value alone which some of your apocalyptic event crazed prepare kinda people are buying in the event of a government melt down and using precious metals as a currency believe it or not. Also they are very collectible with coin collectors which is always a big hobby. Now as a collectible i'd goto your local coin dealer to have it checked out to get a real good value on it. They can evaluate it in terms of proof level and everything. Also thanks to the hobby being so strong they are a very easy trade item.

The gameboy sp although worth something. I think unless you trade it off to another game collector its not gonna amount to much and take awhile to trade off.

The magazines imo will get you absolutely no where unless you find that one guy or girl that collects them which is few and far in between or atleast that I have noticed.

Another note on the silver coin i'd like to point out is that since it has a much broader spectrum of collectors. It could branch off to something completely different. Like say you take that coin and trade it off for say something useful thats easy to trade like a leaf blower or something which you can trade to a home owner or that guy that runs his own lawn care service company and is in need of a leaf blower.
