I just bought a copy of Super Mario Bros. complete with box and instructions.
I didn't know it was released for sale like this (it looks original to the mid 80s). I thought they packed this game in with systems so you wouldn't find a box for it . . . ever :-)
Does anyone know off hand what this would be valued at . . . the cart and instructions are mint, I'd say the box is very good (7/10 condition).
BTW, $1.50 at a Value Village.

Probably not worth much more than what you paid for it.

If it was sealed then it *might* fetch a dime or two on eBay. There has to be come crazy mario collector out there who would want it sealed. Otherwise I couldn't suspect it to be worth much more than you paid.
Looking at eBay one sold for $16, one didn't sell for $25 (these were both BINs.) There is also (I assume the same) one up now for $25 currently.
This is the one that sold:

Hard to say what you'd get if you put it up for a penny and let it go. I sell stuff with BINs routinely for above what the average same item gets bid up to. But OTOH there probably aren't 4 dozen complete Mario games on eBay at any given moment so you might get a bid war if you were lucky.
(I searched for listings with 'complete' or 'cib' in the title, so I may have missed some that were listed differently.)

At some point they had to have sold Mario separately, since the first bunching of systems came packaged with Gyromite, ROB, Duckhunt and a lightgun, but no Mario.
Which is the reason I still don't own SMB for my NES. :(

Do you still have ROB? He's cool.

I didn't buy it because I thought it was worth a ton of money . . . but it seemed kind of rare.
Still $15 for my $1.50 wouldn't be a bad return.

sealed will fetch about $70-$80 on average from what I have noticed.

And that is so fricking crazy if you ask me . . . I thought i looked cool to see 1) Mario without Duck Hunt and 2) box and instructions . . . maybe I'll end up trading it here on CAG??
I know for people with "room of doom" aspirations that box and instructions are valued.
I bet SNES Mario World with box and instructions has a higher value.
