$600 for a freakin game!!!

I own this but I don't have the box just the instructions. It's in a box somewhere. Oh well I'm too lazy to look for it anyways to sell it if I even still have the thing.
 
This game was a bitch on single player. You had an AI partner named spike or something. He would smash the ladder that you needed to finish a level and you had to wait for time to run down.
 
[quote name='rockhero']Wow, I picked this game up at a comic book store just yesterday for $2. Cart only though.[/quote]

I bet you're kicking yourself now that you didn't hold out for the box & instructions for only $598 more. ](*,)

Does anyone else think these really old "sealed" games are kinda fishy? What's stopping me from taking a NES game/box/manual that's in very good/excellent condition and shrink wrapping it myself, then making a mint because of it? It's not like those old games had any kind of security seal.

And don't give me "but it has a price tag!!", because I have no doubt I could come up w/ a old-looking price tag if there was $600 in it for me. ;)
 
Sigh... if only I had a time machine...
Sealled games going for 300% retail...
WoW going for $200...
If I could only send myself a note to stock up... ^_^

more than 20 years old

Nevertheless, I hope that any idiot paying that much for a game knows more about it than the seller...

Official Nintendo games were sealed with a horizontal line on the back that you cannot do with a home shinkwrap machine.

If you can seal one side then you can seal all three. Just seal the back first and then the other two sides.

Not only would it be hard to shrinkwrap with that line in the back, but it would be hard to find an unused box.
