It's been a few years since I last checked on rare Virtual Boy items and I was wondering if someone is still into the material and could help me estimate how hard those items are to find. Virtual Lab Virtual Bowling Space Invaders SD Gundam Dimension War There's a new Virtual Bowling on Yahoo and it's been there forever (200'000yen), so I suppose the price is still more around half of that? Last time I saw it go as an auction, it was around 75k (but "only" mint, not new). Also, this: Mario Tennis - For Display Only Box (US) As far as I know it's the only way to get a box for this game. Any idea?
Couldn't guess pricing at this point, the vboy forums probably know. I imagine with the flashboy out that the only people really trying to grab the rare titles are hardcore collectors who have money to drop though
Space Invaders are still in the $400 range, been watching for a cheaper one for like forever. There was a honest to goodness auction that started cheap but it ended up a few hundred dollars. For that much, I'd be better off with flash cart, just about all of the VB ROMs have been dumped and released.
I follow the Virtual Boy market all the time and have been doing so for almost 2 years. Virtual Lab is by far the hardest game to find complete in box. 2 might show up on the internet in a year. It still sells for about $700 to $900.00 Virtual Bowling is the second hardest game to find complete in box, but it sells for more because people like the gameplay. It still sells for $1000.00 to $1300.00. SD Gundam is the third hardest to find. It has a large selling range. You can find it anywhere from $400.00 to $1000.00. Space Invaders comes next, and it sells for $400.00 to $600.00, but some lucky people have gotten CIBs for between $200.00 and $300.00. As for Mario's Tennis, yes, the For Display Only Box is the only way to get a box for the USA version of the game. It was never intended to be sold in a box of its own, but Blockbuster received the display boxes and later decided to include them when selling off their rented Mario's Tennis carts, so there is no such thing as a "new" Mario's Tennis in box.
