Hello,

Is the doshin the giant the red or yellow version ?

 

It's the first game, so yellow one I suppose. Will double-check when I get home.

 

Just got home and checked the contents of Doshin. Hopefully, this should clear everything up.

 

Thanks for the pictures. I don't know if I can give you a correct price for them, as I am interested in some of them.

But I would say that the F-Zero is the most priced one.

 

Did you mean the F-Zero Expansion Kit, or the original F-Zero title for SFC?

 

The expansion kit

 

The FC and SFC games you can easily get prices for by looking at Ebay and clicking completed listings.

 

I took a closer look at Ebay for some example prices, and settled on the following range:

F-Zero -> 45 - 60 Euro
Star Fox -> 50 - 70 Euro
Final Fantasy V -> 30 - 35 Euro

Funnily enough, when I searched for Salamander for Famicom, I got a handful of hits suggesting the auction value was around 50 - 80 Euro, but then I noticed one auction with a buy-it-now price of 415 GBP! Seems like a ridiculously high price to me, unless mint-condition copies of this game are much more sort after.

Anyway, do these price ranges seems reasonable? (I tried doing the same for the N64DD stuff, but it looks like they're tougher to value based on past Ebay sales.)

 

You can also try to have a look at passed Yahoo auctions. It may be useful for 64DD stuff.

 

Yeah, I will do. Was trying to determine a price for Salamander there just now, actually.

Anyway, I've got a feeling I have the other Mario Artist package (the one with the mouse) in a box at my place in Japan, so I'm going to retrieve it next time I'm there. Chances are the four items might be worth more as a set.

 

It seems you are looking at some of the insane prices that people list stuff for in the vain hope that someone stupid buys it, super mint can increase the price but most games are generally in good condition anyway.

If you click the Sold Listings box then prices get more realistic... Below prices include shipping...

Star Fox - 8 to 20 UK pounds
F-Zero - 10 to 20 UK Pounds
FFV - 8 to 20 UK pounds

Most of the above had sold boxed complete for $5 to $10 with postage costing between $5 to $12

Boxed Salamander on the Famicom has sold for 40 to 80 pounds complete (shipped).

 

Looking at sold item is indeed a more precise view of the market price.

 

Hi Jamtex,

Thanks for clarifying that! I was getting a bit suspicious after seeing so many of these games being sold for next to nothing in Japan. Anyway, I appreciate all the feedback.
