Jetsons Cogwell's Caper SCN - CIB

in Price Check
Hi there



I have this Cogwell's Caper in SCN version. Unfortunately the box is in very bad shape. All the flaps are there, but just barely.



I have a hard time finding enough on eBay (finding any actually) in the SCN version, so I really don't know what to value it at... Any suggestions? Is the box worth anything at all for a collector, considering it's shape? (If you are able to find it on eBay I would welcome any tips how to search; I'm not very experienced with eBay and have trying to read the tips given in this forum, but am still without luck)



I've posted the images on IMGUR and try to show all the wrinkles, writings, damages etc.

    http://imgur.com/a/4963N is the link. You somehow added some periods to it.

    EDIT: Never mind you fixed it.

    Haha. Thank you for the help. The learning curve is steep, it seems

    I'd be in on the box at the right price! I have the NTSC version of the game and would just like a box for display purposes if you come up with a price give me a shout!

    Hi there skoreboardtxjmo



    Thank you for the interest, but I'd prefer not parting them, since it's a SCN title with a SCN box (which you can see on the flaps of the box). I'd actually prefer not to sell it at all, but truth be told I may be needing some funds in a few weeks for a larger NES-collection I'm going to look at, therefore it would be nice to know which price I could set this at to get it to sell fast, if needed.



    I'm also guessing that if this box gets paired with a NTSC cartridge, it would never find it's way back to a SCN one, which I frankly think is a shame.



    Additionally, I'm across the pond, so shipping costs probably would be overwhelming:

    - Sent as letter, without track & trace, without insurance: just under $15

    - Sent as parcel, insured with track & trace: just under $50

    If I was selling an SCN game, I'd probably head for either http://www.sndb.se/ (Swedish Nintendo Collectors) or http://www.nesretro.com (Finnish Nintendo Collectors), as the demand for SCN is hands down highest around these parts! I'd figure they can help assess the price too since they deal with this stuff regularly.



    My Swedish is a bit rusty so I think you understand that site better yourself but if you want to get a price evaluation at NES Retro there's a thread for general price inquiries here: http://www.nesretro.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1174317333 . Everyone will understand if you'll just post in English to that thread. Additionally, if you're looking to post a sales ad at NES retro you should head for the section called "Myydään" ("For sale") and make a thread there. There's also a section for English sell buy & trade but nobody goes there and again everyone will understand if you just post a thread in English to the "Myydään" section. Please note though that the rules of that section state you have to announce your definite sale price as that area is not for auctions, so should you sell there you could maybe post a price you're absolutely willing to sell it + then mention if you're willing to entertain lower offers.

    Oh, Aatos, always helpful, thank you



    I'm amazed how many larger NES forums seem to be out there, the interest for NES games is quite larger than I first anticipated.



    I went with the swedish option first, since my Finnish (apart from the the yksi, kaksi, kolme and olut) is non-existant - and am currently waiting for the admins to approve my request - If no luck, I'll try to post in English in the Finnish board, as per your suggestion, but I'd prefer to concentrate on as few boards as possible, since I know how annoying it is with new members joining and posting once, only to never be heard from again.

    Update, if anyone is following



    I tried my luck on sndb.se and only got a reply from one of the moderators, who estimated that it would bring approximately the equivelant of $300. That seems reasonable, although it's a bit lesser than I expected. I'll have to learn not to be blinded by the fact, that there is a box, when the box is in bad shape - Probably a normal newbie error
