NES Legend of Zelda gold sealed

So a friend of mine has a few sealed games he may want me to sell soon but the prices flux greatly on Zelda. I know condition is king but what should a nice sealed copy go for?

I told him not to use ebay and I would handle it for him w/o the huge fees. If he sells it will be here first.

I'll post pics when i get it in hand. But what area should i tell him to expect price wise?

Comments

  • price charting says $65 (CIB) but i call BS on that.

    $300 Sealed I can kinda see that. if its not a 95VG
  • I'd second Otra's estimation. Probably even higher. Sealed stuff is crazy. 
  • Would depend on what version it is too



    Base price would be 300++

    If you have the right version to the right collecter or how it doesn't pop up offen could really increase the price
  • a lot of factor(s) are on the table ...



    would be nice if you could post something for US, as in photo(s) ...
  • First, Gray cart Classic Series or Gold Cart?



    Second, White Seal or Oval Seal or non-Rev A?



    And your answer, assuming Gold cart and "nice" shape, $1000-$10000.

    I wasn't.. Why would you think so? Does the community have something against him(yes, I know about the the whole backdooring SE thing)?

    Don't want to derail the OP's thread anymore, but the "seems" part is the most accurate thing in your sentence.



    Back on topic, pics/condition is everything.   Have a feeling it's the re-release without seeing pics, but you never know.

    Ok, last thing as it should either way be beneficial to OP. Taken from his comment in a reddit post about sealed Zelda's: 


    "A first print Zelda...well, I only know of ONE copy. The ones you see usually are the versions that say "Nintendo Entertainment System Classic Series" in a big red stripe at the top and sell pretty cheap and are available at all times.


    Rarer though, they have the oval Seal of Quality and no red stripe at the top. Those are pretty rare as is, but still easy to get and relatively cheap.


    Even rarer though is to find one with the Circle seal of quality- but they're available most of the time during the year on eBay at crazy prices...


    Even rarer than that though, is the second print, which is the one that doesn't say "REV-A" in red text under the Seal of Quality, but has the ® symbol after the Nintendo Entertainment System logo...those show up once every two years maybe.


    EVEN RARER THAN THAT! Is the first print. A First print Legend of Zelda even just CIB is extremely rare, it has the following markings.


    • Circle Seal of Quality

    • No "REV-A" under the seal of quality

    • ™ Symbol after the Nintendo Entertainment System logo on the front.


    I'd gladly fork over $3,000 for this."



    Seems to me to know more than your average joe but maybe this is common knowledge around here? Either way, I'm sure OP will be able to find the help he/she needs here as there are many knowledgeable collector's from what I've seen(esp. sealed).

  • That sright theres that white sealed copy too.
  • Revision and condition is everything on this. Need lots of good pics to judge.



    Here's Braveheart's rev list for reference. http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=5&threadid=41227

    I covered all of that in my 3 sentence response above.  You need to know the exact variant and condition, then price will fall out from that.



    And $3k for a first print Zelda sealed is laughable, any big sealed NES collector would pay that for a nice copy.  And you probably have better odds of winning the lottery than actually finding one.
  • I knew i loved you guys for a reason...very helpful and i always get a laugh when you run off topic. I've been bugging him to get it to me so i can pic it out but he doesn't seem to be in a rush. Hopefully he's not BSing but I don't think so.I'll try to get ahold of him tomorrow after work again.
  • with all this said, photo(s) are needed ...
  • Yes, lots of them

    Why is that laughable? There was an R logo Non Rev-A graded VGA 85 on eBay last summer (I think it was Bronty's?). I believe he wanted 2.5k for it IIRC.




  • My money's on this being grey. Any gold version is worth a good bit to a lot more, depending on which version and condition. Rev-A with massive problems still hit $750, and white seal with at least one badly dinged corner for $1150.



    Grey one's still cool, but it'd be really nice for you in any gold flavor.
  • So today's info was that he thinks he bought it within 1 week of release.



    I told him there were lots of variables and just asked if he remembered when it was purchased. No mention of value.



    He's going to look for it and the few other sealed games this weekend.
