Hi there, 1 bump every 24 hours. My post here will count as your bump, please do not bump until after 7:06 AM NA (EST) Time. Please read the FAQ if there are any questions, thanks.
Yes, there are at least two and the price is going to be 5 figures I"m sure. Perhaps you should start with some more realistic goals, build a reputation, establish some feedback, and then try to pursue higher value items.

yeah, I'm trying to smash out a lot of the cheap games first while still putting it out there that I am looking for a sealed Sculptures Cut
Just a quick point of information: I am not sure about Australia, but in the UK where I grew up PAL N64 games were most certainly sold sealed. Might want to look into importing from UK if the NTSC stuff is hard to get hold of... but then again the prices over there are probably worse!!!
Put a large enough bounty and you may pull one out, but there are quite a few out there willing to drop $10K+ on a sealed SC
Umm...yeah of the two copies that are known to exist neither of them is going for 10k. One of the owners stated that they will not sell and the other has stated that they will not sell for less than $250k. I'm pretty sure both owners are members of NA, but I doubt that they will respond to a thread like this unless someone has a SERIOUS amount of cash in hand!

I think they are taking the piss asking for $250k. Bit extreme.
I know of a claimed to exist copy locally by me, if this one is unknown. Was told it's not for sale, and if it were, the price would pay for a year of a family member's college. I have not seen it in person to check for re-seal.

there are games much rarer than this that go for less money than 250k which is apparently what someone is asking for, for example the Nintendo World Championship cart wouldnt even go for that much. PLUS yes I am going for a complete sealed n64 collection but if I had $250k to throw around I'd be buying a lambourgini not a sealed game. It is an extremely unreasonable asking price.

I agree with you that it is outrageous. Rarity and monetary value often become mixed up with current collection craze. As many others have hinted toward, there are certainly games that are rare and cheap. It's our responsibility to temper those discussions of rarity to prevent pruce spikes. Anyone with a cell-phone can feed into the price hysteria.
There's probably someone reading this right now thinking that they can get MORE than 250K if we mention that price because, of course, that person is 100% sure that their specific copy is the best ever, because the "collectors" said it's "rare."
Not to rain on your parade OP, or maybe I am, but I dont get this notion of having to have every games from a system you liked as a kid sealed. I kinda equate it to drug use, always chasing that first high you had way back when but it will never be the same. You will spend a lot of money buying easier to find games, and they are easier to find because noone wants them and then after a time you have a bunch of games you never played, have no attachment to, and will have trouble reselling to make your money back.
Why not just buy the games you actually care about? Noone is going to have a complete N64 set without some extremely pricey purchases and for what?
Again, if youre dedicated more power to you, but you seem very new and idealistic and quite honestly, there are people with the same idea every month of every year who spend money chasing the dragon, lose the passion as they realize it's harder then they could ever expect and just leave slightly jaded and poorer.
As a sincere plea, I would simply rethink what you're trying to relive here and maybe focus more on what really matters than trying to hunt down the obscure with little emotional attachment.
Collecting sealed is an unusual phenomenon, even in the context of the unusual phenomenon that is retro game collecting...
One of my favourite things about collecting is that I can buy games I really wanted as a kid, but could never afford, and now they are like a fiver or a tenner and I can buy almost anything I like! Of course, the condition and completeness are not equivalent, but when I've got the 64 fired up and cooking, who cares?
With sealed collecting, the entire logic is reversed. You are paying usually MORE than the game cost when new, solely for the pleasure of NEVER playing it. Now don't get me wrong, I understand the appeal of sealed to an extent and yes those minty fresh games are often things of beauty, but the mere thought of going for a full set and spending thousands upon thousands never to even play...
Just my two cents, not suggesting and course is either right or wrong here, different tastes and all that!

You clearly are raining on his parade hard, this is textbook thread crapping. I just wrapped up a deal with the OP for a sealed Starfox64 that is now in the mail, and despite the high dollar amount and risk it was one of the smoothest transactions I've done on here and I can't wait until I can deal with him again. For the price we agreed upon I wouldn't call it an unwise or misguided purchase in any way, not a bad game to start the journey.
It's understandable that you're looking out for OP but it's really not coming off that way at all.

I understand you think it's a waste of money but its not to me, people have their own reasons for doing things and should only be supported along the way to achieve their goal.

Or I suppose you only chased low-end items when you first started out? Dude's a grown-ass man, it's not just you jone but the preaching and disparaging in this thread is just making me shake my head.

What was the shipping with tracking like from Canada on a single game? (also I had no idea you had a sealed star fox, curious what you got for it)

The shipping price was huuuuuge, even more than I thought - just under $70 after tax. Of course keep in mind I sent it in a pretty large box, to account for the large Starfox box, plus a few layers of padding.

Oh come on jone, of course that's what OP is doing. It's not like this thread is an SC-only thread and he expects an SC to just show up... this thread is for collecting the set, and is obviously going to bring in people offering more common games to build feedback with. Or I suppose you only chased low-end items when you first started out? Dude's a grown-ass man, it's not just you jone but the preaching and disparaging in this thread is just making me shake my head.
I'm not sure why you're quoting me, but get some thicker skin if you are offended by innocent comments. I've been flaked on by lots of new users / zero feedbackers, and I imagine others have as well. The advice is sincere, buy some low hanging fruit, build a rep, get some feedback and then more items will come to him. Anyone can make a WTB thread for a trail, but few can fund the purchase.
And side note OP, I still have 125 or so sealed N64 games. Maybe we'll do business someday after you build a rep around here.

Nah dude nothing to do with thick/thin skin or being offended, and your advice is obviously truthful, I've been flaked too though ironically not usually from 0 feedback guys, I just hate "shoulding" especially in a WTB/S thread. I'm sure OP is fine with all the free bumps we're giving him though Sorry if I read too much into your comment, other guy's back there was way worse anyway. OP is rad to deal with and I hope he sticks around.

As a sincere plea, I would simply rethink what you're trying to relive here and maybe focus more on what really matters than trying to hunt down the obscure with little emotional attachment.
You clearly are raining on his parade hard, this is textbook thread crapping. I just wrapped up a deal with the OP for a sealed Starfox64 that is now in the mail, and despite the high dollar amount and risk it was one of the smoothest transactions I've done on here and I can't wait until I can deal with him again. For the price we agreed upon I wouldn't call it an unwise or misguided purchase in any way, not a bad game to start the journey.
It's understandable that you're looking out for OP but it's really not coming off that way at all.
What was the shipping with tracking like from Canada on a single game? (also I had no idea you had a sealed star fox, curious what you got for it)
Really?
Not to rain on your parade OP, or maybe I am, but I dont get this notion of having to have every games from a system you liked as a kid sealed. I kinda equate it to drug use, always chasing that first high you had way back when but it will never be the same. You will spend a lot of money buying easier to find games, and they are easier to find because noone wants them and then after a time you have a bunch of games you never played, have no attachment to, and will have trouble reselling to make your money back.

The shipping price was huuuuuge, even more than I thought - just under $70 after tax. Of course keep in mind I sent it in a pretty large box, to account for the large Starfox box, plus a few layers of padding.
OP joins website for game collectors because he wants to collect games. Then he gets ridiculed by game collectors because he wants to collect games.
Really?
Internet!

I know right! hahahaha
Yes, there are at least two and the price is going to be 5 figures I"m sure. Perhaps you should start with some more realistic goals, build a reputation, establish some feedback, and then try to pursue higher value items.
Oh come on jone, of course that's what OP is doing. It's not like this thread is an SC-only thread and he expects an SC to just show up... this thread is for collecting the set, and is obviously going to bring in people offering more common games to build feedback with. Or I suppose you only chased low-end items when you first started out? Dude's a grown-ass man, it's not just you jone but the preaching and disparaging in this thread is just making me shake my head.
I'm not sure why you're quoting me, but get some thicker skin if you are offended by innocent comments. I've been flaked on by lots of new users / zero feedbackers, and I imagine others have as well. The advice is sincere, buy some low hanging fruit, build a rep, get some feedback and then more items will come to him. Anyone can make a WTB thread for a trail, but few can fund the purchase.
And side note OP, I still have 125 or so sealed N64 games. Maybe we'll do business someday after you build a rep around here.

Nah dude nothing to do with thick/thin skin or being offended, and your advice is obviously truthful, I've been flaked too though ironically not usually from 0 feedback guys, I just hate "shoulding" especially in a WTB/S thread. I'm sure OP is fine with all the free bumps we're giving him though Sorry if I read too much into your comment, other guy's back there was way worse anyway. OP is rad to deal with and I hope he sticks around.
