    Here is a good basic formula when trying to guess on what a box or manual is worth. I think it works pretty accurately on about 80% of the games, should not be used with black box games, or games like chubby cherub where the box is way way harder to find than the cart.



    the value of the box = the value of a cart only

    the value of the manual = 1/2 the value of a cart only



    assuming all are in excellent condition.



    So if a mario is missing cart is worth $20, the box is worth $20, the manual is worth $10. I knocked your manual $2 extra for condtion.



    Hope that helps.

    I always thought that Lemmins was a good looking box. Still need that one

    I'd say Urban Champion's box should be worth slightly more than $15...maybe closer to $20 or very slightly more (up to $23 or thereabouts).

    Now that you say that, I agree. I was basing the box prices off CIB's but again black box game break the norm. Since the cart is practically worthless and the manual just a shade above worthless I'd say you are right with your $23 assessment of the urban champion box.

    I agree a nice Urban Champion box is worth right around $25,And the lemmings might be worth just a tad more than $10.

    I agree with that formula.  (assuming the box is really good ).   I will almost never pay more for a box than I would pay for the cart.  And usually the boxes arent great so usually I wont pay as much.

    Hangtab boxes in good shape are generally more because finding one with a hangtab intact is difficult.  Chubby Cherub and MUSCLE can only be found with hangtab which partially explain their price anomaly.  Tiger Heli is available in both, so is usually around $3 for the box although I'd pay more for a hangtab one.
