Wario Land II - CIB - million seller - great shape

    I don't know about prices.. but for some reason picking up some CIB gameboy games has seemed really appealing to me lately.

    I wish I knew more about them.
  • !damage!!damage!
    the real downside is since not many people collect them, there's no real set prices for CIB stuff

    and cart only varies so much you never know how that'll go







  • udisiudisi
    the best one in there would be the castlevania 2 which will bring $40-50. I still need Mouse Trap Hotel if you end up picking these up

    oddworld adventures can be pretty difficult to find CIB. I'd pick it up if it was under $20 or so. Maybe even $30 if it was real nice.



    And of course Castlevania image
  • TheFrisbeeTheFrisbee
    It looks like if you have Really nice/complete copy of Castlevania II that it could fetch a pretty penny...

    Seems like that's a nice lot to pick up if the price is right.
  • !damage!!damage!
    well if that's the case for castlevania II, I better get these quick

    You reckon I sold my copy too cheap, TheFrisbee?



    If I had known I was going to be collecting Gameboy, and that the game itself is worth quite a bit, I would not have sold it image
  • TheFrisbeeTheFrisbee
    I'm by no means a expert on Gameboy.. heck I dont even consider myself half knowledgeable on it.



    But considering that yours was in a wee bit lesser condition, and was quite as complete I'd say that you did fine.

    Perhaps you could have squeezed a few more bucks out of it.. but you didn't take a $40 loss by any means.

    Way too cheap Hardbody. Trust me, Castlevania II on GB is almost as rare as Legends. I wouldnt sell one for any less than $80 and thats pushing it.

    Not according to ebay prices..considering the completeness and condition. :\

    Edit: although thats just considering the 3 that had sold in the last month or so...

  • FantomexFantomex
    Well, actually... theyve been popping up like crazy in the past 3 months, so maybe the price is dropping. I still wouldnt sell for any less than $80. I saw one hit 150 once. a few at 125. and a ton over 100. But like Frisbee said, lately they have been ending lower. This game always sticks out in my mind. My best find ever. I was looking for one complete for my castlevania collection. Came across someone listed one as new. I didnt think it was really new but i bought it, $15. Sure enough, factory sealed, looked on ebay, two CIB had just ended, one for $102 and one for $125. I had no idea they were worth anything and here i am with a $15 sealed one. Looked back, she still had one listed for $15. bought that one too. Sealed. Asked her how many more she had and how much she wanted. She had 19 more. She wanted $200. So i paid $230 for 21 Factory sealed Castlevania II for GB. A made a ton of money from that. I still have 3 left
  • TheFrisbeeTheFrisbee
    Wow, my bad man. You are far more knowledgeable on the subject than I figured. image

    Very nice find BTW!
  • FantomexFantomex
    Well like you said though, lately they have been hitting lower or around $80. But i would sell. Im pissed though because a 10/10 Castlevania II CIB was one of the games i traded to NOFRIENDO for that SNES Kiosk. Which turned out to be a piece of shit. I woulda never traded that game if i knew it was going to turn out like that
  • TheFrisbeeTheFrisbee
    Yeah that sucks man. Chad and I were pretty good friends, it sucks that things turned out like that.
  • udisiudisi
    I've seen legends get to $80-$100 plus but CVII isn't that bad, I still think $40-$50 is fair, I've seen them every once in a while creep up, but average is still more $40-50ish
  • FantomexFantomex
    i have yet to ever see legends go bellow $125. Except the one i got on amazon. Auction on ebay i have never seen one go lower than $125. Legends is more rare than Dracula X. As a huge castlevaia fan i watch these all the time hoping to get a second one. Dracula X you can buy any day CIB for $100. Its always on. Legends you hardly ever see.
  • udisiudisi
    Legends is tough, yeah I don't see a CIB much below $100 if at all. CVII is what I was mainly talking about.
  • Blast HardbodyBlast Hardbody
    Ahh well, I only paid $5 for my CVII, so I guess I don't mind I sold it a bit cheaper than everyone else image



    Now I need to rebuy them :S
  • FantomexFantomex
    Yeah well since we are on the topic of castlevania. I am always looking for castlevania stuff. weather its games, boxes, soundtracks, figures, guides, Promos, imports, I collect anything castlevania, even if i already have it.

    do you have a sealed copy of circle of the moon for the GBA?
  • FantomexFantomex
    no do you? if you do then gimmie... gimmie gimmie!!!!

    Belmont's Revenge CIB is one of my last needs as a game collector (I'm at close to 600 games, all complete, all black label) I finally gave up before and bought the Japanese version complete, but I want the U.S. version. There was a sealed one that went for $50 the other day that made my mouth drop (probably sold within minutes of being listed) while just days before that I bid $148 and got outbid on a CIB. It's a frustrating game to get complete to say the least. I am amazed at what Fantomex was able to pull off getting like 20 sealed copies for $15 each!! That is awesome, probably the best score I've ever heard of. I'd be happy just finding 1 complete for less than $100. On top of that I need Turtles III Radical Rescue, which is hard as hell to find complete as well.



    I had the same problem a year or two ago with Ninja Gaiden Shadow, you just could not find it complete. I finally landed one that got listed for around $40 (the European version, which is identical to the U.S. version) Original Game Boy games can make a collector go nuts if they insist they be complete like I do. (unless you have fantomex's luck apparently. image  )
