Rose Colored Gaming LE release
Not sure how much this bad boy is worth, might be looking to sell it, don't know if there is alot of desire out there for it.
Does anybody have any insight to how much something like this is going for.

The edition of the game is brand spanking new and AFAIK they may make more without any deviation from the first printing.
I'll agree that they are damn fine looking but it will not have gained much value this soon.
Agreed with Blue, because it's small run the cost was already way too high to start with. So I don't foresee this appreciating, more likely it will drop in value.
Hope you didn't buy a bunch thinking you were going to retire.

technically it would be a resell as im wondering if i should sell it soon after receiving, But I'm not doing it as a business, nor was it my intention to sell when i bought it. I bought the item before i had a mortgage . Now im wondering whether it's worth holding onto or i should use it to releive some financial stress.
To me it would be like autograph collectors collecting each other's autographs.
Sure it might look pretty but it isn't a real game because it wasn't produced during the lifespan of the system.
That being said the only opinion that matters is that of the highest bidder. If the set sold out with an $X price tag then you have to assume you could get a bit more now that it is sold out.

Homebrew games are no more or less legitimate than modern vinyl records and bootleg vinyl records.
There's clearly a market for them, but just because they're not from the period, it doesn't mean that they are somehow inferior or less legitimate
If you want to collect only official work that's fine but it doesn't mean that non-official work is inherently less respectable

I'll go with that first assement but not with the conclusion.
I think some would argue that bootleg records are less respectable than official releases.
There may be a market for both bootleg records and homebrew games but I have a hard time understanding either one. Not that it matters what I think. If I was the seller I'd go with the price the highest bidder was willing to pay not what I myself would say it should be valued at.

That is fine. You are paying for what I would call fair use. It does has a value based on what it was intended for and the work that went into it. What it lacks is a historical value that some collectors look for which causes items to appreciate..
A baseball signed by Babe Ruth while he was alive even if it is beat up and looks like crap has a real historical value.
A brand new ball covered in 24k gold that looks amazing with black print and a nice preprinted signature in a fancy case with a plaque in a wooden stand also has value for what it is.
Such a baseball looks good on the shelf and I'll give you that. But as a collectors item the resale is limited to about what you paid for it because it lacks historical significance. It is knock off. A pretty knock off but a knock off.
If I had to put a (realistic) price on it around here? Maybe half what you paid...?
IMHO... Timewalk did releases for both the games included and were nicer then this and fit into the SNES library much better in their forms. This is a novelty/specialty release with a high price point that'd be more of a "focal" point for specific Zelda/obscure collectors (or just guys with $ burning in their pockets I guess).
You could try tossing it on Ebay and see if you'll get anywhere close to what you have invested in it. That's probably what I'd do in your situation.

We get it, it's not for everyone... no one forced any of y'all hating on this to click the thread title and come in here and spout your crap. Go troll reddit or something, leave those of us who have an interest in these things in peace.
If that was directed at me my points are only directed at the OP on why this cart hasn't increased in value since he bought it. You guys are free to spend your money anyway you want. If you enjoy buying reproductions keep doing it.

I don't see anything malicious in what buyatari wrote, if that is who you are referring to. So to throw the ball back into your court I would ask, "Why do the same pro repro come into threads and spout their 'Repros are the best' propaganda over and over?"
People are free to collect whatever they like, however they see fit.
To get back to the OP's question though, I think that the price you can sell the item for will be somewhere between the orginal price, and half of what you paid. It all depends on how many people wanted to buy this item but were unable to do so, due to the item selling out. I think buyatar's analogy to the baseball is a good one, and this item does look quite nice - though it is not something I personally would ever want to own, since I would rather take the beat-up, original time stuff.
Niche items like this can be extremely hard to move, especially at high prices. If you take some time to make this particular item gain an extra appeal to another set of collectors, maybe you can increase the price too.
Yeah people are free to collect whatever they like... on here they're also free to discuss it, without feeling like they're dirty for doing so. There's no need for someone to come in here and start an argument with their vitriol when it's got nothing to do with the topic. And that right there is answer to your "ball back in your court" comment.
I'm not sure if it's just a few of you guys farming posts on here or what (I've been around forums a long time and I know that vaunted post count is an alluring temptress), but anytime a repro thread comes up you can expect 3-4 people to always chime in with their 2 cents when it has nothing to do with the conversation, just as an excuse to put down stuff they themselves (obviously, we get it) aren't into. It'd be like me harping on Stadium Events threads every time I see them posted.

Lol, so where exactly in this thread did someone say that folks buying "repros" are dirty for doing so? Buyatari made a nice comment about the article in question, and it wasn't anti repro or anything like that at all. So I am completely lost by your initial comments, which imo seemed to be looking to pick a fight.
Post it in Price Check and ask for an opinion and you might get one.

These aren't homebrew games.
I completely understand why people pay for unlicensed homebrew games.
But this is a case of people paying a lot for reproductions/bootlegs.
Totally different thing.
PS -- sorry, should have looked at the date to recognize the previous post was a necro-bump...

What I had originally typed but wasn't sure. I knew it was up in that range though.

We sold the remaining leftoevers for 499 last week. In all honesty, that's what we should have charged based on our invenstment in the project. Those things were ludicrous. I don't think we'll even consider a project of that scope again for a while.
