Just found a Nintendo NES Crystalis Clue Book SNK mail order thing...



 


Sorry. Really not trying to spam price check, but I ran across this in a giant lot I got and I don't know that much about paper/inserts. Looks like the last sale was in 2009 for $110 in a NA auction. Any idea on current value?

  • Id say $75 to $100 currently. Nice find!
  • ^this, unfortunately. They are incredibly hard to come by, but the last one at auction crashed head first with a $0.99 no reserve start. Sad day

    Crashed head first? As in it sold for .99c? Holy crap.

    Could you clarify when you say crashed head first? Lol

    It got off the runway.... just made it up about 10 feet and fell out.  Roughly $20 or so



    This was about 3-4 months ago I believe


  • Yeah hint book demand isn't what it used to be. I picked up a Wizardry II hint book about 4 months ago for pretty cheap too, was just sitting on eBay and people didn't see it.

    The Lolo 3 guide used to be closer to $100 too, when I was looking and kept getting outbid.

    I finally snagged one for under $30 shipped and had days to think about buying and even time to make a few offers.



    Looks like the last one sold for $19.99 with a 7 day auction and only had one bidder

    I actually remember Lolo 3 being around $40-50 for a long time.  There was a Lolo 3 CIB + Guide in the $70ish range for a long time as a BIN in an eBay store that no one wanted. 



    Search the first Good BIN thread for "Lolo" and you'll see Balloonfight posting it at $64 in March 2010.  I think that was on a cheaper relist.



    So $100 on that guide would be news to me and just a temporary fluke spike.



    Regardless. I'd like to pick it up myself someday, just don't really search guides anymore.

    I know I lost more than one with snipes over $80 when Gwyndion was gobbling up his copy of everything
  • Regardless of price dip that looks to be a gorgeous example with no cover dis coloring. Nice addition to anyone's collection who doesn't already have it.
  • Yeah. Plus it's a damn good NES game too (which never got a proper sequel), so it's a neat little piece of a collectible.
