It started out at $5 and is already up to $427.22 as of this post. I'm really curious to see what this goes for.

According to the listing and 8BIT youtube video, there are 150 of them produced, with 75 pal, 75 NTSC. and now the 20 he claims are AP editions.
Anyone have any other info about the Ducktales remastered gold?
I do own one aswell, that is an AP edition.

What is the record price for an NES cartridge produced post 1995?
Also
This is an extremely rare item that is a part of the official NES Releases...
official? I don't recall seeing that in the database. Obviously, the contradiction of "promotional item" and "official" don't sync up.
I sold one of these on the board back in Mayish, under $2k, and 90% of people were offering about $500. Only very few were willing to chase it higher than that.
Wonder if this gets paid, I'd guess not.
This is going to 3-4K, isn't it?
Past that now, pretty awesome. I couldnt afford it at $2,000 but $5,000 over night is pretty awesome

Garage Cart.
Where do you stand on this thing? I don't consider it a "real" release, but I've seen people make the arguement.

This Kit initially sold as high as $3.5k publically, then cooled down to about $2k. So depending on whether or not you consider it "real", it has sold significantly above Garage cart already.

Cut and dry in my eyes. It was produced after the lifespan of the system. It can't be an NES cart if it wasn't produced during the lifespan of the system. Goes into the section with all the other aftermarket products. Even if Nintendo themselves produced a new cartridge tomorrow you couldn't turn back the clock just to make it fit into a category that you want it to.
Don't get me wrong it is a great looking product. I have myself but it's not part of the NES library.

Probably Garage Cart. (ignoring other sales of the Duck Tales item)

It is one thing to say it's not part fo the "official game library".
But to say "it can't be an NES cart" is just silly, because that definition is any game that is on a cartridge compatible with the NES, based on function alone.
If legit do you think the claims that some (seller included) have made that this is part of the NES library have any weight on this?
In short, why would someone pay 5k for this? Is it because they love Duck Tales and think this is a great item or is it because they consider this a must have to complete the NES collection?

If you made a newly designed or even an exact reproduction Sherman style tank today in your backyard could you call it a WWII tank?
Sure it is a tank. Looks and even works exactly like the tanks from the WWII era but it's not.

Because two reasons, you hit on one.
A) Ducktales
But still when I sold mine, after Timewalk had already closed its doors, I think there were 3 NA people willing to pay above $800. Everyone else was at the $500 range.
If this does get paid for, I don't see the $5k+ price range sticking.

I don't think that analogy fits.
A new-manufacture cartridge for the NES, is, by definition of its function, "an NES cartridge".
It isn't a "vintage NES cartridge", but it is DEFINITELY an "NES cartridge".
A better analogy, if you want to use tanks, would be to say that new-manufacture parts for a WW2-era Sherman tank, ARE in fact "sherman tank parts" by definition of function.

So the top two bidders in this auction if legit you think are Timewalk collectors?
Wow. Never knew such a person existed.

I think that one of them is almost certainly a shill, and possibly the other is just an asshole.
No way is somebody paying $5k+ on the merit of the game being the "grail" of Timewalk releases.
For example, I'm not a NES completionist and I have no interest in NWC memorabilia. Yet I'd throw some cash at an NWC if it were in a price range I considered good. I wouldn't be buying it because it is a requirement for my collection, I'd be buying it as a nice to have, with an understanding of why it is desirable.
People don't always bid on things just to make a check in the box. They bid on things because of hype, desirability, perceived rarity, etc.

The NES I refer to is an era of Nintendo history which is over. A cartridge can work in an NES era system and still not be an NES era cartridge. Your Sherman tank parts are still not WWII Sherman tank parts. You can say this is a Duck Tales cart if you like. You can say that it works with the Nintendo Entertainment System but that doesn't make it an NES cart.

You did not say "NES ERA cartridge", earlier. You said "NES cartridge".
The two are different things, and you are using them interchangeably.
An "NES era cartridge" is the same as a "vintage NES cartridge", like I suggested earlier.
But ANY cartridge that works on the NES without an adapter would probably be considered an "NES cartridge" regardless of date of manufacture, just because it is a cartridge designed to work on the NES with no other criteria required.
And you're right, those parts wouldn't be WW2-era parts, but they WOULD be "Sherman tank parts".
Just like this IS an "NES cartridge" by definition of its function alone.
If it was considered a requirement, then people could never finish if games just kept releasing from here on out.
Originally posted by: jonebone
Well, the cart contains an actual Ducktales board, so it seems to be an NES cart by that definition. But I can't see anyone considering it is required for the NES set since it came out nearly 20 years after the lifespan of the system.
If it was considered a requirement, then people could never finish if games just kept releasing from here on out.
It contains a new-manufacture Ducktales board, which is the crux of Adam's argument, I think.
I had the impression it was 100% new parts. (the internals definitely are, based on the tear-down photos, don't know about the shell)
And I agree that it isn't part of the vintage "set".

I'll make this easy.
You have an F2 cart from the 1990s and you have an F2 cart made last week.
The ebay auction title reads only - Flintstones 2 NES cart
Is that title accurate for the one made in the 1990s, for the one made in 2014 or for both?
The idea that all NES carts produced during the lifespan of the system now need to furnish additional adjectives to describe what they already are without the adjective is insane. The adjective should be required of those cartridges that do not meet the full definition of what the word is and what it implies.
Duck Tales from 1990 can be called simply an NES cart and be fully 100% accurate without the additional requirement of any adjectives.
The one produced a few years ago NEEDS adjective to provide full discloser that it is indeed not the same as carts produced during the lifespan of the system.
You add an adjective or two such as real or genuine if you feel the need to an NES cart made during the lifespan of the system but you shouldn't have to. The word NES already implies it.
