I messaged the guy and apparently Little Samson he is selling for $2,000 and the Flintstones 2 - $3,100 CAD



Not bad for some of you U.S. folks to take advantage of the foreign exchange.

    Seems suspicious to me that he has almost every rare game CIB and puts no effort in his ad to sell them. All he writes is "not cheap, like new". He is probably just showing off or trolling.

    I have to agree, its like to neat ....

    $3,100 for Surprise at Dinosaur Peak is way too much judging by recent auctions.

    He did say it was in Canadian Dollars. So it's more than likely a bit easier on the wallet converted to US Dollars. Although if we're counting the 1 day fire sale auction, or all the Chile copies. Well that's when it seems a little steep, but it might be the new price point now.



    Edit: It comes out to $2,458.19 US Dollars.

    Highest completed I'm seeing is a hair over $2,000

    Open eBay auction, and ended $500+ less than what this seller is asking.  Seems overpriced to me.



    Like you've mentioned, there are Chilean copies still flooding the market, one of which just went unsold at $1,700.  If we're talking about new price points, the title would be on the decline and not the rise IMO.

    I know of a few private sales that have gone past ebay's price points. But the private sales usually go for more, for most games it seems. I also have seen a lot of skepticism from people toward the Chilean copies coming in. Part of people swapping the Playtronics versions into more "pure" NTSC copies, or the relabeled backs swapped off. So it might push the price point higher for fear of "fakes" or unpure NTSC copies coming in.

    Has to depend on condition too though, most of the F2s I see are pretty worn. If someone has a Near Mint / Mint F2 CIB they want to sell, I'd make a legit offer.

    Those games belong to a guy who runs a shop in belleville ontario know as P Market. He also runs a booth at a flea market in the ottawa area.



    Unless someone else stole these images for their own use, they do exist and are in the hands of a game selling shop. If hes serious about moving them, theyll appear on his ebay page at some point.
