Well, there's no set price for that kind of rare bird. I was personally surprised to see BellaBlack's 3 screw cart copy sell for just a bit over $50, when we see Donkey Kong 3 screw selling all the way for $35 when it's like ten times easier to find than DK Jr 3 screw.
I would say a nice copy with a Non-Hangtab box would bring $250+.
I think there's only like 5 or 6 known non-hangtab boxes in the hands of NA members. I got one but it's only about a 7.5/10 and I'm not sure if any of them are MINT? Maybe Erik has one...
Yep any DK JR in high grade is worth GOOD money to begin with, and combine with essentially two variants (box and cart are toughies) you've got an easy $200. But it's all about condition.
That said I have a non-mint non-HT DK Jr box for anyone who'd like one on a budget
I have it CIB...I think I was either 1st or 2nd to be known to have one. I had the cart from a random trade at another website (where I'd given a value more appropriate for a 5-screw cart, something like $6, as I had no idea it was rare), and I bought NoFriendo's box for $140 (outbidding several known big spenders in the process). Picked up a 5-screw cart and manual from NGD for $13, and there it was, a CIB for about $160. I'd dare say mine is probably in the best shape of all those that have turned up, or in the top 3 or 4 (easy 9/10, possibly 9.2-9.5/10).
As for a value, if I had one to spare, I'd probably sell it for $200 or so, depending on condition (for a truly mint one, I might try to squeeze $250-$275). Of course with there being only 4 known carts and 7 known boxes (according to what is registered in the odd and rare variants thread), I could easily see one selling (that wasn't mint, even down to a 6/10 condition) for $200+ at standard open auction (by standard, I mean 99¢ opening bid and running 7 days or longer).
I think Seth have a complete one as well in nice condition, I remember the auction and forgot to bid on it, it ended for the advantageous price of $66 iirc. Naturally, this ended at this price cause rare variants wasn't really discussed then as it is now.

Just curious what a fairly minty copy would bring?
Are you currently bidding on one?

Nope.
After the cart only 3-screw went for around $50, it just made me wonder what the matching pieces would go for.
