The troll on the box is really f'in rare, I had 3 boxed copies come through my hands and never with a troll. I'd say a CIB is probably right around $25-30, most of the unlicensed games have fallen sharply over the past year.
Hmm, interesting. Didn't know about this. What exactly is "the troll on the box"? Did they make different box fronts and one version had a troll on it? Or are you talking about something that was "attached" to the box?
Take a look at the box. There should be holes punched in the bottom. There was a little troll doll attached to it with a piece of plastic tied through the holes. Finding a copy that the troll is attached to is tough to do, and is all but impossible without finding it sealed.

I did find a CIB copy with the troll at a store like 10 years ago Some shelf wear at the top but otherwise pretty mint. How much do these fetch with the troll?
Well the hard Rad Racer glasses are in the $125-$150 range and those were mailaways only and quite hard to find. The super hard to find mail away Faria map is also $150-$200 if I recall. So there's absolutely no way in hell a troll that came with the game originally would add $400-$500 to the price tag.
I'd compare it to the moster found in the Monster in my Pocket CIB. For awhile there the figure alone was going for $100, not sure if it still does. I'd say the troll would be no more than $100, and I even think that'd be a high estimate for it.
Are there any marks to distinguish a NES-troll from a normal troll? Because there were about a million of the regular trolls made... I know because my mom used to collect them at one point when I was growing up.
There was a discussion about this before. And yes, I thought of buying a troll just to make it complete. But, the troll does have special features and size (at least, I couldnt find any on ebay and I searched for 3 weeks)

While those items are rare they aren't required to have a complete copy. So not everyone would care. If the troll came with the game then it is required to make the game complete.

He did make a valid point with the reference to monster in my pocket which did come with a monster...
I think I'd have to agree that since it came with the box originally, you need one to consider your CIB a "complete". The yellow Rad Racer glasses and the Faria map weren't. I'd be curious to see what a Faria map goes for now, as I don't think one has sold in a while? I sold my extra last year about this time, but not sure if one has publicly changed hands since.

i swear there was an auction a few years ago around 2007 with a troll still attached that ended around $550 - but my mind could be playing tricks..
I want to say it was 500 even. I was the buyer.

There was definitely another around that time that also ended for about $220 as well.
