Platty Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 ok so i just got mario kart for the snes through from ebay, i paid £28 for it. now before you go what the?! you fool!!, let me tell you it is in mint condition, box is perfect and even still has the nintendo seal on one side of the box lid. the inner box is perfect, the intructions seem brand new and it even has the little plastic bag for the game... now on ebay there are mario karts for the snes for £7 cart only.... so was i silly to pay £21 for a box, intructions and a plastic bag ? should i have gone out and got a GC game instead ? or will it sit and look very nice in my ever growning gaming collection ? would you have done the same or do i just have a box fetish ?

Keit Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 You did the right thing A console in mint-condition is always worth a higher price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guaglio Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 i actually think you paid too much, i come accross mint games for far cheaper. Anyway you've already bought it so it dosent matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Android18a Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 I wouldn't pay a fiver, but I really don't like Super Mario Kart :-p Offer me a mint copy of Secret of Evermore or Terranigma, though... I'll get the cash out right away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owen Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 I got a snes Mario Kart game all boxed, with inner tray, instructions and cart in very good condition for about £12 (at least i think it was £12, lol) on ebay about a month a go. The box isn't perfect though, there isn't any defaces but the corners are a little scruffy. HOWEVER mint condition products 'always' hold there value when it comes to sell it later, so your copy if it's perferct would most probably be worth what you paid for it! So your fine!

Maxi678 Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 You did the right thing spending that little bit extra on a copy of Mario Kart. Nearly new as well. Can't say fairer than that can you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dZION Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 my zelda collection is complete!!!! I hope you have the zelda game&watch, otherwise, you still have ome ollecting to do.

Din Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 Sounds ok. I bought Zelda: ALTTP boxed with instructions & Map in perefect condition and has the Nintendo seal on one side of the box for only £5!!! I think I ripped him off! Got Mario Kart in about the same condition as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kav Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 There is nothing wrong with that! I bought Super Metroid at the beginning of the year for £32 and I do not regret that one bit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

www.n64fan.co.nr Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 To be honest I never see the fascination with owning the original box etc. As far as I am concerned, as long as the game works then that’s all you need. I’d rather have paid the £7, then the £27! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solitanze Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 I don't buy old games unless it comes complete with the original box and instructions/maps etc in good structural condition. I don't like just having the cartridge, I like to have the complete package and look at it through the glass casing on my cabinet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
