I know this was discussed a while back, but I haven't seen any updates on this. I have a 3-Screw Gyromite. It appears to be a US one. This is the only one I have ever seen in person. Is there any value to this? I am preparing for the Pittsburgh Retro Convention and I am debating on whether to sell this and get a 5-Screw Gyromite or just keeping this. I'm trying to find level of rarity and estimated value. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

​I'm also wondering if it's just a fake label. The Nintendo seal seems to be pretty far in when it's usually hanging closer to the right edge.

I've seen these before. Sellers on eBay always say "5-SCREW!!!!" because they know people are looking for the Famicom adapter inside a small portion of the 5-screw carts.

You'd probably need some of the variant regulars to pipe in on this one. I know it was around $50 for a few years, not sure if it's moved either way lately.

Actually, I'd wager most have no idea why they're saying "5-SCREW!!!" in their listings.

I definitely could be high or low as I'm no authority but my guess would be in the $75 range. There was a 5 screw Jaws on ebay earlier in the week that sold pretty quickly for $75 and that has about the same number of known copies as 3 screw gyromites. These are rare but it's a fairly niche item.

I don't follow closely but I'm pretty sure they're well over $100 now.
