Any idea what this is worth?  There's a price sticker original on the side that reads $59.97
the seal on the front says parents choice 1992

Or should I just keep it for the next thirty years and see what happens.

I'm not out any money, I spend more on a coffee at starbucks.  lol

anyway, feel free to make suggestions and offers.

I can't see it being worth too much sealed. The cart goes for about $5. It's definitely worth a lot more than $3. You'll make a tidy profit from re-selling it.

Nice find dude.

-------------------------
I am searching for the following SNES manuals:
- Sunset Riders    - TMNT IV: Turtles in Time      - Total Carnage
- Utopia                 - Final Fantasy II
Please PM me if you have one or all of them for sale. While I like nice condition, I am interested in anything 7/10ish up.

^ Loose games & sealed are two different animals. That being said, I have no clue what's its worth. But for $3 you can't go wrong.

If the cart isn't desired, I don't see why it being sealed will suddenly make it $150 dollar item.

If I have to guess, I say it worth about $50-60.

Nice find dude, that's a steal. If you are looking to flip it, It's probably worth about as much as a mint CIB. My guess would be 30-40 bucks. I'm not a sealed guy, maybe these are rare?

i'll buy all your less desired sealed titles for $5 all day.

just because a game is less desired some times will make a sealed title that much harder to find, if the game sucks, and no one bought it there's that many less to find.

look at Coolball on Gameboy for example

3 Ninjas blows and is $10.  Sealed it would break $1000

Sorry, but your logic can be proven wrong by quite a few titles.

Awesome find for $3. I can't figure out how to play Sim Earth... But the strange music and the odd sensation of controlling an entire planet is fascinating to me... I can sit there and just play it for hours...

I'm really not basing this number on hard sales data but I would say around $50. It's relatively cheap CIB and I imagine it was produced in large numbers due to the popularity of simulators at the time.

Still a very good find.

Good job dude-ette (no one else seems to have caught that.)

Who can really say what it's worth. Some cheapy carts aren't worth squat sealed, others are worth a heap of cash too. I'd do some research if you're going to part with it.

I knew when I posted that second comment people would reply with some exceptions. Of course, there are many. Sim Earth isn't one though, is it?

I agree that sealed games and carts are two different ball games, but I also stand by my original post.

And I also stand by the statement that this was an awesome score. You'll definitely make some money flipping this is you so chose.

On another note, I think Mr.Nintendo misinterpreted what I intended. I never said anything about $5 sealed games, though I got my F-Zero Player's Choice for $3.99 off Ebay.

Sealed is a weird and very different animal. Im honestly not sure what it would be worth.. Certainly more than 3 bucks. I offered a sealed Batman Returns for SNES here on NA for weeks at 75 bucks and had ZERO emails about it.. I listed it on ebay and got $182.50.. So, its really hard to say what its value would be. 50-60 bucks seems about right though. But I wouldn't be shocked if you got more out of it.
