Just found this on CraigsList so picked it up for $30. I think I made out pretty well.

I think for now I'll just hang onto it. I was thinking about collecting all of the Zelda NFR games, and making a custom shadowbox surrounded by a triforce and whatnot, but I'm not sure. Perhaps in the future I will sell it.

I've read a couple posts in the past few days, not sure if it was on here or another website, that said earlier in the year two copies had sold, one for $900, and one for $1200. The only one on eBay right now is at $650, down from it's initial $820 they wanted, and still hasn't sold, so getting a good benchmark on a price for it isn't very easy. If it's true that a few sold earlier in the year for that much, and right now it's down to $700 - $800, I'm hoping it will go back up in price.

I'm never lucky, and I think besides those finds there, my best find was finding 'Shin Megami Tensei - Devil Summoner: Raidou Kuzunoha vs. The Soulless Army' at a pawn shop in a "3 for $10" deal. The NFR cart was something I didn't even know I was looking for until I found it, and I can guarantee I will never find another great find like that again. It just blows me away that somehow it managed to make it's way to a little shop in the middle of a run-down city, and I'd love to know how it came to be but I don't think I ever will.

Great grab and smart move blacking out bits of the label and receipt, not that you had to but if it is that kind of a gold mine, keep it to yourself.

Wow I never knew they had a grey version of majoras mask, I barely know anything about n64. I mainly collect news and snes, n64 is not my era.
Nice find though!

Cabanon, neither copy up on Ebay is mine. Not planning on parting with it for a while ^^.

ColdStatic, shoot me a PM and we can talk price. I don't have any attachment to SSSV.
