Ok, just picked this up in a big lot of strategy guides and haven't had any luck finding info on it. Was told this is where the people who know are. Looking for a current value so I know where to price when selling.

Here's a few more pics

It's in pretty solid shape.

If you want a quick sell, $30 and it'd go pretty quick.

Could go as high as $50-$55 in my opinion, but I don't really collect strategy guides.
 

Your way off on this. $175-$300 being how nice this looks $300. 

 

I'm sorry to say Santa, but you're a little off.

This guide has sales of around $300 consistently. It's in pretty good shape, so maybe $350-$400 depending on how much the buyer wants it.

HOLY COW!!!

I didn't realize how much guides go for.
I was basing this on what I'd myself pay if I were looking for a companion for a game I had.

I've picked up a few guides over the years, but I've never paid more than $50.


Doesn't the game itself only go for around $80?

You guys have taught me something new today for sure!


 

that one looks pretty nice. I remember having one in a little worse shape that took forever to sell for 400$. I didn't even get more than 100$ offered for over a year before someone randomly bought it for asking price. If your patient, it may take several months at 400$. For a quick sale, anything under 300$ should sell within a month. Guide values have held up along with demand pretty well over the years and there are buyers. Lufia 2 is arguably the hardest snes guide to find, but I beg to differ. I'd put it in the top 5, not the top 3 IMO. They show up about 1-2 times a year.

Which SNES guides would you consider harder to find then this? Tecmo Seceret of the Stars comes to mind.  Some crazy ones only Acidjaguar has
 

Also OP you are about 3 days too late. I was in the market for one of these but have one on the way now.

My best guess would be these ..... 

1. How to Win at Zelda 3
2. AD&D Eye of teh Beholder
3. Tecmo Secret of teh Stars
4. Lufia 2 
5. Virtual Bart 


ETA: If anyone is after a list ...

I see guides for sale for cheap all the time.
Which ones would you guys suggest keeping an eye out for (besides Lufia II)?

Had no idea they could command such a premium.
 

This is the second Lufia II I've seen this week and I know there were more than 5 different copies listed in the last year on ebay too. lol

The How to Win at Playing Zelda III Guide I traded/sold recently for around $250-$300? is harder to find as far as that goes

That list Acidjaguar just posted is pretty good, but he could have mixed any of the Vidiot Boy guides in there too and I probably wouldn't argue

Yeah those Vidiot Boy guides are in the very upper echelon for sure too.  I'd almost replace 3 spots with them

 

Is there a snes specific Advanced Dungeons & Dragons: Eye of the Beholder guide? I have a guide but it seems geared to PC version

Check out the first one on the list in the guide thread I included in a few posts back.  I can confirm a few copies out there.... 
 

yes i have it. Theres a thread somewhere on here.

Shit, you must have added that Zelda 3 recently. I don't recall seeing it when I was more active in the guide scene a year or 2 ago. I was gonna give AD+D the top spot, definitely vidiot boy Zelda, tecmo secret of the stars, and virtual Bart in the top tier. I figured I would never find AD+D, you really think Z3 is harder to find? How many AD/D have surfaced recentley?

I think this is rarer personally but hey thats just me

I had Zelda 3 listed on ebay for a few weeks looking for a good offer or trade and someone here talked me out of it. I was kind of hoping you would reach out because you always have stuff I want and can't afford. lol
 

I'm basing a lot of that ranking of how many are known to me personally.  

I know of 

1 copy of vidiot passcodes
1, maybe 2, copies of vidiot adventurer's
2 copies of the Zelda III book
3 copies of the AD&D guide
4 copies of vidiot zelda
5-7 copies of tecmo secret of the stars
7-9 copies of lufia II
10 (probably more) copies of virtual bart 

Ugh, for Petes sake should have sent a PM! Im not in here as often as I'd like and don't catch everything. I didn't see it on eBay either ?

Since all the guidesmen are present already..

For either Z3 or AD+D, I'd be willing to trade 1 of the only 2 autographed virtual Bart guides known. They are mint, uncirculated author copies. I bought both of them directly from Steve Schwartz and have emails between him and I corresponding that info. 
 

I've seen a lot more copies of Lufia II than that, probably at least 15-20 and I lost an auction for that Vidiot Adventurer's Guide a few years ago before you got yours on the relist
It's really strange that Virtual Bart even gets mentioned becuase it should have been mass produced being a Prima guide, but it has always been hard to find. lol

Did you ever get an Aikman Playbook for a good price?
I've seen it once or twice on ebay since I found that one and there's always been like 3 or 4 copies on amazon for $400+

lol. I have a Lord of the Rings and Battletoads autographed copy from him
Did you pick up those ones too?
 

I got Battletoads for sure, but I don't recall lord of the rings. He had over 10 Battletoads at the time all autographed for like 40$, but he made it a point to mention that he was only given a handful of VB author copies and only signed " a couple " of them. So I'm assuming production was super low on that one. 

Looks like he still has 9 and I know I turned a few people on to them for less than $40, but he sent me one for free because he packed the last copy of Lord of the Rings like crap in a paper mailer and it got folded in half down the middle
He even said he would sign more copies of his books if I sent them to him. lol
