So I went to the place where I found this game and was prepared to make my offer of $100 just for the "sealed" Dragon Warrior IV.  I had forgotten that I'd picked out a bunch of other stuff too that I wanted just to see what he'd sell for.

So, here's what I ended up with:

LOOSE NES CARTS:
Super Mario/Duck Hunt
Battletoads
Contra
Zelda II
Double Dragon II
Super Mario 3

N64 Zelda Ocarina of Time CIB (Box is pretty beat up)

NES King's Quest V (sealed - I'll post pics of this another time maybe)

NES Super Mario 3 CIB

NES Dragon Warrior V ("sealed")

All for $125.  Even if the Dragon Warrior is a fake, I'm OK with what I paid.

Anyway...here are the pics (note, there is a crease across about 75% of the box horizontally, about 3/4" up from the bottom on the front of the game):

Everything looks legit from what I know and have read.  The seams overlap on the sides, they are not at a 90 degree angle, absolutely no wear on top where the box opens, everything looks perfectly clean inside...

I can take more pics if necessary0

very nice, you did very well for yourself.

If I was you I would open it to make sure it has everything inside, if everything is inside and smells new then it is legit sealed!

Thanks a lot guys!

And this was at a pawn shop where the guy easily has over 300 old games/systems just sitting around, not even on display. A lot of sealed, a lot of CIB, some rares too. He kept telling me he was going to get around to selling them on eBay. I think he was happy with the selling price on this stuff to me, as he said to come back again later in the week and he'd bring everything out for me and he'd cut me a deal on everything. I believe I just found my new best friend

Jeez you lucky dude. I'd love that in my collection. Aside from turtles, DW is probably my favourite. Selling? Just curious. I can't afford it.

Thanks again everyone...I can't even begin to explain how excited I am. I have had a ton of good scores and I've only been collecting for 3 weeks. Part of me thinks it's just beginner's luck and part of me knows it's because I hit as many yard/garage sales as I can, I go to the flea market every Sunday, and I hit up thrift stores and pawn shops anytime I have free time.

To answer the questions: The only thing I know I'm gonna do with it is put this thing with my other collectibles in the safe deposit box. I may keep it, I may sell it, no idea. The only way to know what this thing is worth right now is to let the market dictate, I suppose.
