A sold a nice Fun n Games manual to OCD Steeldor on here a year (or 2) ago.

so what are you saying, those few examples in over the last year plus makes fun n games not really as rare?

i dont know "shags"
are you talking about this CIB that snesfinder won from the guy with the ugly boxes and all of the manuals missing staples with all of his games? i bought one of his CIBs and the guy never took care of a problem with forgetting to describe replaced staples in the manual too!

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=19050...

the manual is the Key to Fun N Games, and it was trash.

i think braveheart's CB went $70?
 
and as for you having "may or may not sold", werent you asking snefinder for 3 rare CIBs in trade PLUS $300 cash for your CIB fun n games last time i heard?
that is a pretty firm price!

yours is/was the last i heard of a CIB and that would still only make 2, putting this right with 3 ninjas as far as hype....

Where did I say that?  You said you've only seen a couple of copies and I mentioned the ones that I remembered off hand.  You don't need to read anything into it.

I didn't remember Javaboy's I'm talking about NA user Shags.  He doesn't collect much anymore (at least not publicly), but he's had a lot of nice SNES / N64 items that he has since sold off. 

As for the last comment, this is why people need to mind their own damn business.  Not directed at you personally, I just get tired of deals being blown out of proportion.  I let it go for him to much less than that, and I never even made an offer that ridiculous.  If he wants to reveal the terms of the trade that's on him.  But it was quite a fair price based on known selling values of all the games involved. 

i never know where people stand sometimes in these 3 ninjas rarity debates, so i asked.
do you agree fun n games is even more rare than 3 ninjas kick back?
i think the actual cart scarcity of fun n games is a dead giveaway.


and i havent talked to snesfinder at all lately and he never said he made a trade, etc.....
so no disrespect, that was the just word on the NA street and then you started talking in mystery so i played into it!

personally i wouldnt see a minty Fun N Games going for pennies when it truly is a rare game, so why not several hundred and a few goodies as trade bait?
it isnt like you can just go to walmart and buy these games for a set low price everyday like everyone wants!

Eh, I'm not going to comment either way.  Until more data is known I'm going to put them on even levels.  Cart rarity doesn't matter IMO, proven by NES.  Games like Samson and Panic Restaurant have rare carts, but their prices don't rival a Chubby Cherub complete.  Not saying that necessarily applies here, just saying that cart rarity cannot always be applied to the CIB.

As far as price, I wasn't that attached to FnG and I even tried selling it around Xmas.  Didn't get any serious offers really, so back on the shelf it went.  When the opportunity presented itself to get a couple of games in trade that were high priority wants for me + a decent amount of cash, I took it.  SNESfinder is a cool guy who's done business with me previously, so I'd rather it go to him for a fair price rather than to some random guy with deeper pockets.  Money isn't everything all the time.

so can you really call any super nintendo game a "holy grail" besides Mountain Bike Rally/ Speed Racer?

one person sees a 3 ninjas box for $1000 on ebay and guess what, up pops a sealed one!
i dont think it took that long at all and who knows maybe he has a case(or 2)....
im sure someone does.

Well we've lost track of how many sealed Hagane's we've seen, and that's still a $150-$200 CIB in Mint shape most likely.  So I don't see one Sealed game of this sending it's value into the gutter.

id say send it to vga, get it graded, and sit on it a few years. cuz the value right now despite whatever people are saying is hard to determine. depending on how minty vga considers it, its still sealed, and that will add value to it down the road.

I mean, this is what i was getting at. MBRSR is a know recall, ultra rare to find cat only as far as im concerned, ive herd there were only 50 copies made? maybe i herd only 200 were made elsewhere? not really sure anyway, but subtract the ones that were destroyed and that leaves....very few. thanks christ for that case  of 16 fresh sealed that was picked up at NoA. looks like most of them went to NA members, making it seem way less rare then what it really is. still 1000$+ i still havent been able to pry one out of some members here, or the VGA 85 one.

I'm glad people are finding 3 ninjas at goodwills and such. I've been looking for 4 years now and still want a copy. Someone PM me and sell me theirs.

I dont think mbr/sp is any where near a holy grail, 

but arguing over what is rare and whats not, is beating a dead horse. ive always said any item is only worth what someone is willing to pay. just like the nwc carts it not worth more than a few hundred dollars to me, but others are willing to pay 20 thousand . which to them is worth it.   plus its nice to see people complete collections  but in reality it doesnt make them any more special or better than anyone else. I dont sit on here and ooo and ahhh because of anything anyone has  . i happy for a person when the achive a goal, but im not impressed by any item or collection, including my own.

Just to set the record straight and to stop people from bothering me

I DO NOT HAVE A CB COPY OF THIS GAME!

The copy you seen on Ebay was my brothers copy, I've seen it, but it's like an hour and a half away from me.

Can people stop sending me offers, thanks you!

You can contact my brother through this link:

Although from what I've heard it's in the process of being sold so he won't have it for much longer.

I always knew Ninja Warriors was the expensive sealed title ...

The sealed 3 Ninjas Ive seen have all sold in between $100 - $200

i heard this guy wants 8 grand now. is that true?

Super true yobo, 3 Ninjas sealed has always sold for $100-$200. Personally I have a $300 bounty for a sealed one if anyone would like to sell.

If we're talking sealed I think FnG is much rarer.

actually...

12K or b/o is more like it.

..fuck my life

lol. I'd offer $350 for it. It would be the record by $150 for one sold AFAIK.

I hate people like this.

$350 seems a little high...

12,000 lol you fixing to buy a car or something? what are you going to do with ALL that money? I say you open it and raise the price to $13,000.

"i appreciate everyone here telling me this is worth $300, i think i'll try my hand on ebay instead at 40x that number, thanks everyone!"

Here is where i find collecting very funny.If I had another complete copy or a sealed copy unti more are found i would ask for a lot. Why is ok to think the surprise at dinosaur peak sealed game the nolands sold was worth a ton of money.and this game isnt. who is the all knowing expert who says each game is worth this or that. If this were my game i would have it graded and it seems to written in stone here grading a game increases the value 10 fold or more. so he should get it graded and list it for 25 thousand. I myself think game grading is idiotic, but i dont begrudge anyone who does it. I would never buy a graded game,

the whole fact is there is nothing wrong with asking for a ton of money, Im actually glad if there are tons of cib or sealed 3 ninjas, they should start coming out of the woodwork and we can all have a copy.

^ you're missing the point (at least of most of the posts above yours). Guy comes on here asking for values, seemingly having no idea what he had, NA members opine on value, and he ignores it and prices it retarded. He can do whatever he wants, but it does seem quite hilarious how he did it.

Exactly. He admits grabbing it from a thrift store so you know it was cheap, and he has exactly one post on this forum. Simply to ask what collectors thought it was worth. Don't waste our time if you are going to price it at an obscene value in the first place.
