Is there someone who can place value on this? New and Sealed.

Uh, it's only worth the cost of shipping. I will pay it and throw $50 for your trouble.  

Not sure on price, but I know these are a pretty penny.

Yeah, those don't come up for sale very often. One of the grails of NES accessories.

Open box but CIB - $1500
Sealed - $2500

I've been on the active hunt for one. I believe last year I saw a used one with no box sell for around $1000.

No clue on the value, but I have NEVER seen a sealed one before! If people are willing to pay 3k for a sealed contra, this must be worth in that range.

That is presumably a PAL version and most of the box isn't in English. I'm certain that would lower demand.

Yes this one is French. I think France was the only country in Europe these were released in.

As a owner of a nes hands free this is the pal version a little bit easier to come by then the American version but still the holy grail of nes accessories sealed in box is a easy 3-5k to the right collector.
The American version is just a white box with nes hands free printed on the side which is worth about the same as they rarely come up for auction and is such a niche market.

I am sure that I may have missed some listings, but the last loose one I have documented is from 2 years ago, selling at $501 open auction. Last US NIB (open box, but unused) went for $900 in Nov 2015.

I disagree that the French one is more common than the US; I have seen far less of the French version than the non-French. AFAIK the unit/packaging is identical aside from the cover sheet on the French one.
