See, the variants I dont think would add any value to the type of buyer I'm talking about. To a collector they do but to a person who just wants the whole set I don't think variants would matter much. Also, because of the appeal of a complete CIB set I think it would have the opposite effect. Let me see if I can type what I'm thinking here..... Everyone knows and has pretty much said that if you sold your collection off individually you would make way more money that selling it as a whole. This is a fact. However, with a 100% complete collection I think the opposite would be true. The lot as a whole would bring a premium over all the individual parts because of the fact it is 100% complete and the type of buyers you could intice and draw interest from. All that being said, I think a 100% CIB NTSC collection would bring $50,000. Bryan

Of course the variants add value. Even if you could care less about them you have 2 carts instead of 1 !

You might not care which Donkey Kong Jr Math box you have but having 2 will add value over a set with just 1.

There's a bunch of people our age that have money, Hollywood, sports stars,  Music artists etc...

And a complete set, no work involved.... Pretty nice! ]]> http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=29&threadid=2613 2007-10-01T00:45:00 -05.00 wrldstrman 27 Originally posted by: justabum

I actually disagree with the assessment of people not having the $$$ to buy it in one shot. If we are talking about a complete CIB collection w/ no holes, nothing missing you bring a lot more people to the table as potential buyers. No one has ever tested the waters....or has been able to as far as I know. But if someone were able to offer up a CIB NTSC collection w/ nothing missing you would then incorporate a lot of interest outside the immediate gaming community. Companys, that would like to have it for display, Collectors of anything and everything that have $$$ to blow that would consider purchasing the lot only because it IS complete. Some rich guy that would look at the lot and say to himself "that would be cool to own".

Without it being 100% complete it would be hard to draw interest outside the immediate gaming community, but if it were 100% complete and properly advertised as such, I think you'd be surprised at the people that would surface and make a strong play for "the entire set"

Just my thoughts.

For this reason, I think if everything were in decent enough shape, I wouldn't be surprised to see such a set see $25,000, even a very long shot at $30,000. However, there are more variables to be considered, as well... Frankly, as much as I hate to put a wide range on this sort of thing, I think a CIB near-mint or mint set could bring anywhere from $15,000-$30,000. If I had to narrow it down, I'd probably say right around $18,000-$22,000.

How much would I pay for one? Lol...I don't have the kind of money or resources to even think about it.

Now here's another question...what if it included variants? Athletic World FFF, 5-screw and 3-screw, old seal and new seal where applicable, Rev. 0, Rev. A, Rev. B, etc., -1's, -2's, etc.... How much more would something like *that* fetch? That's another number I can't come up with. ]]> http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=29&threadid=2613 2007-10-01T00:37:57 -05.00 wrldstrman 27

Yeah hard to find buyers with all that cash at once but at least 15k. ]]>
