I used to troll michigan craigslist on occasion with a long winded post about the rare Mario / Duck Hunt with no label I found, that I once saw on Storage Wars for a million dollars. I usually find it under a home made shelf in a garage, as a support device, or in an old bag of shitty diapers on the side of the road, in my moms sock drawer because god made the dresser vibrate, etc.

Its all good fun for a bored old man poking fun, but sadly, a great many local collectors with low IQs (I'm looking at you Dallas S.) Are convinced that my shenanigans are genuine. The email responses are very passive agressive, and extremely humorous.

i highly recommend it. Gods, It's been years, but it's so rewarding

If you're specifically seeking out CIB with someone who knows what that means, then yeah, you'll get the originals. But a random cart, box, manual Rad Racer is often missing the glasses, or has a substitute.

I think it's kind of like Arkanoid. You can find carts all day, but the controller is harder to come across, even though (if I'm not mistaken) they all shipped with it.
Exactly!  If you're buying everything truly factory complete, then no, they're not "rare" at all.  But to find them randomly, in the wild?  With the correct glasses in them?  Oh yeah, that's pretty exceedingly rare.  Pretty much every pair of those black plastic glasses that I saw kids pull out of the boxes ended up bent/broken/crushed/mangled/etc. and thrown away, usually within a few weeks of the game being opened and played with.

Per your example, tons of people have Arkanoid, but the vaus is considerably rarer.  Not rare at all to someone who kept everything factory fresh over the years, or to someone who bought a copy CIB.  But during a random flea market/Craigslist/game store pick up?  Fate is pretty much against you coming up with it.

Rad Racer CIB w/ 3D glasses ... "RARE"

This one I'll argue with you a bit on, as other than factory fresh, I've only ever seen one CIB Rad Racer which actually had the glasses.  A few that had the box and manual and a couple that had cheap, incorrect 3rd party glasses in them, but only a single one (about a month ago) that had the actual Nintendo glasses.
 
What 3rd party glasses?
Any random blue/red lensed 3D glasses. Like these:

Exactly.  The ones that actually came with Rad Racer were black and some sort of plastic (and never paper, not that I ever encountered when friends bought and opened the game factory fresh, anyway), but you'll often find people stuffing the box with any sort of generic white paper red/blue 3D glasses and claiming that it's as Nintendo shipped it.

I swear whose the asshole that started this stupid trend thinking that by typing RAREZ on your listing will give it a higher chance of selling.
It actually does make a difference. Items with "rare" in the title sell for more on average, but not just video games.
