one popped up on my local craigslist, owner is asking $1000, is that accurate? can anyone chime in?

Fake dont get it...... runs off to buy it!

I might be selling my Snap station if you are still interested, of course you will have to come and get it lol!


Snag that test cart and show us the money!

Yes I think so,one just sold last month or so for $912 and some change on ebay.I'm actually currently looking for a test cart ,the yellew Zelda test carts are one of the most sought after ones by collecters.

Iv got one and the most iv been offered is 700 so I dont think 1000 is accurate. Probably would sell for a little bit lower or maybe higher depending on condition.

I thought somebody here sold one for 55k?

whats the difference between the test cart and the proto?

The prototype was a one of a kind, those test carts are the same as the regular zelda game but with a yellow shell...i think.

A game sold for 55k? As in 55,000 dollars? Why? I know its a proto.. but why?

It included a real triforce

One of a kind, started the Zelda franchise as we know it, once owned by Howard Phillips (although that was unknown at the time of the sale), all of the above

Test cart is not worth 1K I'd say $800-$900 in Nr Mint condition...

Well that's what I've heard people say, but there is no actual record of that sale so the price my or may not be truthful.

Correct.

Haha it was my sale, it's truthful. The sale is recorded on eBay...

Minus I believe you, I just remember there being some controversy over the item being paid for and if the final price was accurate.  Maybe people were joking I have no idea.

Looks like it made it's way to eBay:

$55 shipping? What kind of BS is that.

It just makes me laugh when people say that...nothing personal

Yeah, it's even $50 shipping inside Canada. That is stupid.

That is a nice copy though, need more pics but damn. Already a bid...looks like I will be proven wrong

Bid by a user with 2 feedback...

For those of you saying the shipping is too high, he said that it's highest quality tracking with signature and he'll refund what's not used for shipping

Every time one of these rare as hell games shows up it's always by a seller with less than 10 feedback

^ It's funny how that works. Even funnier when they're a random Jane or John doe that knows nothing about games or their values, but somehow know what to charge for extremely rare games/variants like this one.

I do know that sometimes people tend to not use their primary account when selling rare things like this though. I never did understand that frame of thought.

Guy ended it to sell for $950, even tho he had bids on the auction and it would have sold for more

Agreed. Shipping is getting out of hand. I just shipped something to Canada, and it was over $43 for a generic box of games, not even that large/heavy. With insurance, delivery confirmation / tracking, signature on receipt, etc, it can get insane in a hurry. And with something like that, you want good protection for both buyer and seller.

That's something I *HATE* about Ebay : The shipping charges rating system. I typically charge like $3.99 for shipping on a game, and it's priority mail small flatrate, so I lose money on the shipping, yet I get downranked on the shipping charges.

Ebay is trying to push their new "Ship Internatinal" feature, they copying amazon where you ship to their corporate and they "take care" of the rest
