Seriously? I hate to break it for you, pretty much anyone spending $500, let alone $1000 (or nearly $2000 in your case) for a cartridge, of any kind, is a "Crazy Collector".
I see about 5 WTB people (some people made multiple WTB threads) since the WTB forums was spun off (2013) for Zelda MM Gray, and 3 for the N64 test cart (one is you).

There's a lot of N64 collectors, and there are only so many grails in N64. Sculptors Cut CIB, some rare variants (BB Rampage / Tarzan), Zelda MM Gray, N64 Kiosk and this N64 test cart. Of course there is going to be demand for it.
I find some comments in that 3rd thread particularly interesting:
June 7th, 2013:
"Assuming the cart is super Minty (talking about Zelda MM Gray) I'd go as high as $500. But again, $1000+ is just stupid." - level42
Which, btw, you just paid $1850 for.
And now, you are saying (about N64 test cart): "I think $500-$600 is a fair amount, but 700-1000$ I would not go there. I'd rather wait."
If you can't find the irony in these comments I don't know what to tell you. It's like Deja Vu, don't say I didn't warn you.
