Thanks for passing. I figured it must have been out there for at least a little while, but I hadn't checked on that game in over a month. The amazing part to me is who the seller is. Discount Games normally doesn't offer anything worthwhile at prices like this.

Not too often, but I snagged a DK Jr. Math manual from him for $4 a while back. He actually has some decent deals on CIB games, now that he sells them that way (and when you hunt common box variations, you can't beat some of his prices).

I actually saw both of those and passed on them. For some reason, I just didn't feel like buying them, even at $4 each. That's one heck of a deal, because that box really is an r9, IMO. You see maybe 3-4 a year.

There's *at least* 1 SE cart a month, think about it. I've been tracking black box games closely for at least 2 years now, looking for variations. It took me 5 months to get an Urban Champion box, and I've only seen a small handful since.

Okay, I believe you Although I will say that due to its high price, I think SE gets traded a lot on ebay. In other words, availability on the market is not the same as rarity. IMO, if a UC box was worth $800, you'd see them waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more. A UC sale won't pay the rent, you know? I know for a fact that raregamergirl bought and sold her SE within a few months. So that looks like two sales when in fact it is one copy. I'm sure that happens all the time with high priced items, and not just in video games.

If I had to guess, if a UC box was worth $800, we'd see a lot more sales of UC boxes. Every month at a minimum, I think.

I'm totally guessing here, I admit that. But you can't discount the role that market price plays in availability. I'll totally believe anything you have to say about this Dain, no question. It's actually kind of cool to hear that its not on ebay much as this game is sentimental favorite for me as its the first of the rarer sealed black boxes I ever found. But I will make the point that its hard to compare the two with confidence when the two items are so far apart pricewise.

All that being said (I like the sound of my own voice ) then I guess an r9 designation is appropriate for now. Be interesting to see what happens to the availability/price over time. ]]> http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=10&threadid=429 2007-02-19T18:33:33 -05.00 brideck 21

You've only seen three or four a year, huh? Interesting.

Definitely a great deal either way.
