Zelda MM Gray is $1500 and Test Cart is just as rare if not rarer.  Prototypes are 1 offs and aren't good comparables at all.

Also, last Wideboy went for $700 if you want to use that as a comparison.  There's a GBA / GBC Wideboy too, the GBC is even rarer and would likely go for much more.

 
Kinda off topic, but when the hell did MM Grey get so expensive? Before I quit Video game collecting it was only like $700/$800, maybe $1000 at the most.

I had the same issues with uploading images, go to your profile and add your pics there. So go here first - http://nintendoage.com/index.cfm?FuseAction=My.Images

Then choose NEW IMAGE, add your pic, once it shows in your gallery it says OPT next to your pic, click that first, click on the second option which says - HTML IMG Code

Copy that code, go back to your original post, click edit - then copy and paste the link. First time it will show as a HTML link, click edit again and the pic will show save your changes and its done.

I think its a slight coding issue on the edit script.

I think you mean the AGB model wideboy is the rarer of the two. Wouldn't a one off prototype be the rarest item of all therefore commanding the highest of prices? I'm not complaining about the price, heck I just bought a prototype for $5000, I just find it amazing that these tests carts go for more than a 64dd plus a list of titles to go with it.


I'm right with you on having spent absurd amounts of money for protos. Protos being rare in general do not always in return mean valuable. The markets for both are to wild for a 1 to 1 comparison.
