well, if it helps, I found TMNT last October for $7
I bought JC with manual on ebay a couple months ago for $45 BIN

I'm guessing you're not interested in parting with Turtles in Time are you?   I've updated my thread with new games. Let me know if there is anything I have that interests you.

oh, I don't have it.  I found 5 games for 7 each, and got rid of them.  I don't have an SNES.

$7 for Turtles in Time?  WOW, that was a great deal.  The cheapest I can find it is for $50, but at that price the cart is usually in pretty bad shape cosmetically.

Ebay = Normally higher prices than you would find locally.

Well, unfortunately all the used game stores here in the Chicagoland area use Ebay as a reference.

I thought I heard People Play Games usually had decent prices?  I've never been there yet but that's what I've heard.  Check all resale and pawn shops too.  I know a guy on Instagram in the Chicago area that scores good stuff all of the time.  This does take patience and many visits to these types of stores (daily).  In any event did you already purchase a Turbo ED or are you going to purchase one?

I plan on purchasing a Turbo Everdrive.

Obviously pricecharting is very flawed and misleading. If you look at what Jackie Chan has been selling for and failing to sell at on eBay lately, it looks like a loose copy is <$60. Minus eBay fees, that's about $50.

I get what you're saying, but I think $50 is low balling the value of the game even after taking inflated online prices out of the picture. 

Here are two loose copies that sold for $90 last year.

Here's one that sold for $80.

I think it's reasonable to say that a realistic value of Jackie Chan is around $70 loose.

They do in metro Detroit as well. I went game hunting with a buddy today and we found a lot of stuff, but everything was priced off eBay. I bought nothing... Its maddening. They all say "on eBay it sells for this" Then sell it there! God...

Every "retro" game store I've visited looks at eBay to figure out pricing. But they all do the collectard "I heard about this console yesterday!" thing and only look at asking prices and then pick the highest one, all while ignoring condition, completeness, etc.

So a game that always sells for $10 - $20 on eBay is $550 at the local shop.

Ohhh I hate that. Hey never look at complted listings or condition/completion as a factor just asking prices how many they see that day being sold for rarity and then lick the higher of the prices.


Makes me want to fart in their general direction.
