Guys!  Guys!  Guys!  I just found a turd SEALED NIB and it's in MINT condition!  What's it worth?!

Why people whine that we are retards trying to massively reduce the price of the game at the expense of the seller? And why are they afraid to go into a no-reserve 0.99 one week auction?

If someone on NintendoAge offered you $300, you should probably take that.  Beamer is closer with his $150 estimate than you are with your $350 estimate. 

Agreed! I don't watch ebay prices incredibly closely, but, I've never seen Dragon Slayer sell for $300 or more (CIB seems to be selling for ~$100 recently).

I just don't think that there is enough popularity for the series (or even perceived rarity) to drive that price that high).  Plus, the game really isn't that rare.  E.g., I bought a shrink wrapped copy just a couple of years ago for about $40.  Prices seem more inflated now, but I would think that $150 would be the high end for a shrink wrapped copy (unless you find someone crazy enough to pay more... such as $300).  I really doubt that a no reserve ebay auction would go that high.

I believe it was $59.95 new. It's probably worth less by now though since it's not technically brand new anymore.

This is actually my line of thinking with buying new "old" games.  If brand new, I'm willing to pay up to original retail price if it's a game I really want.  Of course that doesn't take into consider scarcity and other factors, but generally that's my attitude.

Hey I'm a collector first businessman second.  If I can make a quick buck why not? 

What's wrong with that? 

However there are some games I have that I will not part with for almost any price (I say almost b/c there comes a tipping point where money can buy anything "Everyone has a price" as Ted DiBiase would say)

You can make a quick buck selling plasma and semen. How noble are those acts?

As noble as noble gets, of course

It's because they know they aren't going to get the rediculous price they want.

Look, I'm just trying to get a decent value on this. I already own 2 Sealed NIB turds with just one sealed bottle of urine. I want a fair price for this or a decent trade.

But seriously, if you want a value on it do as suggested, put it on ebay for 7 days at 0.99 and see what you get.

I don't know what you're talking about. . Shrink wrap easily adds another $550 or so in value to any thing. For example, a used VHS copy of Pretty Woman is worth about 50 cents to a dollar. . add some shrink wrap to it, and you've now easily got a treasure worth about $550.50 to $551.00.

It's simple science really

Can I just have the shrink wrap? I'll give you £1 . Shipped.

Oh i see
ill stick to the used complete copies for my part. I even saw video games stores that re-shrink wrap old games to sell them as brand new one. i dont trust brand new anymore since then (except if it just came out), if its used and complete i'm fine with it.

I heard some Gamestop stores do that, sell used copies by re-shrink wrapping them.  Although, they aren't technically "used," since all they did was take off the shrink wrap.  But still, I'm a hardcore collector, and I don't like anybody tampering with my copy! 

I used to own a game store and had a professional shrink wrap machine.  It is possible to make it look brand new. 

As for a brand new copy of Dragon Slayer, I think the OP should just put it on Ebay as an auction to let the folks on there vote with their bids as to its true value.  I highly doubt it would sell anywhere your perceived value price.
