toptenmaterial Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 I just got an N64 and damn I want to play this game. Some of the prices for loose carts are really high. What's reasonable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nonameo Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 (edited) It really just depends on how badly you want it. It's high right now because of christmas and it's almost tax refund season. So it will be going up even more as people get their checks. Summertime is the time to buy. You should be able to reasonably get a cart for $40 shipped or so in fair condition on an online forum. Don't buy it on amazon if you're trying to save money though. their prices hike the highest of all the marketplaces during the holidays and tax season.

Tanooki Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 I'd agree with that. eBay would be best unless you can farm one out locally from someone who doesn't think the inaccurate VGPC or the amazon listings are reality. A fair low to high price on one would be $35-45 shipped with a good to great label either players choice or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glazball Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 Jeez, it's insane MK64 sells for $40 or so. It has to be one of the most common games on the N64. My brother-in-law and his family still have their N64 (and Gamecube and Wii) games under the tv gathering dust (decent games like MK64, Mario Party 3, etc) and every time I go over there, I always want to ask if he still wants it. They are literally smothered in dust. I don't think he knows he's sitting on a goldmine if people are willing to pay $40 for MK64! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briwayjones Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 If you have a local Goodwill store check it out. Maybe you'll luck out and they'll have a copy. Probably about $3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myself I won't pay more than $20 for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanooki Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 It's demand entirely. Despite the fact there's an overkill amount of copies, plus it can be fired up legit (or not) in various other ways too, people pay up a bit too much on it. Same can be said for even the older 8/16bit Mario branded and Zelda branded titles, some of the most released games on the system. We're in an age where the .50 cent forever packin SMB+Duck Hunt stupid people will easily pay $15+ for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punisher5.0 Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 We're in an age where the .50 cent forever packin SMB+Duck Hunt stupid people will easily pay $15+ for. Remember when Funcoland sold it for 1 cent? I'm sure I have one of their newspapers floating around somewhere and that was the cheapest game.

eightbit Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Ya it's demand not rarity for sure. Myself I won't pay more than $20 for it. Agreed. I see these at flea markets and game expos for around that or less. Last one I saw was $15. It's not like the game is "rare" (Nintendo made a LOT of their flagship games!) but it is just desirable because the teeny boppers remember playing it when they were babies 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TaskenLander Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 (edited) Just buy THIS one!! http://www.ebay.com/itm/Mario-Kart-64-/182435092524?hash=item2a79fa982c:g:SYwAAOSw241Yil0X EDIT: Don't REALLY buy that one, though.

Grig Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 At least it is free shipping. And brand new (which means never opened)??? it's a pic of a loose cart. But my favorite is: Description: 1996 even though their page is HUGE and goes on and on blah blah blah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
