rarity a lot of times has nothing to do with the price..if its a good game thats fun to play the price is usally always higher.

guess I will grab it it is boxed and comes with 16 games....plus I like yellow
-
Out of games for every system I have only found colecovision games twice in the wild compared to thousands of atari games and thousands of nes games.It might depend on the area but around here except fro the two times Ive never seen at yard sales flea markets auctions in the add paper colecovision stuff...even the three vintage game stores never get colecovision stuff traded in...

cool thanks...they worth anything..

I think it was fairchild ...fair something the tapes were big and yellow and numbered 1...2..3....the tapes were about the size of a eight track.

I want to give a big thumbs up to Jason at trade in games...I bought some games from him and my wife accidently put a 20.00 in with the money order...Upon receving the money order Jason emailed back saying there was a extra twenty in the envelope...I would like to say thanks to Jason I thought that was a very honest thing letting me know...we would of never known that we sent the twenty and he returned it with the games...So once again a big thanks to Jason and trade in games.

If you can take the time to save up some cash you can get great deals on ebay by buying in big lots...it will run a lot up front but in the end you usally get the carts for a lot less than buying them one or two at a time.

thats about what they have been going for it doesnt come up that often..
-
how many games were made for the 64

I think its a numbers game with a lot of people helping..Just like here if you aked all the members who owns cakewalk compared to who all owns frogger you would get a pretty good idea cakewalk was rarer than frogger..So basically for nes you need a lot of input..and of course its harder because there isnt nearly as many rare nintendo games as atari so it would be hard to say where certian games ranked.I think another big difference is compared to atari at this time the majority of nes buyers want the games that are fun to play and usally pass on the rarer games and theres no where near the hardcore nes collectors compared to atari..at this point in time anyway.

I didnt say the rarity guide was based on ebay..But I myself have to disagree on using ebay as a tool to help determen how rare games are..Even if you had the the total of all the production runs that still doesnt tell you how many of that run were destroyed or are still packed away in a wharehouse..Like I said input of people who have and are collecting plays a big part in helping with rarity.A good example is flintstones susprise at dinosaur peak it does show up on ebay a good bit and brings a good price..moon ranger also brings a good price and it hardly ever shows up so if people had it and can sell it for good money more would show up for sale.actually there are quite a few nes games that bring a good price that hardly ever show up on ebay.I dont know where any of the sites got there rarity guides from..I know over the last five years I ve been to probally 400 to 600 yard sales every weekend and I can tell you the games Ive never seen add that together with others in other parts of the country that also hit hundreds of yards sales..and input from those that hit the thrift stores and flea markets and along with ebay it gives a good idea of how rare a game is
I m not trying to saying anyone should use a certian guide I m just saying rarity guides should be flexible and input from the collectors and hunters make a rarity guide more reliable.If you polled 500 collectors/flea market/yard sale hunters and none of them ever came across secret scout I would be lead to belive it was pretty rare and if only 5 or so showed up on ebay it would help to prove that fact.So I think the only way to have a good gauge of rarity is input from those out there getting the games.But this is my sole opinion.

how is his rarity determined? Because there are some wild fluctuations between him and DP and the Etler list.Im not sure how he made the intial list but gamerz has changed the rarity on some games from input.Im not saying its the one everyone should use but the guide is more open to change. if a game is rated a 8 on other sites and it comes up on ebay and other places 5 times more than a 5 rarity game he will make the adjustment.I just think its more active with the input from people. Color a dinosaur is a good example it was listed a nine but since there was a lot of input that it wasnt that hard to acquire it was lowered...I guess I just like the fact it changes and the rarity isnt set in stone.I always thought dusty diamonds all star softball was rare but since january its been one of the games that come up very often on ebay..where die hard and waynes world are harder to get.So I would say its a work in progress but there is a lot of time devoted to the nintendo nes section.
-
actually some of us have been keeping track of nes games and there are quite a few that are mainly just into the nes so there is some good input.Like I said in the above post gamerz is working on the nes section and when finished it should be the best or close to the best for nes...I m sure he would appreciate any feedback on the nes to help build a better nes guide.
-
gamerz universe has a very good nes rarity guide...plus hes working hard to get scans of all the games and theres also a good controller rarity guide.
-
the genesis I got at home has a 149.00 dollar price tag on it not sure when it was purshased.I know my colecovision was 249.00 new when I bought it.
-
actually pa has two of the bigger flea markets I know of....pereolopis and the meadowlands.
-
cool I havent run across any of the 3 in the bottom of the picture yet...did get lucky and found a boxed top loader at a yard sale last summer for 5 bucks.and I will grab up all the contras I find this spring and summer.

Who all seriously collects for the nes...I started collecting about 2 years ago and have a almost complete collection.I probally found 600 of the 800+ games I have at yard sales and flea markets.At this point in time nes is still very avalible around here and almost all nes games are fun to play.Funny thing is contra .I find more contra carts than mario/duck hunt.Cant wait til april when it will be time to start hunting again.
-
I like the good old nes controllers that came with the system.....but for arkanoid you defintily need the vaus controller.
-
the best two player game is dr mario....actually its only fun with two players
-
With rare games people would bid if the sellers feedback was 10%..Im sure if air raid was up for sale and the seller had 90 negitive to 10 positive the bid would still go thru the roof.

guess IM lucky with yard sales around here..I can usally find 2 to3 hundred every friday and saturday without driving to much..one neat thing around here is they have lots of community yard sales in the summer. some towns you can have as many as 500 or more yard sales within one community.
