Cart only = worthless

cart only is not worthless

In fact, some of these newer games... that is the only way to get them (IE US faselei... etc)

there are no boxes or manuals done for them at all.

I think people will see how rare they are soon though

they were just outsourced not that long ago. I am actually slowly going through my supply... and I plan on soaking up more.. even though they will sit for a few months selling a few at a time.

but count this in that there are very few of these games made... maybe 2000 or less. I know the original funder of the "outsource" and well... I know 2 other suppliers that are eating some of the product up (and blowing out on ebay as you can see). After they go through their stock (according to them has been fast) you won't see much of them... so I believe.

You mean that cart only US-versions spock

I think they won't rise in price, 'cos you can get a complete english release with box and manual (Euro), why should i buy a cart only game ? If you could offer some complete US Faselei!, you would be rich

I wonder if they do exist ...

PEACE

bokmeow · May 6, 2003

Until I can buy a small island with a hypothetical profit margin, I will remain indifferent to the rising market value of these US cart only releases.

Bluevoodu · May 6, 2003

no they don't. If some surface, I doubt they are real.

well.... there are differences IE the labels have the ESRB ratings. I have Neo TM with the ESRB labels.. and the UK version too.
Faselei... I got it with the ERSB label.

But the faselei... most likely will go up with time due to that label.

I know it sounds stupid... but that is how the market goes lol.... you won't see them rise for awhile though.
mark my words, if its wrong, you can let me know

nicely though lol.

<a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3021826649&ssPageName=ADME :B:

EOAB:US:6" target="_blank">http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3021826649&ssPageName=ADME :B:

EOAB:US:6</a>
Haven't got it delivered yet, so I don't know if it's working, but I thought it would be kind of a cool buy... :cool:

And I got it for only $5, so it doesn't really matter if it's working or not...

Bluevoodu · May 6, 2003

lol... thats not right... look at the label.

Here is the correct visual:

shame bluevoodu is right the amount flooding the market are going to sell out and when they do they will be like just as rare as complete versions.

I know thats not right. but read the text and you will find that it's not an ordinary version!! It is, according to the seller, a pre-release of the game, sent to american press!

Bluevoodu · May 6, 2003

that'd be cool if its true.

I wonder how you could "verify" that.

I did see the text though

tab · May 6, 2003

yeah, verifiyng it would be a problem, since he wrote that it would come without any documentation...
sry for the angry reply

Bluevoodu · May 6, 2003

what angry reply?

c.t.h · May 6, 2003

A cart such as that would be easy to fake. Grab a usa faselei, yank the label, and stick on that sticker. However, if it's different from the completed game (like the japanese demo carts I get) THEN you've got something.

back on topic here:

in the description that guy calls it "highly sought after and therefore rare"....WTF spock

makes me wanna punch that guy in the face

Makes sense. For instance, Saddam Hussein is highly sought after, and there's only one of him. You can't argue that he isn't rare.

tickled lol tickled lol

you don't even believe this shit for yourself, do you spock ? I saw a complete Faselei UK release going for 52 € last week ... You can buy a bare US Faselei Cart for 20 Bucks ... I don't think the games will rise in price ... maybe in 3 years, but not soon ...

Bluevoodu · May 7, 2003

I am not saying anything against you, you might be right, but I am seeing the supply shrink... and more being bought up by people not that the supply is shrinking...

I say 1 year from now... maybe a tad little longer...

they won't raise tremendously.. I say up to $25 in a little over 1 year.

Actually, "rare" doesn't equal "high demand" in all cases. Obviously, rare games usually are in "high demand", but that is more of a perceived high demand due to the prices that are asked for those games. A game that is high demand is marked by increasing price, regardless of supply, i.e., Faselei! UK complete, with the price nearly doubling in the past year. A game that is rare, but not in high demand is marked, similarly by a declining high $$ value, such as the PC Engine game Sapphire, which has dropped from ~$600 to $300-350 in the past year. Rare, but not exactly high in demand. Since there are so few games in total for the NGPC, most of the games are in demand because the collection is actually obtainable (as opposed to the NES, where you could only hope to get a percentage of the carts, making it not very collectable except for good rare carts and fun/high demand games).

Examples:
Pocket Reversi UK complete = Rare and high demand
Rockman Pocket = not Rare, but in high demand
Sapphire ACD (PC Engine) = very rare, little demand

That ends today's economics lesson. Oh, before I finish, the true measure of value is what you are willing to pay for it. Not what someone wants to sell it for. Consumers generally control cost (look at the price drops for vid systems, computers, etc which are spurred by lack of consumer interest/purchase)

yeah, but that wouldn't make sense. If he'd done it himself, he should try to get better payed. All that trouble for $5... I wouldn't do it...
