You're probably talking about Super Xevious, which has a gold cart.  It's not rare at all.

Japan_Canada uses the term "rare" on all his items. He´s a good seller but be careful

I first thought that game was rare up until about a month later.  :(

Be careful, sellers tend to use the term "rare" and most of the time it's just total bullshit, they just want you to buy their stuff.

Like, Famicom is "rare" to most people but actually it's a common console which you can buy from everywhere, i.e via Internet or if you're in Japan, it's hell of a cheap deal.

I think most sellers use the word "rare" because it's a good search keyword, not to intentionally trick people.

Yeah, I could agree on that, Eric.

But see this great example -> http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NINTENDO-FAMICOM-DISK-SYSTEM-GAMES-CONSOLE-BOXED-NES_W0QQitemZ200462429947QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_VideoGames_VideoGameConsoles_VideoGameConsoles?hash=item2eac7deefb says "very rare" seriously? JapanGameStock has it for sale boxed and unboxed and it's cheaper.

Well, he's a good seller but over prices his items quite often.

Rare is so meaningless. If something is rare, the person buying it already knows it's rare.

"RARE SMB 1 cartridge! Special Edition with Bonus Duck Hunt game! RARE!"

Rare is like a lot of words used to sell crap. It's really no different than how Subway uses the word "fresh" to describe their overly-processed, preservative and hydrogenated oil laden, pesticide-ridden conventional produce containing shit bombs they call subs. If they were "fresh", they wouldn't have all that stuff in them. Then again, the term "fresh" isn't defined and means nothing, which is how they get away with it. They could probably call them "fresh & rare," too.
