Title: WTB: Gimmick!
Post by: BuraiFighter on October 12, 2011, 07:07:33 am
Hey I've just come over from NintendoAge to see if anyone has Gimmick! (non-pirate) available?
I'm willing to pay generously, you can check my NA feedback under the same username or my eBay feedback under conf20.
Also I'd need it posted to the UK, thanks. :D

Earlier this year I got a CIB Gimmick for one person on this board for 250$ shipped. (I know it's expensive, but that can't be helped...)
I think I can get another one for the same price. (+/- 10$)

(See my feedback for that: http://www.famicomworld.com/forum/index.php?topic=5698.msg89174#msg89174 (http://www.famicomworld.com/forum/index.php?topic=5698.msg89174#msg89174)

Cart only would be cheaper of course.
PM me if you're interested.

I want Gimmick! CIB too!  What's a usual price?  $250 seems a lot...

$250 is the middle of the spectrum, now approaching the low end. I've seen complete copies fetch almost double that. A cart-only copy sold a few months back for around $225, not including sales fees, vigs and import costs. 

@BuraiFighter  Check your PMs. :bomb:

Wow, really?
I should have asked more.  ;D
But I like to help you guys (all real collectors I assume) out with this and for me it's not so much about the profit.

I can only restate what Xious is saying. The $ price has gone up these days. And copies don't pop up as often on Yahoo...

I sold a cart six months ago for around 120$, haha...  :D

But at that time there was a complete copy on ebay for $200 so I think it was a decent price.

Besides, as you may know, Scandinavia got its own release, and a cart only of that game sells for $150-225.

Prices go up and down anyways... Rakuten sells them for around $100 (it has one right now for ¥9,780).

9780Yen are about 128$ right now. Add shipping and you're at 140-150$.

There's one complete here for 12,000 here which I almost bought and then didn't.

This one shows signs of wear and the label is partly faded. (from the original Japanese listing)
But it's indeed cheaper than any I've seen elsewhere.
