I got 2  ''sealed copy''  ( i know they dont come sealed)  of chrono trigger and ff6... why is there vga rated chrono trigger at 1k ? what make them valuable ? they seenms like the other ? Heres mine.

That isn't the value - it's what people are asking.  It's an old problem, but one that will stick around.  Some people think chucking things in a box with a sticker ups the amount that fresh collectors will pay for it.  I don't buy into that theory, but they do sometimes sell - in short there's always people with more money than sense.  If you won the lottery, would you buy it?

Thank you..If i remove the seal and make them graded and they get good grades could i sell them more than 100 hundredish ?or it doesnt worth it at all

XiTaU

there is next to 0 chance of making money on super famicom rpgs
1 they are very common and 2 they require Japanese language knowledge
I wouldnt get them VGA rated u will lose money for sure on these

I would agree, you'll spend more on the grading process and shipping.  Chrono Trigger and FFVI are already very popular and therefore common and cheap to pick up, even new.

There's always at least one or 2 sample copies of chrono trigger on ebay.

I can't think of what they are exactly called right now, but what is the going rate on those official SFC flash carts? I guess it probably depends what was written to it, but roughly what should I look to pay for one? Does $20 to $30 sound about right? Just a loose copy.

I would say $20 is right for a loose one - they were widespread and offered to the public.  

A Minty Metal Slader Glory Director's Cut is probably the top end, I think around $150-$200 depending on condition, it varies.

So you can use that as a point of comparison.

Hi everyone,

Can anyone advice me what a fair pricetag would be on a boxed functional Twin Famicon ?
And please excuse me for my unknowledge, but one need this Twin Famicon to play FDS-games, right?

Thanks

/Titus  ;D

It is cheaper to buy a famicom and a disk drive then to buy a sharp twin.
If u want a working Twin in box price can vary quite a bit and postage will be a huge amount of the price ~$50.
For a boxed unit you are looking at the $200 - $250 range i would think.
You can find them cheaper if ur willing to try to fix the disk drive yourself.

Hi XiTau,
Thanks for your good info. You're saying "try to fix the disc drive yourself"  .... What's usually wrong/broken on them disc drives then? What do I need to fix if so?

Is there any sort of "combo" I can use  between a disc drive ( the one for the Famicon) and a AV Famicon then?

Thanks

/Titus  ;D

XiTaU

The disk drives usually stop working because the belt breaks u can fix it urself if u have the know how it is quite simple.
You can use an AV famicom and a disk drive instead of a sharp twin it is the more preferred method but a sharp twin works well too.

Hello guys, as you can see I'm new here but with will to stay for a longer time, so Hello :)
Sooo the thing that brought me into this forum was the research about a game I own.
I was looking for any information about it for a few days and yet haven't found any clue about it's rarity.

So here it is Metal Fighter by Sachen for Famicom/Famiclone console.
