Look for H seams on sealed NES games. Essentially that goes for SNES, Gameboy, etc... Should be a seam all the way across the back connecting the 2 side seams and basically forming the letter H...

Okay have to ask now. Where do you got the thinking of the vampire game beeing only 30 even if there is only 1 disc in it? You said the game goes for around 100 bucks, then my calculation would be as followed: Okay 1/2 discs, the front cover is there the back cover is there a new jeweled case goes for around 1 buck you paid 1 buck, i would say atleast 50 bucks you can ask for if you change the case with a brand new one and move the front and back cover which maybe is a task for around 5 minutes max. Am I thinking wrong here? If so tell me where Im wrong would love to know :)

[@PhoenixResale]

Yes you’re wrong, the whole complete game is worth more than the sum of its parts in general. Also I always try to estimate conservatively or I get a bunch of folks calling me out for exaggerating. Then again people do that no matter the estimate I give. 🤷‍♂️

[@drinkthinkrelax]

In that first store it looks like they're pricing the boxed NES games and loose. And some prices are out of whack, like kickle cubicle for anymore than 30-35. If fire n ice loose is under 100 which it looks to be, that's a underpriced game as well!
