I'd like to know why the flea market sold it for $25 bucks? They must have had some knowledge that the game was worth a lot, even though it's going for an average of $150 cart only atm.

The cheapest cart is at $180 + $6 shipping right now. The only manual is going for $60.

The guy had it in a showcase with a bunch of other games that usually sell for a similar price. He always overprices his SNES and NES stuff by about ten dollars, and this is the first Gameboy cart I've seen him sell. I really don't think he had any idea what it was really worth, he just put a price tag on it.

Picked up Goldeneye 007 for N64 for 10 bucks yesterday night at Edward mckay used books and more. Excellent store, they were closing in 4 minutes and i had to hurry up and pick either goldeneye, perfect dark, or castlevania (all were 10 bucks). I choose goldeneye since my collection lacks multiplayer games and i dont own an expansion pak for perfect dark. -_-

You lucky SOB. I've been looking for that game for years! All I found today was a Game Gear "Wide Gear" adapter for $4.
