Video Game "Look what I found"

[AppleQueso]

All of the Majora's Mask carts are gold though.

Nope. The nfr cart is gray.

I thought about mentioning that one, but it's far from a "normal" cart and not something you're ever likely to just stumble across.

I never really saw a non-Player's Choice gray cart of OoT before. Hell, I remember the video store only had the gold one to rent when I was younger and I never owned OoT for the actual N64

The gold version of OOT was available only to those who pre-ordered the game.

This can't be entirely true. My parents bought mine for Christmas at K-Mart - off the rack. So maybe K-Mart pre-ordered, but my memory is actually quite good on this (a rare thing) because I was with them when we were out looking for ideas and there had to have been at least 30 in the store available to general consumers. There were all limited edition gold foil boxes w/gold carts.

Fun fact - I also got Nightmare Creatures the same Christmas and thought it was AMAZING. I suppose it was at the time, not so much any longer.

Found off craigslist. This was a lady's old stock from a rental store she used to run. Got it all for $30!

^ CIB Zelda alone sells for 50 -70.

Nice haul, Bodmin. That's some quality stuff there. Selling Yoshi? My copy looks like butt.

everyone is getting so many great finds , i think its not that rare at all to get great prices.

why would there be a not for resale carts? Was it like rent only? Did they used to do this with DVDs and VHS?

Maybe Gold OOT was just a first run thing? I don't know, I just remember preorders = you got a gold cart.

It depends. The Not-For-Resale n64 carts were used in things like demo kiosks and such.

Stuff like the Not-For-Resale Sonic The Hedgehog carts were only labeled like that because they were pack-in titles and they didn't want retailers trying to sell those copies on their own.

It is nothing like it used to 5 to 10 years ago...

Thanks, Internet!
