Would any of you savvy VB guys mind putting together a rarity order? I would imagine, based on recent ebay auctions, that it goes:
1. Virtual Bowling
2. SD Gundam Dimension Wars
3. Space Invaders
4. Virtual Lab
5. Insmouse
6. Space Squash
7. Virtual Fishing
8. Jack Bros
9. WaterWorld
10. 3D Tetris
I'm not sure where to go from there. 9 and 10 I'm unsure about, but aside from that, I am positive that the bottom 2 would be Virtual League Baseball and Mario Tennis!
Yeah, that pretty much seems accurate. Though, I am unsure about Space Invaders and Virtual Lab. I would almost assume that they are equally as rare. You will notice that [URL="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=8288464808&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT"]this copy of Space Invaders[/URL] sold for nearly $480. But, a [URL="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=8284680683&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT"]previous copy of SI[/URL] sold for a mere $261. So, you can't alway go by price to determine rarity. So many things factor into the selling price too. For instance; How much is a certain collector willing to pay for a particular game, and is it even available on ebay for him to place a bid? And is he/she even watching the auctions when one goes up? Anyway, I don't want to go off on a tangent here, so I'll stick to the point. Don't gage rarity by selling price. Though, when one person does put up their entire collection like that, it certainly does give you a pretty good idea.
While we are on the subject, it appears that someone else has a near complete collection up on ebay. When it rains, it pours.
And a copy of Space Invaders (item #8289562685 since I can't post URLS yet), about 3 days after the one went for $480, was sold to yours truly at a cool $245!
...And one guess who won [url=http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=8289562685]it[/url]. :p:
Lucky b*stard... ;)
I think I paid about $350 for my copy. Maybe a little more. I don't remember and it gets hard to keep track. I know my copy of Virtual Bowling set me back a good $800 plus shipping. I was happy to see the recent copy sell for over $900 lol. At least that one is holding a somewhat steady value now.
well right now Insmouse is going for more money but some times i see Space Squash go for more money then Insmouse on ebay and allso if you go to ebay you will see that JACK BROS is going for about [URL=http://cgi.ebay.com/JACK-BROS-Nintendo-VIRTUAL-BOY-Game-USA-rare_W0QQitemZ8291549664QQihZ020QQcategoryZ187QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem]$104.35[/URL]-[URL=http://cgi.ebay.com/Boxed-Jack-Bros-USA-Nintendo-Virtual-Boy_W0QQitemZ8288464317QQihZ020QQcategoryZ187QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem]$169.65[/URL] and the last 2 Virtual Fishing went for [URL=http://cgi.ebay.com/VIRTUAL-FISHING-Nintendo-VIRTUAL-BOY-Game-JAP-rare_W0QQitemZ8291547333QQihZ020QQcategoryZ187QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem]$76.42[/URL]-[URL=http://cgi.ebay.com/Rare-Boxed-Virtual-Fishing-JAP-Nintendo-Virtual-Boy_W0QQitemZ8288464895QQihZ020QQcategoryZ187QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem]$83.79[/URL]
5. Insmouse
6. Space Squash
7. Virtual Fishing
8. Jack Bros
I knew I should have gotten a copy of Jack Bros when I had the chance... :(
I've got the Jap version. Cost a lot less than $130. :eek:
I also need to locate a Waterworld as well... :(
i had got Jack Bros complete and Waterworld just the cart all in one auction on ebay a few months ago for $65 looking at what Jack Bros goes for now MAN WHAT A DEAL
I do not play such devilish games. I will only play games that show support for The Lord Above. Would Jesus play such secular games?

Wow. you put virtual lab as #4? one copy went for 1000 dollars! Most people use mario tennis for many purposes such as
-a coster
-a fish bowl decoration
-a dog toy
-something to put under a wobbly table
-a paintball deflector
ya but seriously that game is soooo common! you can get one for 5$ average :O
