DefaultGen | 5,714 Posted July 20 Share Posted July 20 https://goldin.co/item/1990-nes-nintendo-gold-world-championships-missing-cartridge-usa-cartrwlodh I didn't see this posted anywhere, so sorry if it already was. The last one just sold for $350,000. In my personal worldview, this should sell for much less missing the entire label, but I'm sure everyone who owns one will be riding the "It's an honor and privilege just to own one at all" train for the next few weeks. Also how on Earth do you get a 4.0 grade missing the entire label?? Anyway, neat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DefaultGen | 5,714 Posted July 20 Author Share Posted July 20 I'm gonna say $211,000. That's probably not even a number a Goldin auction can end at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hammerfestus | 4,097 Posted July 20 Share Posted July 20 Probably a lot. I don’t get it though. If I was going to buy THE thing I’d want a not fucked up one. Yeah yeah rare blah blah. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3rdStrongestMole | 439 Posted July 20 Share Posted July 20 The little blurb says it came directly from a contest winner (at least, that's how it's intended to come across). Name appeared in NP #18. I think that kicks the value back up. It hasn't passed through a bunch of hands, despite the missing label. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make your account now and make sure you up your spending limit. Default spending limit is $10,000 for new accounts. I'll be bidding too, but I'll only be bidding my entire NWC Grey budget. Also, I can confirm the cart as legitimate. Here's an old photo of the cartridge in my archive that shows the damage better. NOTE: This is not the other NWC gold that was owned by NintendoAge use "lagenfeld". His cartridge was met with a lot of controversy that made him sell off his entire collection and leave the community entirely.

a3quit4s | 4,311 Posted July 20 Share Posted July 20 (edited) 22% buyers premium is f’n crazy - that’s exactly like buying a new car off the lot and it losing value as soon as you buy it (except about 15% worse). The NWC gold is worth X on its own but because you have to pay an additional 22% it’s immediately worth 75% of what you paid for it. Nuts. Fuck Goldin Auctions.

I'm saying this as a bidder: I factor in the premium in my bid price. I just ignore the actual bid price and realize that instead of $10,000 I'm actually bidding $12,200 plus tax, shipping, handling, and for an item this large? Probably the cost of a plane ticket or hefty insurance for a week. I'm pretty sure they also take a commission fee from the seller as well, so if one were to pop up on facebook somehow, you can say the fair market price is 60-70% of what it sells in a few days...BUT also bare in mind that the last private sale was a few months ago for $350k, and I don't see this breaking $250k without the label.

That’s now $22k on top of your gavel bid and the cart is still now worth the $100k you paid for it. Like cmon man there is no reason to even be involved in this. For you especially, aren’t you still keeping track of NWC owners? One of them has got to be willing to sell to you at these prices lol Alim wouldn’t sell you the 105 at TMG?

I don't track owners of the greys, but I do know where all the golds are and besides PatTheNESPunk and this copy? They're all in their forever homes. Meaning, the owners of the other 11 copies have to either go through desperation or worse for them to ever move. I plan on bidding $50k which is every dollar I have saved up for Grey (yeah I know, still not enough) but you never know! Goldin is great because new buyers can only bid up to $10k, and once bidding is in only current bidders can extend the time. So, if I put in a $50k bid then there's a very very small chance I can actually win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fingers crossed, but I'm not holding my breath. I'm basically buying a scratch-off, and hoping to win the million. I WILL own a grey eventually though.

ThePhleo | 2,256 Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 Meh. I put in my bid, and even went past my budget. It was fun putting in a bid at least. Maybe I'll get the next one in 10 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
