Re: Looking for NES cartridges
i found out that if one gets a Famicom-to-NES pin adaptor, one can get Japanese FC carts for a a fraction of the price of US NES versions.
(example: the US version of Clu Clu Land was selling on eBay for $26 minimum. JP versions were under $5 - the one i got was all of $1.98 including shipping)
i'm only looking now for Metroid and Kid Icarus - the JP versions of both are floppy discs, not carts.

Re: Looking for NES cartridges
What is the fair market value of NES cartridges? I'm sure I could find mine at my mothers house but it is quite a distance away. I know I had Mario Bros (with duck hunt) and Excitebike.

Re: Looking for NES cartridges
Anywhere from 50 cents to $40,000. It's a collector's market, so it varies wildly based on rarity, condition, and extras (box, inserts, etc.) Mario/Duck hunt was the pack-in with every console, so maybe five bucks.

Re: Looking for NES cartridges
This is usually where I go to get a general idea:
https://www.pricecharting.com/en/console/nes
I have about 80 carts and I periodically go through this site to see how much my collection is worth.
