Mario's Golden Coin = $450.00 USD?

Value Village Find

Today at the Thrift, we found a factory sealed Super Mario Land 2 for the Gameboy for $4.99. A good start to the Thrifting Year!

Enjoying a well deserved coffee after a great hunt!

Happy day, $5 for Mario's Golden Coins? Good deal! We found a FACTORY SEALED Super Mario Land 2 for the Original Game Boy for $4.99. A quick EBAY search had 1 listed for $450, for my sake, I hope it sells for that!   

The Story
Like all of mario's games, he must battle through new worlds and enemies to find the 6 golden coins that unlocks the Castle, and saves the kingdom from the evil Wario.

Value
In reality, something is only worth what someone is willing to pay. I've been a part of many video game forums, which have valued this game all the way up to $450, but price guide states $250. Realistically Winnipeg would fetch the lower end, if not less. We sure love a bargain. 

In Closing...

This is where "LP" (my co-blogger) would ask "do you think $450 is worth it?" If you're not a collector, then the answer is probably "no", but you decide. LP and I are also taking offers =) but it will probably stay with the family.

Interesting Fact - Wario's First Appearance - Super Mario Land 2 - 6 Golden Coins.
