What drives the price

The price of Super Metroid is significantly influenced by its condition and completeness.

The inclusion of the box and manual drastically affects the asking price, with examples showing a cartridge plus box listed for $319.99 (Good condition) [1]. Condition is a major factor; a listing noted as 'Like New' for the cartridge alone was listed at $119.99 [1].

Buying and selling it

When considering a purchase, comparing the current asking median of $119.99 against the sold median of $233.05 suggests that patience may be beneficial, as the market shows a gap between asking prices and realized sales [1]. For sellers, high-quality presentation is key; complete sets (CIB) command significantly higher prices than loose cartridges [1].
