Sorry the photo is so low res. I took it from a Nintendo DS.
What you are looking at is a rare discovery. IntelliVision games. Many are factory sealed!
It's a small used gaming store in Brookings, Oregon. Not sure if they were willing to do any over the phone/internet transactions. But, I did tell them that I'd pitch this find, anyhow.
When I inquired about two games, Donkey Kong and Turbo, she said that DK was coming up $50 sealed and Turbo...couldn't even find any sealed info...just $70 in opened condition.
And...NO!!! I'm not willing to be a medium for buying & shipping these games. Don't even ask me to do that.
The photo was taken as of 11/10/15. So, it's still current.
EDIT:
Darn. I made a try for Turbo, today. The clerk was too well trained. She couldn't be haggled with and called for the owner when no price comparison was available. (Probably from e-bay) The owner was basically 'Nope. Don't need the money. Can you come back tomorrow, after I have researched this.' So, she'll probably reach the same conclusion and set the price at $350. I'd have to be a serious game collector to pay that price for a game I neither have the system for, nor could even open without halving the value on. Sure. There's a chance that today's $350 investment could be worth a whole lot more, down the road. Or, more likely, it's probably at it's peak.
