Vs Dr Mario daughter card

Around $325-350 for a clean original with PPU and the dr mario label on the heatsink
Seriously? WHY? There a lot of original Dr. Marios around.


And brand new replacement boards sell for $130...without PPU and CPU.
They sell for $260 with PPU and CPU and a second game selectable via toggle switch.

Well lets see. You say they are around, and you are correct, but they are rarely for sale. Last 2 on klov were over a year ago. Nothing on ebay in over 90 days. A year ago it went for $250-275. A few NOS ones went for $400-500 in the last 2 years. Now with the current state of blank main boards going for double of last years price ($100-120, compared to to $200-260 now) that also makes daughtercards go up. Given the amount of people looking for an original my quote might even be low in current market.

And yes I am aware of the reproduction options as I am the one that makes them, but some people want original for collecting, ect.

Fair points.

:ROFLMAO: Small world!

Those look awesome. Nice job! I've been thinking about those for a while.

Back on topic...
I guess I don't watch the market that closely, huh? I still say it's too much though. So I'll drop the range down and actually offer some numerical opinion.

Buyer's prices:
$325-350 if it's minty and working and you have to have it today. (per @joe3693 )
$175-225 if you are actively looking, but patient.
$75 if you're a KLOV hoarder. :p
 
I think he said with the PCB but in unknown condition....good deal if it's all working. Expensive paper weight if it's not.

I plan on getting @joe3693 Dr Mario / Platoon daughter board. I run several of his combo daughter boards now and they all work great.
