I am Marcelo Gonzalez, the Houston champion from the 18 and Over group of the 1990 Nintendo World Championships. I have been reading recently about some of the grey game cartridges coming up for auction on eBay these first 2 months of 2014, and I thought I would ask about the value of my stuff. I have everything from when I won including my grey cartridge, My Houston gold cup, my nameplate, and probably most importantly, my silver Mario trophy for finishing 2nd at Universal Studios. I have this stuff in storage until March when I move to my new house and I am seriously thinking about selling all of it. I've been following prices on everything except the silver trophy; anyone have a clue on any sales or auctions of that? BTW, Paul Williams, the 12-17 winner in New Orleans is my nephew.

you wanna sell it seriously?
nintendoage.com
theres other nwc winners/contestants on there as well but as well, you should do some more intensive research yourself, as i cannot believe you dont know the value of these items. ps-i live in houston myself
pps-within 2 minutes of posting this exact message on nintendoage.com, you will have received multiple private messages. good luck!

ogo;
I appreciate your reply, and I too still live in Houston. I will indeed research this as it seems I can establish some clear providence to what I have and probably raise the value more.

I will give you $150 cash for everything if you are interested. It's old stuff and I will have to buy a new NES to play the game on, so thats why I had to knock the price down a bit. If you include a working NES I will bump up my offer to $190.

Dude I once saw a guy list a gold Zelda for 10 grand on ebay!

(yes, it was a joke. The seller even wrote in the listing that you'd have to be stupid to buy it.
I don't remember if he actually put a sixth screw in the cart or if that was another joke.)

Marcelo,

Did you ever sell this 1990 NWC cart? I have a really serious buyer. PM me if by some miracle you are still around.

@richiez313 Sorry I already bought it from him 4 years ago and used it in a YouTube video where I ran it over with a steamroller. However if you happen to have any rare Nintendo games for sale I will buy them, my steamroller videos are a big hit.

@Tasuki
I love the reaction videos people post to your steamroller vids. So many nerd tears ... it's glorious, just like Bobby Roode.

@richiez313 Did you take his answer seriously? Though I remember this isn't the first time someone here has taken a fairly obvious joke response to an offer for a ridiculously high value item seriously.

While there probably are some youtube channel owners who could pay $10k+ for something to destroy it, it's far less likely than getting a sarcastic response on the Internet.

Also, we don't have PMs on this forum, if you haven't noticed already.
