# Metal Gear: sold-price estimates (nes)

Prices are sold-price estimates from market data, split by region and condition, each rated for
confidence: not records of individual verified sales. "Sealed" reports listing claims, never verified factory authenticity.
They're a guide, not an offer: a game is worth what someone pays for it, and shops, markets and local sales can be higher or
lower. Condition, photos and the seller's reputation move a price within the range (p25 to p75).
With only 2 sales that disagree 3 times or more ("2 sales far apart"), p25 and p75 are those two sales and the median is
never their average: a sale far off what the game's other prices predict is set aside, otherwise the middle of the two
leans on that prediction.
A boxed (CIB) price spans the box's condition: p25 ≈ a worn box (tears, stickers, crushing), median = typical, p75 and up ≈ an
excellent box. The box here is a cardboard box (pal), a cardboard box (ntsc), a cardboard box (ntscj).

| region | tier | median | p25 to p75 | n | confidence |
|--------|------|--------|---------|---|------------|
| ntsc | cib | $120 | $90 to $146 | 36 | high |
| ntsc | loose | $18 | $15 to $18 | 16 | high |
| ntsc | sealed | $700 | $380 to $980 | 21 | high |
| ntscj | cib | $143 | $117 to $170 | 11 | good |
| ntscj | loose | $23 | $20 to $26 | 7 | good |
| ntscj | sealed | $250 | $225 to $275 | 2 | guess |
| pal | cib | $168 | $103 to $187 | 30 | high |
| pal | loose | $45 | $35 to $51 | 12 | good |
| pal | sealed | $399 | $349 to $415 | 3 | guess |
