Here is a Sealed Die Hard Arcade for the Sega Saturn I would like to trade.
I need to make a long description to be as fair as possible to anyone who is interested.
The bad stuff: First off the seal is in poor condition. There are several tears in it, mostly on the front. The frame for the hook is still on the back but the actual hook part is broken off. There is a crack on the front of the case. The front is also quite dirty, I think this will clean up fairly well but I will let whomever gets it do that. There is a sticker on the front. There is the number 5 written in permanent ink on the left edge. The seal has some light scuffing in several places.
The good stuff: It's a sealed game, and not a super common one at that. Other then that one crack the case is in good condition. The disc is not loose. It is not faded. The seal on the top, bottom and right edges and back are in relatively good shape.
This picture shows the crack the best, it goes from the "c" in "Arcade" towards the top right to just above the middle of the sticker. Because of the lighting the dirt and scuffing on the seal looks at its worst, if it were cleaned and in different lighting it would look better. I count seven tears in the seal, six are visible in the two pictures that show the front. Three tears on the bottom edge, one one the left edge, one in the middle and one on the top edge (on front).

Here you can see that the frame for the hook part is there but the display hook is gone. There is a wear spot in the seal in the bottom right, left and top right corner. There is a tear in the seal over the word "anything" in the middle about 2/3 of the way down. I think the scan makes the clarity of the seal a little worst then in actuality.

Here you can see the permanent ink.

The picture makes it look like there is a dent about halfway down the right edge. This is part of the molding process used on the case and is not a defect.

First off, if you have something I want and is worth more than this game I may be willing send the game and money to make a good deal.
Ideally I would like to trade for Odyssey^2 or Vectrex games I don't have. If I could work out a deal for a console I don't have that would be good too.
Other options would be NES, Dreamcast, SNES games. Or I might go for other stuff too, if you really want it we can probably work something out. I'm not too picky on the condition of games, loose carts make up the majority of my collection.
Oh, and I don't want your money
. If you insist on simply buying it I will make a less good deal.
Just for quick reference:
I did a quick look on ebay, the price this game sells for complete seems to be $25-39. The price it goes for sealed seems to be $55-75ish. I'm thinking mine is worth more then $39, but I won't drive too hard of a bargain.
