Need help determining the value of a Dr. Mario piggy bank.

[Joseph F]

I've had a piggy bank like this for several years that I picked up at a yard sale for a few dollars. I was wondering where I should go to have it valued. (Pic is not mine, My bank is not in quite as good shape as the pictured one)

2 bits?

 

[Joseph F]

Well, I hope it's worth more than that. :\

 

[Newbian]

However much is in it.

 

[zinfamous]

seriously?


for fuck's sake....

 

[zinfamous]

2 bits?

Well, I hope it's worth more than that. :\

2 bits = silver quarter. (pre 1964)

which means, about $5.40 right now (value of the silver in that one quarter). that's as good as it will ever get for your mass-produced, factory-made worthless piggy bank.

It's probably being too generous.

The thing is, It didn't really look mass-produced to me. But what do I know?

 

[Ichinisan]

Give it to me.

Is it not just some junk merch that they shove at you during trade shows, or something?

anyway, I did some searching and returned with some bad news.

google for Dr Mario piggy bank, I get this thread:

All I can say is: whether it's worth $5 or $20,000, if you start down this path, you will die a virgin.

You lose no matter what.

🙁 gl, bro.

I'll admit, I was fascinated by all of that. It's like the 40 Year-old Virgin, but way worse (Katherine Keener will never be waiting for you on the other side of that.)

OP: quit while you're ahead! 😱

Just to clarify, I'm not a collector. This is the only piece of Video Game memorabilia I own. I just wanted to get a value on this so hopefully I could unload it on the kind of people in the thread you linked to. xD

dude, you should email some of them. I bet Metal Gear guy will pay like....$5,000 for that junk.

It doesn't bother him that he has game consoles sitting in his display case, unopened and never to be played, let alone piles and piles of the same game.

OP, I'll paypal you $5 +shipping for it.
