What makes one worth more or less?

Loose cartridge or disc vs. complete in box: the box and manual can add as much as the game itself, so say which you have. Authentic vs. reproduction: popular titles are widely faked. Check the label print, the board inside, and the screws. Region: a US game sells to US buyers. Japanese and PAL copies are a different market and usually sell for less here.
