Here in Fort Worth we have a hidden gem of a store called Movie Trading Company. These guys sell and buy movies on all formats - DVD, VHS, and BLU-RAY. They also specialize in Music CD's.... and my favorite.

Classic and Vintage Video game systems and games.
From Atari, to Genesis, Sega CD, Saturn, Dreamcast, NES,
Super NES, Playstation all the way to the current systems/games.
They're very large collection of games for sale really gets the
attention of a collector of Playstation and Super NES games like myself.
at the front of the store in a glass case you'll find the rarer, more expensive
titles. Zelda: A link to the past, Chrono Trigger, Earthbound.
But when i purchased this game for 9$ i didnt realize it was worth 400 dollars on Ebay.

Only 2000 cartridges were made for this game.

The StarFox Super Weekend competition was held from April 30 - May 2, 1993 at 1500-2000 locations throughout the United States. The competition was held at various stores including Toys 'R Us, Electronics Boutique, Blockbuster, Media Play and Kay-Bee. Employees who worked at the event got a nifty yellow apron to wear. The goal of the contest was to score the highest amount of points at the location during the weekend. All participants got a StarFox pin. Participants who got over the 70,000 point threshold received a StarFox/Super FX t-shirt. The winner at each store got a nifty bomber jacket, with the Nintendo logo on the front, and the Super StarFox Weekend logo on the back. According to the card that came with the cartridge ordered from the Super Power Catalog, most of the store winners got between 130,000 and 145,000 points.

With that being said. Should i Keep this game and add it to my collection, or auction it off?

Well i bought it from a Corporate business, and the game must've came to them via them buying it from a customer. So thanks for the input, sir.

1.) Sell it for as much as you can.
2.) Tip the owner of the store 15% for providing you a good product at an honest price that you profited from.
3.) put dat money in da credit union.
4.) ????
5.) Profit.
