# Sonic the Hedgehog 3: sold-price estimates (md)

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 plastic case (pal), a plastic case (ntscj).

| region | tier | median | p25 to p75 | n | confidence |
|--------|------|--------|---------|---|------------|
| ntsc | cib | $52 | $50 to $60 | 38 | high |
| ntsc | loose | $29 | $23 to $33 | 27 | high |
| ntsc | sealed | $183 | $136 to $486 | 26 | good |
| ntscj | cib | $108 | $69 to $127 | 14 | good |
| ntscj | loose | $47 | $44 to $51 | 4 | guess |
| ntscj | sealed | $176 | $176 to $176 | 1 | guess |
| pal | cib | $53 | $43 to $66 | 27 | high |
| pal | loose | $25 | $23 to $27 | 11 | good |
| pal | sealed | $167 | $163 to $176 | 3 | guess |
