Necron99 Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 I laugh every time I see these VGA rating boxed games on Ebay. It's always a ridiculous price! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyHW Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 If this is what classic video game collecting is all about, count me out. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atari_Bill Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 I was just getting ready to mention something about how these never sell until I looked at the auction. There are 19 bids? Are there really that many people out there with more money than common sense? There must be becuase you can't have much sense to bid this to the point it's at now.

Dino Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 What do these usually go for shrinkwrapped with no grading?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riffraff Posted April 4, 2012 Author Share Posted April 4, 2012 Couldn't find sealed in recent history but these were complete: $18.50 $31.00 Most cart-only completed listings sold for $12-$15, and there are a lot of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That may be cheap compared to the final price, but that doesn't mean that it's any less insane. All you're doing is paying hundreds and hundreds of $$$$ for a game case. In my eyes the grade means nothing. I put no stock in the graders or the grading method. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riffraff Posted April 9, 2012 Author Share Posted April 9, 2012 Final price $525. Why couldn't my SW'd startropics go for that much? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my eyes the grade means nothing. I put no stock in the graders or the grading method. I totally agree! It's bat shit crazy to pay $$$ to first put a game into a tomb like that and even worse on the buyer to pay $$$$ purchasing it. People like you and I play video games and have a collection of them. People who buy games like that are collectors who happen to own video games. Big difference. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
