DoctorEncore | 3,691 Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 Man, I think it's a huge mistake to have so much stuff ending all at the same time. I can't even be bothered to look through it all to see if I'm interested. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gulag Joe | 582 Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 Looks like mostly junk to me. There are maybe 2 titles in there that I'd be mildly interested in. These auction houses are running out of content QUICK. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnimalHouse | 117 Posted February 10, 2022 Author Share Posted February 10, 2022 I forgot the date the auction was ending and missed the beginning. After that, as Gulag Joe mentioned above, the rest didn't appeal to me but I was curious to see what they end for. Skimming through the list, I spotted (2) Mario Tennis Aces and took this prt sc. What a $ difference between the vga 95+ and 100. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gulag Joe | 582 Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 WOW! I can't imagine sending games off to VGA to take more than a year to get graded and then to try and flip them in an auction only for them to sell for $1! LOLOLOLOLOL VGA needs to enter themselves into these auctions and bid them up because this auction is looking like a real big bust and every title is slabbed by VGA. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They always end 30 seconds sequentially so you have the opportunity to get multiple things. 3 hours ago, AnimalHouse said: I forgot the date the auction was ending and missed the beginning.

This is 100% pure stupidity lol oh, and don’t forget the super smash bros ultimate that sold for $7k. —- in other news I had a nice lil haul for this auction.

jonebone | 1,307 Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 (edited) I struck out most of Tuesday night, only one win. I did win several PS1 last night to make up for it though. Very odd, I thought most of the NES / SNES / N64 hammer prices were stronger than my expectations, but then PS1 was flatter and I won more than expected. Maybe people spent too much the night before. The Switch 100 sales are ludicrious and first to market advantage of course. I'm sure rarebucky is happy with the results!

Gulag Joe | 582 Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 Wow roughly 250 of the games in this auction sold for under $200. Most of them were PS2 and newer but still. Some of these sellers lost a lot of money on this one. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anything, that suggests to me VGA isn’t part of the market manipulation ring. And that the people heavily involved in the big bids are supporting WATA more likely. Did something actually sold for $1, what was it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite a few sold for that and around that range. Many sat at $1 until the end and I think some sympathy buyers scooped them all up. Brutal.

If it was all NES and SNES, then fine. But ten different consoles, some of them relatively modern? Bad idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GetTheGreg | 105 Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 Best auction there is if you're willing to put in the time to browse and plan for it. Walked away with lots of awesome pieces for very solid prices! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I'm speaking from the sellers' perspective. From a buyer's perspective, it was a gold mine. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah im kinda glad and not feeling sorry for them, maybe now they will stop flooding the graders with games that dont deserve to be slabbed (IMO) and only done to make a quick profit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should follow my example, and just get the rare Japanese imports slabbed. That way they have a legitimate reason to be pissed at those who think those games are less rare simply because they are not NA releases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
