MrWunderful | 2,933 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 My best friend’s Father-in-law had them in the garage. My buddy called me Right away. Explained to them what they had, and how to maximize the profit, but they wanted a cash offer from me instead. Gave them a fair price, but still a ton of profit room, and here we are. will post more pics in a bit. The sealed ristar are in factory cases. 11 20 2 Link to comment https://www.videogamesage.com/forums/topic/14237-pretty-insane-sealed-sega-find/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

final fight cd | 251 Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Very cool! What’s the condition? I see sitting in garage, and I think poor temperature/humidity control. did the person own a game store or something?

jonebone | 1,334 Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Very nice, is that Dr. Robotnik in the middle? I could use one. As someone who collects Genesis though, the demand really fell out of Sega a ton since the pandemic peak. Still plenty of good ones there though.

I thought about it, but the factory cases dont have any cool sega marks (or Ristar labeling). They appear to be standard uline style boxes so im not really putting a premium on them outside of proof of condition. 15 hours ago, nrslam said: Wow!

We live within about 20 miles of where Sega of America was head quartered during that time (multiple other game companies too). Buddies FIL was a truck driver, so I assume they fell off somehow 6 hours ago, final fight cd said: Very cool! What’s the condition? I see sitting in garage, and I think poor temperature/humidity control. did the person own a game store or something? Slight dust, but otherwise mint. Its a pacific coastal town, but very mild weather year round. The sonic cd were worst, because of fragility but still pretty good overall. 4 hours ago, jonebone said: Very nice, is that Dr. Robotnik in the middle? I could use one. As someone who collects Genesis though, the demand really fell out of Sega a ton since the pandemic peak. Still plenty of good ones there though. Shoot me a PM with what range you are in and Ill let you have your pick. Yea its pretty crazy, I just wish Genesis wasnt down like @jonebone said. Might get a few of the Ristars graded and sit on them. I have local contacts that collect graded I might trade for higher end items or store credit. If sega has a good resurgence with the remakes they are doing, ill catch a little wave hopefully. I only spent what I was willing to lose on this investment and am padding out my collection so either way Im happy! If anyone else is interested in anything, reach out and ill work a deal. Open to high end trades too! 1 Link to comment https://www.videogamesage.com/forums/topic/14237-pretty-insane-sealed-sega-find/#findComment-392683 Share on other sites More sharing options...
