VGA's pop report was imminent... 6 months later, crickets. Wata, we know about the overpromising. GameValueNow was supposed to have major changes and improvements... has pretty much died. I fault people for believing everything they hear as factual more than the companies for overpromising. That's what companies always do. My point is not about companies not delivering on their promises. My point is CGC is losing money in their video game grading endeavor with every passing day they're not open for business.

inasuma | 1,203 Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 6 hours ago, iLikePssys said: I have really considered creating a new grading company, because IMO it isnt that difficult to actually meet the "user demands" specially once being on the other side, and I really cant understand why these companies are actually doing what we ask, because the resources required are not that much. The only problem I see is it would be difficult to get people grading if the company is new. Question is, would you consider sending your games for grading to a new company that offers fair pricing, "fast" turnaround times, fair grading scores and live population report on their website kind of as PSA works? I think you’d quickly find difficulty in meeting the demand wata has seen without sufficient infrastructure. Which is why their move to PSA HQ is a big deal. but I mean, sure. It worked out well for p1g and vgg so let’s just make more grading companies lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retro.magnus | 136 Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 Echoing what others have said. Orders sent to CA are significantly faster. I placed an order on 1/31, shipped to them on 2/3, and they received it the following week and it was transferred to CA. I got it back 3/22. I have another order I submitted on 12/16, shipped 12/17 to CO it's still in post grading. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gulag Joe | 582 Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 The turnaround times are fast now because most of the people who collect video games already sent all their games out to Wata and VGA. There's not that many games left to grade because they're scarce and rare AF. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

inasuma | 1,203 Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 Shipped a warp zone order to CA on Monday last week, went into post-grading by Friday. Not sure how long grades take to show up but hopefully soon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speculation on my part but it appears that order after some date (Nov? Oct?) all got transferred to Cali while the other backlog stayed in Denver. I can tell when I get a return shipment from Denver or Cali as they are packed different. It's clearly two separate facilities clearing it all out until Denver is finally closed for good after backlog complete. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they don't value new business over old, then please explain how it is that all new submissions aren't automatically going to the end of the queue versus the beginning, and people who have been waiting months, if not literal years to get their stuff are still waiting.

Some people submitted under the Turbo tier, they will take longer. Some people submitted orders without any DVD size games, they don't require cases that aren't in stock so they can be shipped out first. It looks like California is more efficient so all games needing to be transferred from Denver are taking longer, that makes sense. So yes, orders will get returned out of order.

Did you not read my post? Cali is clearing out games way faster than Denver, and they were only able to move so many Denver games over to Cali. Cali games are hitting posted times, Denver games are graded and taking much longer to return ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
