fiercefoxx | 7 Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 I was recently informed that Heritage Auctions was the way to go when selling rare, factory sealed NES games. If that's so, why on earth did the DW3 sealed copy go for $288 (that means buyer probably got $200 flat at most) last month. Dragon Warrior III Wata 8.5 CIB NES Enix 1992 USA.... Video Games | Lot #97099 | Heritage Auctions (ha.com) I'm baffled, as I did send in a few games and want to send in more (like my DW3 & DW4 sealed, but the going prices seem to be weak for these titles verse eBay, etc.). Thoughts? Insight? Thanks all. This community is awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fiercefoxx | 7 Posted June 10, 2021 Author Share Posted June 10, 2021 Just a bit stunned, as heck, I'd buy DW3 sealed for $288 straight up if graded 8.5. And funny part is, I'm looking to sell mine, haha. Any input is appreciated. Not looking for people to just bash HA, just looking for insight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamW | 713 Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 (edited) It's not sealed. It's CIB. Says so in the description. It's easy to spot WATA CIB vs. WATA sealed if you know what to look for - no letter grade for the seal, lots and lots of writing on the front. edit: if you want a price guide for a sealed copy, they are selling one in their next 'signature' auction, in July: https://comics.ha.com/itm/video-games/dragon-warrior-iii-wata-92-a-sealed-oval-soq-r-nes-enix-1992-usa/p/7261-12001.s?ic4=GalleryView-Thumbnail-071515 Edited June 10, 2021 by AdamW 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Code Monkey | 2,002 Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 Ya, that isn't sealed, it has CIB right in the listing link you posted. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fiercefoxx | 7 Posted June 10, 2021 Author Share Posted June 10, 2021 I'm so dumb. Thanks guys! I just saw the H-seam and assumed it was sealed. Good deal! Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamW | 713 Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 It'll be one of those where they cut the wrap at the top to get the game out, but left it on the box. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
