AnimalHouse | 117 Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 powerupvideogames Anyone noticed what happened? She sell thousands of video games, including several hundred (maybe a thousand) factory sealed NES ungraded/graded. I was going through my watchlist, when I noticed all the listings have ended with a msg, "This listing was ended by the seller because the item is no longer available." I would msg her but she has a tendency of not replying. I'm thinking she either sold her entire collection to a private buyer or her bad customer service skills finally caught up to her and got her suspended.

tidaldreams | 654 Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 This seller has had a bit of a rocky history, but her store is so big I doubt she cares. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexkidd401 | 20 Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 (edited) Did she get a seat on the board of Wata and Heritage Auctions? Very interesting timing lol. I kid... Edited August 26, 2021 by alexkidd401 Grammar 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeatherRebel5150 | 1,056 Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 Theres been a few big sellers ive seen disappear entirely on ebay. Im talking multiple 10’s of thousands of feedback and always had hundreds of items listed, and then one day they just poof gone. I wonder if some of them just get fed up with ebay and move on elsewhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CIB_Wholesale | 418 Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 (edited) regardless of money, sealed games and cib have been disappearing since they were created and 2016-current has never been on a faster pace with all the new grading companies they are going to have to start competing with eachother for a very small and shrinking population. IMO raw/ungraded has always looked the best probably took everything down to reprice and determine which games go to which grading company or maybe the grading companies are offering bulk consignments Edited August 26, 2021 by SealedWholesale 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RegularGuyGamer | 2,018 Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 To have all that inventory, they have to have a store front. No one is getting that array of vidya, or that volume, in this climate cherry picking market place and hitting up yard sales. The two store front owners I know got off ebay years ago. When the demand for retro games are what they are, you don't need to service the country. The community is enough for mose businesses to be sustainable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonanza125 | 55 Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 Maybe they are dealing with a personal issue and can't ship stuff out at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to view her "items for sale" page every week, using sort newly listed. She sells thousands (IIRC 4-7K range) of video games, mostly ungraded (New, CIB, loose) and some (100+) graded VGA/Wata. Every month until she disappeared, she would recycle her old listings but also list new ones I haven't seen before. Including 50+ ungraded sealed NES games from July/Aug. 6 hours ago, Bonanza125 said: Maybe they are dealing with a personal issue and can't ship stuff out at the moment. That's another possibility but I doubt she is a 1 person operation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's this guy chrisz300zx, he had thousands of listings (mostly dropship) from every gaming merchandise online store you can think of. He dropped from radar like 3 months ago but has 3 active listings. Every time Limited Run Games released new games, he would have exact listings up and running almost immediately. Early on it was him, later others caught on and replicated what he did. They sell something they don't have or won't be released until 6 months later.
