DefaultGen | 5,410 Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 Sealed mint PS1 "rares" on life support even 9.8 A++, sheeeeesh. I mean everything is crashing, just crazy to see stuff like this not even get off the ground, as much as they are "old collector" games. 2 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean everything is crashing, just crazy to see stuff like this not even get off the ground, as much as they are "old collector" games. I mean, to those of us who have been shaking our heads at the whole WATA debacle for the past 2-3 years, it's not really too shocking, honestly. A lot of these games are finally settling down to where they really should have been this whole time--still overpriced to those of us not in the sealed/super mint game, but within the realm of reason for even us, meaning folks who do collect in that sphere aren't having to cough up the equivalent of 2-3 houses just for a sealed copy of a super common game. This is simply the market correcting to around where it really should have been this whole time, without all the crazy pump-and-dump investors radically skewing all the numbers. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

final fight cd | 187 Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 Does anybody know who bought it? The number of people spending that kind of money on video games can’t be that big of a pool. I wonder if the person bought the copy for 144k also bought this one. Like maybe he/she put in a couple bids to raise the price to try to protect his/her investment only to win it again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OptOut | 8,889 Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 Sniffing around a few YouTube chats and Discord groups for sealed and graded collectors, people are really feeling deflated. Apparently the next great hope for these guys is that a bunch of "fresh blood" from comic and card collectors are going to flood into the scene once CGC comes on to the market with their grading, but honestly I'm calling that the purest of all hopium... Why were all these guys trying to build a hobby on the back of secondhand interest from other collecting communities?! Isn't that just the dumbest way to go about building up a sustainable future for what is meant to be the next big collectable boom? Looks like a lot of them have started to figure out that this whole thing was dumb, at least, expensive lesson, but lesson learned... I wonder how the dentist is getting on... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're absolutely not trying to build a hobby, they're trying to get the next wave of money laden investors and suckers involved so that they can do more pumping and dumping. While the value of something in one's collection is certainly nice, it's absolutely not the first priority or point of enjoyment for any true collector. "New blood" to interact with can be nice, but anybody who's collected for a decent amount of time and put any thought into it will realize that the more collectors there are in a given collecting hobby, the more competition there's going to be, causing prices to go up, availability to go down, etc., all bad things for anyone whose primary interest in a collecting hobby is actually collecting. If someone's primary motivation and actions within a collecting hobby is to flip stuff for as much as possible, as often as possible, they're really not part of that collecting community at all, regardless of what they profess. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrWunderful | 2,927 Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 The thing that sticks in my mind is the guy or group that bought that dumb mario for a mil and half. Literally threw away at least a million dollars. The dude that sold it though made out like a straight up bandit though. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
