ExplodedHamster | 404 Posted November 22, 2019 Author Share Posted November 22, 2019 Well, we now have someone publicly saying they’re gonna bid over 100k on the MegaMan and they know of someone else who plans to complete. Popcorn... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DefaultGen | 5,328 Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 Kid Klown way ahead of Myriad. Send help. Maybe I missed the historical significance of Kid Klown, after all Myriad is just some random rarity... compared to Kid Klown! (Kid Klown is kinda good though) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At a glance a 9.8 CIB is more impressive than a 9.8 NS IMO, so that's kind of weird. I guess you're talking about the fact that someone paid to have an unsealed Wario's friggin' Woods graded... yeah.

Popcorn... Believe nothing you hear and only one half of what you see - Edgar Allen Poe. I don't put a lot of faith in he said / she said comments unless I know the person first hand. It will end up where it ends up. And call me crazy, but if I really wanted a game, I sure wouldn't be revealing my price publicly. Hence why a lot of people are quiet on speculating where games may end... they may have interest in bidding on some themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that is a very bizarre game. It should be graded as a 9.8 NS Sealed game if it is "Sealed" New. Showing up as a 9.8 CIB without grading the inner contents seems like a label error.

ThePhleo | 2,179 Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 (edited) So someone basically stole a loose Stadium Events today. $6,500 ($7,800 w/ Premium) Either that, or we back around the sub-$10k range again....or they screwed up by ending every auction at the exact same second. Edit: Also, I'm super excited I decided to buy that Arcade Mario instead of Wrecking Crew months ago I had to make a choice which one to pickup and I made the right one. I can still afford a Wrecking Crew, but no way in hell I can ever justify paying 5 figures for an arcade port of a game released earlier on other consoles.

DefaultGen | 5,328 Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 (edited) If Bubble Bobble is $7000, what's Contra, $50000?

jonebone | 1,307 Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 Mega Man hammer 62.5k or 75k with bid premium. Once again, talk is cheap on the internet. Those 100k bidders sure showed up, lol. Edit: @Jedisam2013 I called $75k as my point estimate, wouldn't you believe that? Your 75k-90k was pretty close.

jonebone | 1,307 Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 So far the best deal IMO has been Excitebike 9.4 / A+ at $3k ($3600) with BP. True story, I graded that one raw as 85+ and traded Dain for his 85 and cash at the time. If I didn't already own that title I would have tried to win that one myself. Very good price on that condition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not an error, it is a new and unopened box with the seal removed. The better term would be New not Sealed, but the industry has already settled on terms even if they aren't perfect. The PAL SE on this auction is the same way, as that is how it was shipped and how most of the rest of the world shipped games to stores outside the US. It would be a foolish disservice to open new games and grade them CIB when they are not. Games that have the factory seal removed or replaced by a retail store from snags and shelf damage are not uncommon and do exist so we label them as such. I'm enjoying watching these auctions though, there are a lot of common items selling for record prices and a lot of rarities flying under the radar. Happy bidding fellas.

But haven't you guys been grading Sealed games that are New with No Seal as Sealed with a NS rating? That Wario holder says CIB on the front. If it wasn't opened and graded as CIB, then it shouldn't have a CIB holder I would think... Edit: @DefaultGen beat me to it. That picture is the point we were making.

I contacted Heritage to fix the error, so I appreciate the heads up here. The Cart and Manual are 9.6 for those interested. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
