Someone paid $180 USD for a 7.0 condition Super Mario Bros. / Duck Hunt cartridge. Weird! maybe bidders thought the box was some original rarity?

They really should not grade the repro box. And that's what I meant, if you're just quickly looking at the auction without reading any details, you might not even know it's a repro box, maybe that's why it was sold for far more than it's really worth.

Gulag Joe | 584 Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 Call of Duty- the first full PC version of the game. Same grade. Same grading company. The one on HA sells for $2,000 more dollars than the one on eBay. Is it buyer stupidity, someone who doesn’t watch eBay, or both? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sold a raw that was probably about 80+ a couple months back at auction for $350ish? $400-$500 is fair value of an 80+ yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think either people get excited at Heritage auctions, or the buyers in those auctions are simply a different demographic and have no time to waste on peasant eBay auctions.

Heritage is not indicative of fair market value, ebay is a better pace of that. HA is just much more volatile with more uninformed bidders. All collectors use ebay. Many collectors do not go after HA items and it is more reflective of speculators and investors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'did you get 10x offers from years previous in the last 5 years?' the answer might surprise you sort of like saying: lets talk about basketball in the 90s but dont mention the bulls at all let me draw you a picture 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
