'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 Puke and Ian be like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DefaultGen | 5,413 Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 Unreleased-ish SNES game for $720 and GBC Demo Cart for $500 seem like kinda good deals. Like really, a Spawn Armageddon review disc outsold them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recall reading about people who get together and split the cost of such games. It's an investment, and so say 10 people each contribute 1/10 the cost with the assumption the game will appreciate in value and they will will make a tidy profit years down the road. Yeah, apparently not always... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonebone | 1,307 Posted November 5, 2023 Share Posted November 5, 2023 People need to remember it's not title specific and it's just the entire collectible market in general. I think the Zelda II 9.8 A+ was sold at $102k and then closed at $14kish this weekend too (same exact copy). Crazy sports cards sold for $750k+ that have barely hit $100k when relisted recently too. The thing about markets is that they go way higher than they should when money is flowing easily and people are spending recklessly. Then they bottom out way lower than they should when money is tight, people are scared and are being very careful with their purchases. The case has always been not to spend more than you can afford to lose. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RegularGuyGamer | 2,013 Posted November 5, 2023 Share Posted November 5, 2023 It's not hard imagine people who were successful and experiencing the biggest bull market of our lifetimes watching their accounts swell beyond recognition from stocks, crypto, and collectibles spend recklessly thinking the markets would just go up. The writing was on the wall for me. I got a couple of things I had laying that I was haphazardly holding around graded, cashing in on some things I had held for over a decade. One of them was a No. 1 NP that was a CGC 8.5 for almost $3k. Looking now, I see a 9.4 not cracking the $2k mark. The thing about that sale too was I had it up for like $4k, the buyer submitted a great offer and turned around and listed it for $4.5k which it went unsold, at least on eBay. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CIB_Wholesale | 418 Posted November 5, 2023 Share Posted November 5, 2023 all or most your sealed games are from the RB collection provenance remember when they forgot to add that to all the provenance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another take is if we flip it around, and eBay prices suddenly go 10-100 times that of general going prices from yesterday. If these prices aren’t found as high in any other selling platforms, how would we believe the eBay market now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If these prices aren’t found as high in any other selling platforms, how would we believe the eBay market now? well back in the NA days would be debates about certain ebay auctions being shilled. that conversation is basically evaporated. somehow ebay is this low comp and YOUR item is surely to land equal or MORE than price charting. sometimes OBVIOUSLY 2-3X price charting I think this video does a good job of explaining it. Your really cant win over and over and over and over again by miles. It's not possible because of math. Each one of those huge prices has atleast 1 2nd bidder who is claiming they are willing to pay close to the same amount. That 2nd bidder should carry over to other venues...... and yes to your point a site like ebay would be the first site to show gains. not a site with no where close to the traffic as ebay Edited November 7, 2023 by CIB_Wholesale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanooki | 4,936 Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 I think this is quite relevant to this thread, WATA too, ads inside aside give Karl 10min and watch this epic implosion on the sealed racket HA/WATA caused. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
final fight cd | 187 Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 (edited) 97% drop but still too rich for me and the vast majority of people. These games are still 4 or 5 or even 6 digits. how much did resident drop? But it is still worth more than a lot of nice cars. Using a percentage to signify the drop I think only tells a partial story. It isn’t like these games are now worth 10s or 100s.

Really innovative, classic, rare games that are sealed will continue to appreciate. Some of them were absolutely overpriced for numerous reasons, be it market manipulation as we have discussed, or simply the economy was doing well and numerous people jumped on the bandwagon. That said, you can see on eBay that graded games are still booming and in the future will be a bigger and bigger thing. That's not necessarily bad.
