3rdStrongestMole | 430 Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Wata needs to get their turnaround times in check before beefing up the market even more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems the frenzy has spread onto other Xbox 360 titles: CoD MW and BO, GoW, Minecraft, Fallout, The Elder Scrolls, Halo and w/e else people think is valuable. Many of these games are not hard to find. This reminds of someone who posted on the "wata turnaround times" topic having 10 copies of GB Pokémon red, blue and yellow; waiting to be graded. Then someone else responded something like plz don't flood the market all at once. Why assume this would hurt the market value? Those games are hard to find. Thats like saying if someone were to list on ebay, 10 factory sealed ungraded minty copies of SMB nes (any variation). Would people think this saturation hurt the market? I doubt it.

WarMech | 82 Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 Just wrapped up a follow-up call as well a little while ago. TL:DR edition, some of my items may be making it to auction in October or February. I can give some additional details on my discussion as well if people want to hear more, and having you guys following the process may be beneficial so I don't make any potential mistakes going forward if I decide to pull the trigger, but yeah, this has been interesting to say the least. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reached out to them, with an initial list of 9 games, most of which were already seen here in the sealed game forum. I was honestly not expecting a callback from them, but those 9 alone went past their minimum for going to auction, and now they are going through my list of 166 to trim down what they would potentially want to sell, which I will then trim again to see what I want to go with. We conversed a little bit on some previous items that sold as well and just did some Q&A on the whole process - I just found the whole process thus far to be interesting. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And no, Valerie did not contact me, though that was who I reached out to initially. She forwarded it to someone else who also works in the category.

Are you saying that through Heritage you could get your games expedited through the grading system at Wata in time for an October auction? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rep did say to expect them to more than likely be ready for a February auction over October. He thought they might be ready for October until I mentioned the WATA backlog.

They definitely do that for the true cream of the crop stuff. They hinted a sealed Zelda TM and some sealed long boxes (Resident Evil, Twisted Metal, etc.) that they are doing just that. It's not that hard to get something through the Warp Zone queue door to door in less than a month which is still plenty of time for October.

Andy_Bogomil | 815 Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 I gotta reach out to Heritage here soon myself. I have a few sealed games I'd be interested in getting graded and I've also wondered about switching from VGA to WATA but those % premium on overall value are a huge deterrent from WATA. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
