AnimalHouse | 117 Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 (edited) Did anyone see a sealed Mega Man III GameBoy auction on ebay? I saw it yesterday but forgot to add it on my watchlist.

Thats exactly what happened! Some dingleling came along and flashed 10 grand and the seller sold them. The buyer got a fantastic deal: Mega Man III, Batman the video game and Blaster Master. The buyer can squeeze as much as 30 grand off Mega Man III alone once its graded. I didn't realize backdoor deals are so rampant. I was hoping to see a bidding war at auction.

AnimalHouse | 117 Posted December 11, 2021 Author Share Posted December 11, 2021 Its hard ot say because the game is so scarce. Unless everyone starts coming out of the woodwork and post there MM GameBoys. Like they did with SMB. Your probably right though. Even if the buyer put all his cost into the MM game, he got Blaster Master and Batman for free. Must be nice making pure profit on games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowser | 600 Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 I don't think these prices will sustain. I think the people behind WATA and Heritage Auctions will be dragged to court soon enough for market manipulation and prices will come crashing down. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Courts do not understand or care about collectible markets and there is really nothing even close to breaking actual laws in this. Wata could maybe lose in a case about contractural obligation due to delays, but I doubt even that would happen. Consider what kind of testimony would happen on their side. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoctorEncore | 3,691 Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 (edited) This happens so regularly on eBay now that I just assume all good items will get sold off-site. When something interesting or unique actually makes it to the end of the auction, I'm genuinely surprised.
