I found this article by wata

https://www.watagames.com/learn/blog/post/the-carolina-collection/

This wasn`t an auction , this was a buy it now listing that probably lasted 30 seconds 

And i guess the second hand shop used pricecharting to price it and is happy because they doubled the price

I hope the seller will never find out what he is done

It hurts just looking at this

sorry please ignore

Its some sort of pedigree for games?

That does make some sense to me, but as a fan of wrestling and NES games, I wouldn't want a copy of that because it's awful.

Tecmo World Wrestling was much better 

I also want a Section Z . I enjoyed it  but i remember it was hard without a turbo controller. 

Use Gemini mailers , its the best tool to ship comic books and magazines 

For high value games HA is safer to sell than Ebay.

As crazy as it seems, I guess some of these people are just rich and diversifying for lack of a better term?  Sell a comic book for $50k then dump it into games on HA without really knowing or caring to do research? 

We as collectors know what's a good and bad buy, but if you're just a pure investor who wants to get his toes in the market without knowing, then I guess you just throw lots of money at games that you know by name. 

Yep a good portion of the money comes from comic books 

I think some people with a lot of money are buying videogames because they heard they are "good investments". The guy who won the auction  probably saw Mario Nes prices so he bought "one of the most famous playstation games in high grade  graded by Wata " expecting something similar one day 

Beautiful games!  I Won this auction two days ago

I want to grade it because it looks nice in the Wata box , its a nice way to display it and i am curius what grade the box will  get with a detached flap ?

Here's the front btw

Hello guys i have a Zelda 5 screw edition but the top of the box is detached but its still there. I am planning to send it to Wata . Should i try to repair it or leave it like this? 

Worst time to buy is now , best time to sell is now... I don´t know if you are familiar with the "reserved investments" youtube videos , but i think the guy is right . People who are spending a fortune on videogames aren´t going to be able to get back their money . Spending a lot of money on a videogame just because its scarce its not a good idea. Little Samson for example , maybe i am wrong but i don´t see huge fan base in 5 -10 years ready to pay a fortune for that game just because "its scarce" . 

I am following these titles because i love the long cases and i found this recent finished listing

My lastest purchase a CIB R-Type ii . But i am already selling this because i found another beauty 

My Bionic Commando . The plastic has a tear near the seal but i can`t complain 

Hello everyone , i am Mijael from Mexico City , i grew up playing Nes , Snes and Ps1.

I am comic book collector and i recently discovered retro games because some major sellers like Ha.com , Metropolis , Reece etc are selling now videogames. 

I am actually collecting and pursuing the sealed games that i enjoyed in my childhood
