    Does anyone else use Crypto.com? How in the f do you withdraw money from there?

    I rarely send in CIB to grade, but if I get a title I like and it's just in insanely good condition, I'll do it. I get terrified to open up the contents of super nice CIB anyways, so it's not like I'm missing out there. Then I'll just get a shitty copy to play/flip through. So I don't think I fall into any of those categories

    Doesn't really make sense that he'd have 1 of each of those from that long ago buried in the attack. Also, the wrap looks too loose. I'd say fake, and even if not, they most likely would have weighed them if they knew that price was a lowball.

    That is 100% my life in collecting also lol

    New things

    I wanted to bump this because I'm still very curious. Did Microsoft sell games like this online? Used/like new and send them off sealed? Just trying to figure this out. Thanks in advance!

    DK 64 is done. Watched all the weird Dolphin ending credits, as the Gamecube was supposed to be named, but didn't snap a pic. I can grab one of the 101% if that suits you all, but it's done.

    DK 64 will be done tomorrow night. Me and my bro happened to start it up 2 weeks ago.
  11. 3rdStrongestMole
    PM'd!

    That is utterly terrifying

    All it makes me think is that he really doesn't know, which kind of nullifies the tactic. That aside, he could've just put first print and said nothing about it in the description. It wouldn't come across like he's trying to keep information from potential buyers. Just my two cents. When you figure it out, buy your copy elsewhere and save some $$!!

    Lol "don't ask me how I know, I just know". Great sales tactic. Sure to get a lot of viable interest with that approach.

    I think the problem more has to do with the ambiguity of grading in general. I would expect a game that got resubbed 5 or 6 times to receive 2 or 3 different grades. That's not a good thing...

    Once again, no SNES to speak of. But I couldn't pass up this Sega lot with console and two controllers included. The kid who grew up with these kept everything in great condition, all manuals, reg cards, inserts, etc. included. He also left a couple handwritten codes and stuff on separate pieces of paper. Always love that added touch.
  17. 3rdStrongestMole
    But did they ever specify if inserts were included in CIB before? I mean, they always accepted only cart, manual, box as CIB.

    What the hell were they thinking, grading ROM hacks to begin with?? Now, this disaster. Ouch lol. I grade(d) through WATA and this is really unsettling. It says game was graded in 2021. Is this the first time it's hit the limelight?

    I love old price tags on games as long as the placement isn't terrible

    Sales numbers don't back this up at all. If a sealed game is decidedly in great condition and looks like it will grade A+, 9.6, whatever, people will pay a lot for it. But, if that same game is already graded and stamped with an A+ 9.6, it will sell for markedly more. This is why people buy sealed, grade, and flip. It always helps from a sales standpoint to have a third party give their input on condition, especially if that third party is recognized. Now, if you want to talk legitimacy of grading companies, etc., that's a whole different story.

    So hard to get any CIB over 9.0 especially NES. I think maybe what it is more than anything is people having a really nice box or cart and submitting the whole thing and then the manual gets a low grade and ruins the average. I'm about to submit a pretty pristine Ghostbusters 2 CIB so we'll see how it goes, but I'll be stoked if it's over 9.0

    I'll never be able to get into the sign market ($$), but they always look so damn beautiful on display. I'm very envious. Looking forward to pics of the World of Nintendo fiberoptic.

    Not SNES, but a huge score for the 64 collection, which I now have rounded out with nearly every 64 game I could want (to play, that is). Wife got it for me for Christmas!

    Well, technically no TMNT 5 screws should exist. Konami/Ultra 5 screws aren't contingent on release times since they were probably factory refurbs.
