SCORE! Wow I haven't seen a Goldeneye 6-pack in a very long time. Just think you are the first person to lay eyes on this beauty since it came out of the factory. The last time I seen one being opened was at GameStop a long time ago in a galaxy far far away.

What a waste nonetheless.

I order games all the time from Canada and Europe and never experienced what you are going through. *knock on wood* Maybe CBP has a policy on anything coming from south of the border must be opened? You know because of the illegal substances that is wreaking havoc in this country.

Hmm do you have the option to return to the source? Explain to the seller what wata told you and what you might think happened. If the seller was smart, he/she would insure the package. That way all is not lost.

True but the title was worded as SEALED. Not POSSIBLY RESEALED or READ DESCRIPTION RESEALED. Not all buyers read the description. They might read the title or look at the photos only. I know it sounds silly, but many buyers are lazy and will not spend the time to scroll down or swipe down to read on.

OUch!!!! Anything is possible. Maybe someone in custom border familiar with video games swapped it out with an open one? Did you buy the game from ebay and used wata as the delivery address?

Watch out collectors!! An ebay seller recently tried to pass off several reseal copies as legit to unsuspecting buyers. Though her plans were foiled and received many negative feedback. I wonder how many more fake h-seams are out in the wild and how do you spot them to be fake? Past sales: link here

It should read "1 of 2", ebays terapeak product research found 4 copies sold: 3 raw and 1 graded 8.5 A, link here. The raw copies are probably stuck in wata/vga backlog pile lol. There's 1 raw copy available, link here.

Anyone who is tech savvy will figure out his source. When there is a lot of money to be made. Deceptive tactics will be implemented by shady actors. I don't understand why some pple feel the need to share this with the world? If I had acquired a collection of this magnitude, nobody would hear about it. It would be like area 51 secrecy. Ah Storage Wars...Great show! Brandi, Mary and Rene's wife are all smoking hot. Nuff said.

Video Games auction, link here Wow, this auction is almost 4x the size of Goldens, with 761 results vs 196 results. So many video games to choose from. I feel like a kid in a candy store lol.

Join the club. I hope they sell them raw on ebay. I would like to own some, reasonable price of course.

Uh didn't Fryer64 post this same video here?

Spotted a new golden auction, link here. Holy tiledo a Masters of the Universe Intellivision Wata 9.8 A++?! Wow did not know one graded this high existed. Drooling at the thought of owning this gem.

Maybe the seller thinks a custom form is required to ship to AK/HI?

Q for OP: Could I buy the game but before shelving it raw. Take a photograph and sell it online as an NFT? This way I can keep the grail level item and make money on it too.

If the game in question is a holy grail unicorn. You're in luck. Otherwise, don't quit your day job lol. As long as the video game market doesn't have a bubble burst or black Monday.

At 0:13 - Can you check with your friend on T2 SNES, if this is made in Japan or Mexico? Judging by the amount of games in the video. The owner is looking at a costly grading investment. If I was the owner, I would sell some games on ebay, generate income and use it towards sending other games to wata. Again, if I was the owner. I wouldn't put all my eggs in one basket. Diversify them into multiple channels. Golden Auctions, ebay, CC, CL and others.

Deep pocket investor strikes again lol

Gosh I remembered when a sealed Mario Bros sold in auction for $38,000+ on ebay. Now theres a sticker sealed Gyromite in auction right now, link here. Man this game is very hard to find sealed, let alone sticker sealed. With 3 past sale examples to choose from heritage. I will take a back seater on this and watch only.

Not mine. Someones setup I spotted on ebay. I like it when pple show off there collections in the background. Kudos to the Nintendo shelves. link here and here

I forgot the date the auction was ending and missed the beginning. After that, as Gulag Joe mentioned above, the rest didn't appeal to me but I was curious to see what they end for. Skimming through the list, I spotted (2) Mario Tennis Aces and took this prt sc. What a $ difference between the vga 95+ and 100.

Winter Auction - Video Games & Consoles end: February 8&9 link here Did anyone watch or participate in last night's auction and plan to watch or participate in tonight's auction?

Going over each photo from the listing OP provided, I was able to spot multiple imperfections. Which I highlighted in the photos. Its not perfect as OP suggested. Still a nice copy to own, if you can get it at the right price lol.

Do you know if Stanga is one of them? He is from Brazil and has a good selection of games. Mix variety of companies. There is another from the US, seller gradedgamesandvhs. Who sold over 90 P1 graded games. Could be speculation, idk. Other sellers who I recognize from eBay who uses P1 is drobgaming and gamekingdom69 (former utcgames, premogames). Also, I see IGS. Though their niche seems to be centered around VHS than games. People spending hundreds to thousands on VHS tapes is a black hole that I do not want to get into. What's next, laserdisc?
