Oh man, I have been waiting for this one. I have $120k set aside from a second mortgage just for this guy!

Yikes! I pray your power & cell tower goes out in the sametime before the auction is over. #j/k.not.j/k 

For reference, an 9.2 A+ round soq sold on HA for $28,800. Whereas a 9.6 A+ round soq sold for $60,000 that very same day. I am thinking the one on sale is valued somewhere in between.

Investors - those in it for the money, i.e. the watawtfbbqsealed crowd

Like a whale or white whale. i.e.: the dentist guy from Florida.

According to sellers description, "No side deals or BIN."

1. How many of the 114 watchers thought about it or done it and failed?

2. How many from this community thought about it or tried it and failed?

listing here

1. Is the h-seam legit? Its thin and almost too good to be true.

2. Overall condition is almost too good to be true minus cellophane damage. I am aware what 9.8 A+ on HA sold for. I was a live spectator only.

3. Now that I made this announcement. HOw many of you will publicly admit to snipping towards the end? Me me me me! 

4. Before anyone get stinkeye or eyelid vein start twitching. I call dibs lol. #j/k.not.j/k

I mean, Terminator is a moderately successful movie franchise. The games, so far as I remember, were garbage, and they're not at all significant in the larger context of "the Terminator franchise". Nobody's making new Terminator movies or TV shows or whatever based on content from the ancient very meh video games.

And it's not like the franchise itself is going from strength to strength; just about everything associated with it since the second movie (in 1991!) has been, at best, okay. It's nowhere near the status it had right after T2 came out.

The recent one Resistance on Xbox One I thought was alright. It wasn't great nor bad either. It was somewhat non-linear. As far as the other games go, Ill agree. But as a fan of the movie franchise, I want to be able to collect everything. If the price is out of my budget, then I either wait for an opportunity to present itself or settle on a CIB.

What you said above can be said about the Alien franchise too.

Did anyone notice Garry Kitchen's Battletank title missing from the pop report?

All you need is Oblivion and Skyrim and you're good for the next 3 years lol. 

Good luck finding an affordable copy unless your wealthy than nvm. First prints are both expensive and hard to find because there are a lot of reseals that look genuine. But if you're a fan of Bethesda and their franchises, its a must have for your collection. Oblivion first print are the T rating ESRB and Skyrim first print is the art cover w/o the 10/10 award.

I have the highest graded at 9.4 A+ on there.  On T2 I had to go with an SNES Judgment Day copy which is also 9.4 A+ and not easy to find.

How do you put a price on the game, given there aren't many past sales to go by or use as reference?

Terminator is a successful franchise; I wonder why there aren't more sealed games online? I searched active/sold on Goldin, CC, CL, HA, Goodwill, OfferUp, Mercari, MinusWorld, Microsoft Bing shopping, Google shopping and found nothing useful.

From the information I gathered (correct me if I am wrong):

Terminator NES: H-seam, made in Japan.

T2 Judgement Day NES: Unsure what the seam is since examples are hard to find, made in USA.

T2 The Arcade Game SNES: Third-party H-Overlap seam, Assembled in Mexico (Majesco). Unsure if there is a 'made in Japan' variant.

T2 Judgement Day SNES: First-party V-Seam, made in Japan.

Real question, can anyone clarify how to see sold listings?  I tried advanced search clicking sold to see all and I see nothing.  Haven't created an account though, do you have to be logged in?

 

Go to the bottom until you see the Recent Sold tab or use the <> arrows.

Question for MW owner: When browsing the sold listings as a non-member and clicking on a random listing. Where is the sold date?

Okay, who is hoarding all the Terminator NES games?? In two years of searching on ebay, all I can find is one seller with a used Walmart copy trying to pass off as new.

Just didn't expect to find Game of Thrones spoilers in here. 

I saved you 8 seasons of "Winter is Coming" bs, your welcome.

Only people who spoiled Game of Thrones was the fucking writers! 

And the director. They could have easily stretched the show out a couple of more seasons.

If you want to get into movies, invest in HD DVD movies, there can't be that many of them. The format died shortly after the release of the PlayStation 3.

Agreed. HD DVDs became really cheap after losing the HD war. I remember buying hundreds of movies as a bundle for like $50s, back when I used to own a Xbox 360 HD DVD player extension. I haven't shopped for any in many years but kept a few on the side. Anyone remember the movie Streets of Fire?

@CodysGameRoom - Why are you angry at my comment?

yeah the sad reality is that speedrun is more like story/casual mode right now. mine was received in august as well, not expecting the order back until january at the soonest.

for reference, my mid-may speedrun didn't come back until late september.

Hopefully Wata's new overlord restructures the service levels and make them more robust or efficient to meet the current demand.

IGS grades DVDs too as well as DVD sets (up to a certain thickness). I've already sent and received a bunch.

Shit. I sold all of my dvds, little by little to the pawn shop a long time ago. I remember Walmart used to sell them for $5 than $1 in a bin. Now all I see are blurays. Guess I better start hoarding blurays.

I thought it was VHS that was the next boom, that one already over and they're onto dvd?

It is. IGS grades VHS, idk who grades DVDs.

Here are VHS top active listings and top sold listings.

Here are DVD top active listings and top sold listings.

yeah their armor prolly not as strong as plot armor. plot armor is basically like starting a new game at lvl 99.

LOL I know. 

Fucking Valyrian steel.  This reminds me of "The Sword of a Thousand Truths" from Make Love, Not Warcraft episode.

iirc, the Night King and some lieutenants had armor on or was it ice armor? Idr.

Just now, tidaldreams said:

i call dibs on arya stark

............how she killed the Night King in season 8 was kind of like "eh". How did he not foresee this? Was he too cocky to believe he could take Winterfell? If I was the Night King, I would've encircled Winterfell and send the rest of the WWs south to sack all the other kingdoms. More meat for the army. Then circle back to Winterfell. I would've sent my lieutenants after Bran and bring him to me (Night King).

No it won't. There are 5 active video game grading companies in existence the US right now with even more to come and all of them are backlogged. The hobby is exploding and will continue to grow.

Much better. Worldwide there are others.

NA: VGA, Wata, IGS, P1 and VGG. Under construction in US: CGC Video Games

EU: UKG (UK) and RGS (Germany). There could be more but these are all I know.

SA: ??? (unsure if there is one)

AS: ??? (unsure if there are any)
