4/10, He's always been hugely overrated to me.

older the better, welcome!

Paying $400 for a factory sealed Dreamcast copy of Skies of Arcadia in good shape with no cracks/tears.  If you have the kiddie (gamecube) version I'd consider that as well.  Also looking for the last 3 cib's I need for the set.  Would consider sealed for these as well.

It's this one  https://cgagrading.com/videogamegrader/

I hate people on ebay who have a best offer, but either ignore you or flat out reject the offer!  At least have the decency to make a counter offer!!!!!!   Frickin people I swear!

You should keep in mind that ebay auto enables best offer on any BIN listing.  So if they forgot to uncheck the box or though they already did then a lot of times your offer is the first time they realize it was even on there.  So if they didn't mean it to even be there then they were likely firm on their price, hence the counter.  Happens to me all the time, but I always send a message back like "hey sorry, wasn't meaning to accept offers on this" or whatever.

*WE. GRADE. EVERYTHING.

*assuming it fits into one of our 5 case sizes

I could be wrong but I don't think Wata grades PS3 yet anyways.  So easy choice for those if you decide to do it.

Yup, i will be doing that in the future. He has 2 other games for sale right now, both graded. Both are 90/90+. One has pictures of the front and back. And the other is just a picture of the front. 

So hard to say if he hid the flaws on purpose. But he definitely collects and sells graded games, so he definitely should know better IMO to point out flaws like this. I am sure if he were buying, he would want to know of major defects like that on what is supposed to be a gold grade. 

Interesting, at least he's consistent that way (I'd check his sold listings too).  A 90 ish would be a good example too.   Most sellers would want to show just how nice that item was, maybe it wasn't on purpose.  Still, I wouldn't feel bad about filing a claim if you don't want to keep it.  There's no reason for him to not show all sides or disclose flaws.

Just another example of buy the game, not the grade.  As previously mentioned eBay will basically force the seller to take the return 99% of the time, but I applaud you for trying tot do the right thing.  In my opinion I'd say you have a case if there weren't pictures of each side.  The only real reason not to include them is to hide flaws.  Check his other listings.....see if he takes a picture of each side in those.

Here's my dog Link, and I used to have a cat named Hudson.

tempting, I have all 3 and will keep you in mind.  good luck with your search

Working for me just fine for whatever that's worth

Did that SNES / Sony CD unit ever sell on Heritage?  If so what did it go for?  TIA

I think bidding starts on friday

Whoa, why is the first I'm hearing of this?   Awesome man, what kind of timetable are you guys looking at?

I think we will see it in the very near future. Gold's are nothing more than grey bootlegs. Literally anybody that owns a grey cart right now, can purchase one of these extremely well done gold reproduction cases, and throw their grey board into it. I'd be amazed if anybody could distinguish it from a "real" one.

I don't have a crystal ball to know if Gray's will surpass Gold at some point, but if so this won't be the reason why.  There's several stupid things that make one version of something more collectible than another of that same thing.  First 3 prints of SMB are merely separated by a sticker for example.  Bootlegs and fakes are also a thing in any collecting category.  I'm sure I wouldn't be able to tell which one was fake (maybe side by side in person) but I'm confident experts would be able to.  Again, just like I couldn't tell the difference between two Mona Lisa's or some random coin, etc...  Provenance will come into play in the future as well.

looking for loose or complete?

This is awesome.  Thanks for chiming in.  Would love to see the grey carts surpass the Gold ones. It's odd to think that literally anybody that has a grey cart, could theoretically make a gold cart

Hard to picture that happening anytime soon, maybe someday but gold has always been 'the thing'.  Plus it doesn't seem like a month goes by without seeing someone offer gray plus cash for a gold one.

Final Fight CD is a great port so if you enjoyed the arcade this would be a 'must play'.  Another vote for Dungeon Explorer, which is a different game than the one on Turbografx, but like that one is more fun if you have others to play with you.

Sell your sealed copy to someone then buy a no-seal copy and keep the change. 

Yeah but good luck grabbing a NS in whatever game you have.  I'd just eat the C seal or whatever it turns out to be.  Just like VGA's qualified grades, NS is stupid/gimmicky imo.

PRGE, Midwest Gaming Classic and Too Many Games are the 3 that come to mind for me. 

Yeah these are the 3 'big ones' I believe.  CCAG (Classic Console and Arcade Gaming) is a very popular Cleveland area one.  You can't even get a vending table unless you know someone, they sell out instantly.

Ayyyy! A few new awards for the weirdos that collect weird games for weird consoles...

@Quaze

@DefaultGen and @Archon 1981 it's your time to shine with that Odyssey 2 badge.  On behalf of those two gentleman we need a 3DO badge, and I'd like to request Turbografx and Turbo CD/DUO (if you consider them separate) and Dreamcast.

Gimme
