It’s literally not possible for a company run by humans to be “flawless.”

It’s a silly mistake, they should apologize, fix it, refund RoyalT, and move on. The bigger issues are still communication and lack of expansion, which is certainly exacerbating mistakes like this. Not to speak for him, but if Royal had confidence this would be fixed quickly, I doubt he’d have posted this. 

 

Anything is possible, their goal should be to be "flawless". As a company you don't strive to be "good" you strive to be "flawless or perfect" especially when it comes to grading. Build a strong brand first, then let the happy customers promote your brand for you. Maybe WATA should focus more on quality control and customer service rather than trying to get their name in the headlines. As for RoyalT, he HAD to take this public since they were not responding to him in any way possible, which shows he had zero confidence in them when they choose not to take his issues seriously. I bet any money they responded in a hurry after this went public... Like Wolfman said this completely diminishes their reputation,  especially with their inability in correcting a idiotic (not silly) mistake like this, when there were told about it numerous times. Kinda hard to defend this one...

Shouldn’t a grading company be absolutely flawless? I mean isn’t that why you would use that service? 
 

In RoyalT’s case this is straight up pathetic. I would be choked after waiting that long, especially with the poor customer service. There is no excuse for this. 


 

Thanks for taking the time to say Hai! Yami

Hey alekx I already made that joke

Has time to post his thoughts on here but doesn’t have the time to text me anymore. Classy assy 

Hi Guy

I was killerkobra in NA and I am killerkobra here....

I just posted that to get my post count up......................................

WATA itself as a service is fine in my book, I guess. Competition for VGA can only bring out the best in both companies (in theory). 
 

The issue for me is the constant pumping of tires. The puffery pump and dump through Heritage Auctions which has resulted in the inflation of so many other games due to the trickle down effect. This has created the buzz words “1st Edition” and “hangtab” which has (momentarily I hope) taking over the current scene. Unfortunately setting a new bar for many games which will most likely never come down from. This has resulted  my myself changing gears in my collecting. 

So is WATA good for the Hobby ? Ultimately No, not for the collector. 

Extremely happy to see this forum. I haven’t been active on NintendoAge for a long long time. Who is the reigning evil overlord, who all must worship????
