He’s not even moderating, just acting as a voice of reason and respect. You’d think a former mod would know the difference, but then again you just like Monday morning quarterbacking us.
Sorry, my bad.

I don't get it, pretending something is worth more than it is isn't a crime. It's also not a crime for me to lie to you about its value.
I could literally draw up some charts in Microsoft Paint, fabricate some numbers, have my friends corroborate the values and do media interviews about the sky high prices. If you give me or anyone else money based on your zero research, the fault is yours, not mine. It is fully your responsibility for any investment you make based on any information you accept.
I could tell you Dogecoin is going to be the next official currency of the moon peoples and you better buy it all up. If you actually do that, that's on you. People are acting like it's somehow Deniz's fault that he convinced people to buy things.
Disclaimer: I have no interest in Wata and do not even collect sealed games. I just can't sit here and read about people saying it's anyone else's fault but their own for a bad investment.
Side note: I don't see anyone here discussing how the $100,100 Super Mario Bros. sale wasn't even actually a sale. Deniz mentioned in his deposition weeks ago that the game was never sold, the original owner (Bronty) still retains interest in the game and they made up the sale price for hype. I thought that would have more people upset, that was a pretty shit thing to do.
Fraud isnt a crime in Canada? Thats wild lol

Damn this moderating has gotten crazy lol

I think we need to delineate the idea of grading games from this nonsense.
Yes, I know it was a big scam. A pump-and-dump. Many of us have been talking about it for years (while getting accused of being “anti-grading” and getting warned from mods about it?)
There is still significant utility in authenticating and grading games. I was gonna send some games to wata and cgc (to try them out)
But now maybe just cgc. I want to see how this plays out with wata and their reaction if anything comes of the case.

Please post photos.
Hey there, if you shoot me an email at wunderfulgaming@gmail.com next time I am at my unit I will grab it and email you a picture If In fact, it is a purple bar. I could’ve sworn it was, but I may be mistaken. I think I bought it, even though it had a thrashed label for that specific fact.

I have a beat up purple bar copy of dizzy for gg

Ill vouch for skinny, bought and sold quite a few things with him over the years. Always as described, well packaged and paid for quickly.

Honestly I didn’t think I had anything worth mentioning but after further thought, I did get this pair of Game Factory carts from a seller. $300 for the pair.
Thats a killer deal. Awesome

Nothing rare or particularly desirable, that said - I'd take the Blizzard stuff if you're practically giving it away; I've never actually played StarCraft at all and wouldn't mind giving it a go on my era-appropriate PC, and they look to be in nice display condition.
They are yours if you pay for shipping. They are all complete and in pretty good shape. I think im only owner but dont recall.

is this lot worth anything to the pc gamers? Not going for much on ebay but it feels weird to just donate @Gloves (or any other pc collectors)

Someone offered $2,500 and it seems low, but I'm tempted to take it.
I would. I follow jntsc staurn shooters pretty close, and am actively seeking 75% of those games. Its an outstanding lot, dont get me wrong. Straight bangers in there.
but when i considered making an offer on it i was in the 1600-2000 area. I know the book price is higher, but thats where I was personally. I didnt send an offer because i knew it was low.

CJ elephant Fugitive.
this is pretty rare to pop up for sale
I’ve been watching that for a while. It’s actually an NTSC version, not PAL. label is to beat for me, though the seller sent me an offer and I declined it.

My favorite part was where he was telling us we don’t know how much our games are worth lol

I usually order from video game box protectors but I don’t think he does consoles. Could be wrong though. Retro Protection definitely has more options.

If I had no one that shared the interest but had family who would likely have to sell my shit, I’d probably just take the time to document how to come up with a valuation per game or just what I think the current value of the stuff is and have them add a couple points per year since it was created or update it regularly. What we know isn’t really rocket science no matter how smart we think we are. I’d leave a contact for them on here with my username and password so they can seek advice. I’d let them know they aren’t going to get 100% of value no matter how they shake it out and should sell in one go if possible for 50-60% of retail value. I’d did the same thing with our finances and printed it out for my wife just in case the worst happens to me. Take the time to write stuff down and share it!
My contact for them would be @MrWunderful cause he is a cool dude and bang bang niner fan for life. @Reed Rothchild is too busy making lists lmao. @skinnygrinny would be a close second cause he is the only person in Florida I’d trust hahaha
I got you bro

Legend @a3quit4s @MrWunderful
NFL fans: "I don't know if I want him..."
The fuck you don't. Dude wins and wins and wins. Takes garbage and turns it into wins.
I liked the W’s, but I prefer the stoic Shanahan style to the rah-rah cheerleading.

Lemme get a Ristar for a decent price!
Absolutely! Shoot me a Pm with a rough price. I have a good idea what they are worth raw but I will give you the niner gang price
15 hours ago, RegularGuyGamer said:What do yous think -- should the case go as a set?
I thought about it, but the factory cases dont have any cool sega marks (or Ristar labeling). They appear to be standard uline style boxes so im not really putting a premium on them outside of proof of condition.
15 hours ago, nrslam said:Wow! Don't think I've ever seen that pocket arcade before. Any story how he came by these?
We live within about 20 miles of where Sega of America was head quartered during that time (multiple other game companies too). Buddies FIL was a truck driver, so I assume they fell off somehow
6 hours ago, final fight cd said:Very cool! What’s the condition? I see sitting in garage, and I think poor temperature/humidity control.
did the person own a game store or something?
Slight dust, but otherwise mint. Its a pacific coastal town, but very mild weather year round. The sonic cd were worst, because of fragility but still pretty good overall.
4 hours ago, jonebone said:Very nice, is that Dr. Robotnik in the middle? I could use one.
As someone who collects Genesis though, the demand really fell out of Sega a ton since the pandemic peak. Still plenty of good ones there though.
Shoot me a PM with what range you are in and Ill let you have your pick.
Yea its pretty crazy, I just wish Genesis wasnt down like @jonebone said. Might get a few of the Ristars graded and sit on them. I have local contacts that collect graded I might trade for higher end items or store credit. If sega has a good resurgence with the remakes they are doing, ill catch a little wave hopefully.
I only spent what I was willing to lose on this investment and am padding out my collection so either way Im happy!
If anyone else is interested in anything, reach out and ill work a deal. Open to high end trades too!

Like you can lie in writing and its okay? Ill say “if you give me 100$ mil ill pay you back in 30 secs” and sign a contract, then i just dont and say “well it was on you to verify I could pay this back” boom just made 100 million?
