I have a couple sealed games with poor seals. I'm thinking about removing the seal and getting them graded as NS(no seal). To me that seems more appealing. Thoughts?

Collectors Quest sent me.

CIB or Sealed and as Mint as possible.

Ebay is definitely easier, and cheaper. HA will charge you 15% commission and the process is obviously longer. I would try putting it on the bay and seeing if you get any bites.

What's the grade?

There is some correlation... the CIB prices act as the floor for sealed.

THey do not, however, have much impact on anything but the floor.

Are you saying a CIB could never be worth more than a sealed? No matter the condition?

Yeah, didnt look legit. Also, that member was offering 1500$ for DW3.

They don't come up often, but also aren't heavily desired. GVN/Price Charting says 50-60$ historically, but there a lot of new collectors. I would say 100$-150$ is fair. If it's minty could be more.

It depends how intrusive they are. Most people seem to get them removed, but some like to keep them on. It doesn't affect value that much and is up to the individual.

Thanks for sharing!

This auction item is quite confusing:

Nice work.

Looks legit.

Dangit, I've been looking for a nice sealed one for a while.

So you can open it?

Harvest Moon, I'm into farming.

I also love Dreamcast. It's where I developed a love for fighting games.

Me and my friends had a lot of fun with Powerstone, but we mostly played Mark of the Wolves for a decade. Also, Sports Jam is super fun.

I'd sell all of my Mario games before selling Zelda and it's not even close for me either.  Everyone can have their opinion and that's the beauty of it.  The point being what's the number 2 for Sega?  I can't even think of a #2.  Xbox?  Gears of War?  Don't know.   Mario and Zelda are about as close as a 1 / 2 punch for any console.

Sales can be misleading due to packins and each system sold counts as a sale for that game.  Lately it's been much more neck and neck.  Wind Waker may have beat Sunshine and same could be said with Breath of Wild over Odyssey. 

Vectorman brah!

The people with the capital only care about AAA titles and I don't see that changing anytime soon. Games like Casino Kid 2, Color A Dinosaur, etc. shouldn't be phased because they were only valuable as part of the set, and it seems like there are fewer set collectors around.

I was creating it to hopefully embed it into a post like this, but looks like you got there first. It's probably 100+ items that weren't on his list.

Also, Happy Birthday!

On NA— I traded a minty CIB copy of Earthbound for this Earthbound poster. A lot of people think this trade is crazy but the truth is I can buy another CIB EB any day of the week. This poster...not so much.

And now that poster is worth more than Earthbound CIB.

Wild: Winning Post at a thrift store for 3$

NA: Little Samson cart for $400

eBay: A lot of crazy stuff, but most recently an NES Tetris display for $120

I have a google sheet with about 370 M-series items with photos I've been working on. I still have a lot to put in, but thought it would be helpful.

I can't pick between my children.

I have to go to the post office. Hopefully I make it back alive.
