Sealed copy of Super Mario Bros. sells for $100,150 (insane game auction price thread)

from now on, If I see "WATA" I just automatically assume the sold price is BS.

eBay sold auctions is the most accurate number but even then, you don't know if that amount actually parted hands with someone because eBay just records the amount it was bid UP TO not necessarily whether it was paid

Looks like the shit may finally be hitting the fan:

Skyrocketing Retro Game Price 'Manipulation' Controversy Goes To Court (https://kotaku.com/wata-games-lawsuit-classic-nintendo-retro-collecting-sc-1848923457)

Not entirely about the money laundering, either; looks like some of the collectors who paid for their grading services didn't even get their games shipped back to them in timely fashion. :shameful:

good!

i was hoping there was going to be a good grader other than VGC that would do something other than just sealed only games but i was suspicious when i talked to them at PRGE once so i held off.

glad i did
