Factory Sealed Resident Evil 2 - Original Print - Is it Real?

[jonebone]

Nobody does know the exact value, but if you listened to anything I said then you'd realize that many sealed collectors would view this as nothing more than a placeholder. It has the seamed seal and not the Y-fold which causes some people to think it is fake though I told you I'm very confident it is the real deal.

However, when half of your demand thinks it is fake, you really limit the worth of your item. I bet it might even break $150 at open auction but I doubt people would put much more into it than that, realizing they'd upgrade down the road and then sell this duplicate.

Why not get it graded and sell it after you get it back from VGA?

Depending on the rating, some VGA nutfreak will definitely purchase it.

Yeah piss people off even more. I just went looking thru Ebay yesterday and couldn't believe the number of idiots that thing a VGA grade (of 80 in some cases!) is worth thousands of dollars. VGA = the new "haunted."

Tell me about it. I posted that as a joke, but in all reality, I really can't believe why people would even sell items at said prices, and even worse, buyers paying those exagerated prices for said items!

To each their own, that is true, but still.

But on the other hand, I recall The 1 2 P once stated that he had a game that never sold for around $200 (or something like that) and when he graded it, he managed to sell it for $700 or something like that. So it's still something to consider, specially with those VGA fanatics.

That was a Ninja Gaiden 3, and when we called him out in the thread to provide a link he never responded. Many of us had our doubts about his claims and his silence validated those doubts.

Ah, that was it!

Took me a some time to find, but it seems he did list a link, according to this quote:

How the hell did I miss this thread getting bumped Anyway, here you go fellas: link

I'm still shocked that the buyer paid so much. But not bad at all for The 1 2 P!

So yeah, as much as I despise the VGA concept, wingzrow should try "slabbing" his copy of RE2 to see what it's grade is. Even at an 80, it can fetch higher than what he is currently asking for.
