    Default 25 thousand? For that? What?

    Can anyone explain how THIS GAME sold for 25k sealed and graded? It's not even rare or special in any way!

    It remains to be seen whether the person who won the auction actually pays up

    You're right, my apologies. Awful lot of these threads lately.

    If the sale is legit, I'm going with stupidity.

    *feedback* has been called out for shill bidding on NintendoAge. I wouldn't trust any of his auctions are real sales.

    Thanks for looking into it! I was gonna say, I have sealed games too (ungraded, I don't believe in it), can I get 25k for an uncommon sealed? lmao. I'm not seriously asking.

    Thanks guys.

    According to his feedback he's made more money in his last 10 auctions than I will make thru out this entire year at my real job. But it is shady how all his auctions that ended for $900 or more are from the same two buyers. I sense a scam at work.

    I'm guessing it's worth closer to $84.95, which is exactly what the seller paid for what I'm assuming is the same game:

    What the other auction was paying for was that stupid vga grading.

    Ugh, I'd just get a used copy in very good but not mint condition, complete, for under 20 bucks.

    You got 25 grand?

    Exhibit A:

    It weighs 3,400 pounds, has a 190 horsepower VTEC four cylinder engine, leather seats, a six disc CD changer, only 48,905 miles. It's in like new condition. It's a 2008 Honda Accord.

    Exhibit B:

    It's a game you can get for twenty bucks with a stupid plastic case with a number on it.

    If you chose Exhibit A, you have plenty of money left over, enough to build a nice video game collection. You can probably get about 10-50 systems (depending on rarity) and up to 1,000 games. Or you can get a killer HDTV and still get a nice collection.

    You could get enough gas to power that Accord for 50,000 miles.

    You could even get an RDI Halcyon, with the money you have left over.

    If you chose Exhibit B, you're out $24,980 as you can sell the game for 20 bucks. That's it. Maybe 30 bucks. Guess what? You're still out $24,970.

    So if you've got 25 grand burning a hole in your wallet for Forgotten Worlds, I'd suggest going to CarMax, getting their finest 2008 Honda Accord, then getting Forgotten Worlds factory sealed for 80 bucks and putting it in the Accord.
    Real collectors drive Hondas, Toyotas, Chevys, Fords, etc... not Rolls Royces.
