    Great video as usual man. You should consider contacting Wata and doing a behind the scenes of them evaluating some games. Maybe find some more sealed (if you can) and walk through them grading them....although it may be a conflict od interest having you there while they do you own games.
    As for Heritage, I'm sure they have consultants that you can speak with that can give you some of their sales history, talk through values, reserves etc.

      @@nintendobelievers6211 I dont believe in sealing games behind plastic to never be opened or used again. I dont agree with an arbitrary rating system that stupidly inflates the games prices just because its sealed in a plastic box. I get really rare items or one of a kinds.
      But its really egregious to me when you grade a game that is popular in demand but there isnt enough copies of. *Cough Pokemon XD Gale of Darkness*
      Ive seen graded copies of Super Mario Galaxy a few years back that was selling for mid-upper hundreds, just because it was in a plastic box, where as without that, it would be worth pennies in comparison.
      This isnt like baseball cards where you can still get full enjoyment from them being graded. Video Games are meant to be played.

      @casualgameplayz I completely understand your reasoning, honestly after seeing Toy Story I open every toy or game it get just in case ( I am saying this genuinely). I see grading in general more as preservation of history, especially with games that have card board cases that at the time most people threw away. Forgeting the fact that it increases the price for the crazy people that will pay top dollar for anything rare, wouldn’t you agree that if you are going to keep something sealed that it would be a good idea to get it graded for preservation alone?

    • @PyraJord
      @PyraJord 3 роки тому

      @@nintendobelievers6211 If something is really rare, then sure, grade it and preserve it. No qualms.
      More common stuff and high demand, low product games is where I take my main issues. Whats the point of grading Super Mario Galaxy? Its a super plentiful game. Cheap as hell, available on one of the most common systems in history.
      There are people who buy loads of copies of rare in demand games, grade em all and hike the prices to ridiculousness. Taking those copies off market for the regular folk.
      My main issue is people doing if for monetary reasons. Most VGA collectors and users ive come across do it for the monetary gain and not preservation as such. There is no reason why these games should be having price hikes in the hundreds. Who is paying for this shite? Like really? I get a price increase, its graded, its protected. But it shouldnt be that high.
      Stuff like Pokemon GB games? Ehh I guess you can grade them for preservation? But there are box scan's plentily available online; manual scans too. Then again I dont know how common a mint in box Pokemon is or how many people have already graded mint-in box Pokemon games.

      @nintendobelievers6211 3 роки тому

      @casualgameplayz I am with you man, I don’t see the point in grading games that aren’t rare. If you look at it from the perspective from those who find sealed games and get them graded they are just participating in a system that has already been set up and with people that hold a high value on games that are graded on a universal grading scale, doesn’t it seem smart if you can increase the value of a game by getting it graded. I know I probably can’t change your mind but I just feel like if you sit in others shoes it could make more sense, why grading is actually pretty cool!

    It’s my opinion but The sad thing is games were never meant to be encapsulated like comic books that are made of easily deteriorated paper quality. Games will have transistor leaks among other issues in the future unlike comic books. Game grading is really a scam and the losers are those that actually pay for the services. Let’s not forget the ones that actually buy the graded games.

    Congrats on the grades, Chase. Just a heads up - the “deep badge” grade sticker is actually that gold / reflective emblem on the side of the game. Not the blue circle with the box grade score. If you opted out of the deep badge for 9.0 scores or higher, the side circle would just be the “9.0” score, and not the gold hologram. I learned this with experience, I actually had no clue for a while myself. But after grading a couple dozen, I figured it out.

    Average sale price for all of them is $9,572. A lot of the items that sold weren't graded as high as what you have. I would say you easily have $10,000 of gross income from these games. Nice!

    I'd send them into Heritage - it's safer and more likely to get a higher price (but you'll have to pay a higher commission) - seems like eBay has lots of scam buyers these days who will open a return and send you back an empty box - why take the risk on such high value items?

    Graded video games are an unproven market and soooooo young. They could go up or down drastically. It's a gamble at this point. I would err on the side of them going up and hold for now chase.
