Read this before commenting about grading games: This video was filmed before the video about wata and heritage. Shout-out to Karl jobst for the well done video about wata games and heritage auctions. What do I think? Wata, heritage, and some individuals within each company seem to have a hand in market manipulation and some practices that are unethical and potentially illegal if proven true in some cases. What am I going to do? Take it day by day. The market will not go to zero, but it will likely be affected to some extent. Certain games and items will most likely go through a market correction. There is no clear answer for what to do moving forward, but caution will be used with how to proceed moving forward with grading games. I did recently send a fairly large batch of games to wata before the video was released… so it is what it is as far as that goes. I also have a large batch that I have been waiting to send to VGA and will send those off as soon as possible. That being said, VGA’s printout submission process is ancient and awful. It needs to get better. They are a good grading company otherwise and could come back as the number 1 option if they improve their weaknesses. What will happen to graded games? I think the truly rare sealed games may see a rise in price, while the less rare sealed games may see a steady decline in price. VGA may see a bump as they have no evidence of market manipulation and have been around the longest. Competitors are rising and hopefully a good 3rd option will come to the forefront. I MAY still grade with Wata as I think they do still have a lot of good people within the company and MOST of their grades are honest and accurate to the best of that graders ability. Their submission process is also excellent. That being said, I will take it day by day and make decisions with caution. In general, many sealed games are rare to have in excellent condition and should be valuable. Grading is a good thing if done ethically. Competitors will emerge and I am hopeful for what the future will look like.
You guys got real lucky on this one; with that being said I've always told my kids that good luck is when hard work meets opportunity. You youngens have definitely put the work in.
I believe those MK cartridges are for the innovation mortal kombat control pads you have boxed. They should have all the special moves on it for the turbo control functions.
I'm also a reseller and have a nice size collection as well . I love watching your guys videos because you guys are not scared to spend some money to make it. Alot of people dont have the balls . Just wanted you guys to know I enjoy the videos you all make and upload
Ok so the mortal Kombat 3 cartridge 5 with Liu Kang and Kano brought back so much nostalgia. The cart just goes into the back of a specific gamepad. And basically whichever character is on the cartridge for example the one with Liu Kang and Kano. You could program combos with one button for those specific characters. You can also program one button fatalities. It was kind of like a game shark, before the game shark. I haven't seen one in years. This is such an amazing video.
That Spyro GameCube game very well may be authentic. I got a sealed GameCube game from my best friends childhood collection recently and it had the shrink wrap seal, but all of the sold and listed on eBay were the same. Looks like the same goes for that Spyro game at the moment
Hi chase after the right price and this my first time watching your channel and channel is very entertaining and I’m also a video game hunter and I been collecting video games since the 90’s as a kid who grew up with the original ps1 and your channel rocks and roll and I hope you are doing well today and I hope you have an awesome weekend and I go hunting at retro video game stores and I’m a new subscriber to your channel and i really love your channel and one of my favorite games is Resident Evil and I’m a hardcore fan of resident evil games and the series franchise.❤️💕❤️🥰✌️👍⭐️
I am a big fan of MK, always have been since MK1 in the arcades. Im trying to start my own collection so it was cool seeing some game. I REALLY want to see all whats in that MK specific box!
Thats how all the PS1/Dreamcast stuff I got from this auction was. All mint and virtually unplayed. The main reason I paid up. I did run into some more burned games than expected, but it was mainly the low dollar stuff. Sealed was a Bangai-O, Tomb Raider III BL, Spyro year of the dragon 3d cover BL, Red Dog and some others.
The video game display boxes are probably worth more then if they were the original with disc in it. I purchased Halo 3 at a garage sale and the box ended up being a for display only case. I sold the case for $100 on eBay.
Those N64 boxes are minty fresh that Genesis Model 2 looks brand new I still need the box for that one I have the Model 3 box only but it's water damaged unfortunately
I have sold just game boxes for some decent money. Also sometimes just the instruction books sell also. I sold "The Hunting Starring Polterguy" Game Case only for Sega Genesis for $25, 7 months ago.
Great video guys. I had a neighbor with a big give away pile, and in it was a ps2 slim with a load of games including the grand theft trilogy with 2 of the games sealed. 😍
I don't watch AEW, but I'm still getting the game because I enjoy the old late 90s-era wrestling games, and fight forever is a throwback to those games
So the reason that collector probably had Mortal Kombat versus DC on PS3 as a European copy is that the joker and Kitana’s fatalities in the US version were censored from what is in the European and Asian versions. The ESRB T rating is 13 whereas the equivalent rating for Europe and Asia is 16, so there were a lot of people like me that imported that version of the game since there’s no region lock on the PS3, and the game had no DLC so you didn’t have to worry about creating a foreign PSN account to get additional content to work.
I think the mortal kombat cards go into a special mortal kombat controller. I think to unlock stuff. Seen it in a video before. Awesome games and video 👍
Those MK display cases may actually be worth more than if they were the standard copies with discs. I am not big into MK, but I have all sorts of shop displays and advertising for my favourite franchises such as Metal gear and they are not cheap. I am sure a MK collector would pay up for those, do not list them too cheap :)
I have 2 copies of the spyro game for Gamecube from here in Canada and it also has the shrink wrap. All the others I've seen on ebay had it as well, it appears as that is how it was sealed from the factory so it might be legit on yours.
I can’t believe that you purchased and unboxed 15 grand of video games! You’re gonna be rich in terms of money! Unfortunately for me, I can’t get any more video games as of right now, because my next online semester starts on Monday.
Great haul CATRP boys!! Not properly wrapping and protecting the boxed N64 games was super rough to witness. 🫣 Seller definitely should know to bubble wrap that stuff.
Beware even though that persona Q1 on 3DS is sealed, many copies of that game are no longer playable on 3DS because the cartridges used for that game and a couple of Pokémon games that released in November 2014 seem to be defective and the games will no longer boot.
I can’t remember if it was your video or Phoenix’s video that I made a comment on this about before, but the halo 5 collectors edition was all digital codes for the game & extras. You might want to try the download codes in the silver box to see if they still work. Worst case scenario you can try to pick up a cheap copy of halo five like I did at target to throw in there to help sell the collectors edition. Beware of trying to sell it on Amazon because before that was listed when you looked up halo consoles on Amazon, and I had two or three people buy it then ask for a refund thinking it was a console and not just the collectors edition of a game.
Hey Chase, do you send in guitar hero guitars who’s whammy bars don’t stay perfectly still? I’m not saying broken though, a few of mine slowly fall to the side when you’re using them and I was to afraid to send them in. Just curious on what you’d do, thanks
So chase, I’ve been at a couple garage sales lately and I tried the power of the ask technique… problem is when they go get the games they’re not any good and I feel guilty and feel like I have to make an offer even though I don’t want the games 😫
@@ChaseAfterTheRightPrice yeah sometimes I get lucky at pawn shops and thrift stores but it's here or there. I'll have to up my game to get some of these bigger lots
Still watching, so you may address this, but I'm curious to know this will affect the time you spend sourcing in the coming months? Will you spend less time sourcing or just keep at it?
We have processed through everything so I’ll be sourcing still. I took a couple weeks off of garage saling for an anniversary trip and having my own garage sale. But next weeks garage sale endeavors will be huge hopefully
If y'all ever seen National Lampoons Vegas Vacation when cousin Eddie walks in and Yells out "ITS AH BUST" yep thats whats going on this wata incident id troubling I had a stack as well to send in not now...its a waiting game to see what happens from this point on
@@ChaseAfterTheRightPrice I was shocked especially at that Kirby I think u should show what games u keep for the collection in a possible pt4 of this big haul?
Chase, any change in heart around using WATA and grading games in general after the video drop from Karl this week around their practices? Seems like the bubble won't be bursting as such, but certainly going to be lots of market instability from the fallout
I'm just confused as to how the judge came to the conclusion that A he had to sell the games B the wife got the money and C why it was sold in such a small auction setting. Dont you think she would of wanted as much money possible and put it in a larger auction..... idk the whole thing is just crazy. Not saying its lie at all I do belive it but yeah just crazy

Thank you for posting it here as well
How much for the banjo Kazooie
Do you think this will shift market focus to VGA since WATA really was the newcomer in the grading game?
@@vintiquesokc Wata Founder is a marketing manipulation king
I heard vga is updating there website too soon
You guys got real lucky on this one; with that being said I've always told my kids that good luck is when hard work meets opportunity. You youngens have definitely put the work in.
I love that!!!!
Great advice! Thank you 🙏
I’m gonna have to steal that , that quote is gold.
@@ericblair4921 agreed. People are always claiming success is luck and it is so rare that that is true so I absolutely love this
hey Chase, these are great thanks for bringing me along for the ride.
I believe those MK cartridges are for the innovation mortal kombat control pads you have boxed. They should have all the special moves on it for the turbo control functions.
Oh. My. Gosh. So beautiful! What a great score. Especially for your own collection.
Those Nintendo 64 games are MINTY! Definitely a few we need for our collection, too!
Minty Fresh! If you see anything of big interest to you, reach out to us on Facebook! We could potentially work out a deal!
Thanks for watching!!
Right on there Chase congratulations on the haul brotha 💪🤓👍💯!

Primal Rage for Super nintendo, omg
Once in a lifetime haul! It'd be cool if you all kept track of how well you did on the ones you sold.
We will probably have an update in the future for sure!
ive been waiting allllll week for this!
The Innovation Mortal Kombat cards are used for a controller for move sets for the characters printed on them.
He finally said “I’m after the right price” 🤣🤣 I’ve always heard that in my head during the intros
Gotta please the people. Haha
Waited all week for this 😊
These boxes don't even seem real with the amazing condition they are in. Congratulations on the amazing haul.
Sell cheap ones first and keep all the good ones after you make your money back also sell extra one to have money to grade good ones
I am a big fan of MK, always have been since MK1 in the arcades. Im trying to start my own collection so it was cool seeing some game. I REALLY want to see all whats in that MK specific box!
Great editing Skylar! You make these more interesting
Skylar is the man. We love that guy.
15:05 when the sealed games to used games ratio is just right
Thats how all the PS1/Dreamcast stuff I got from this auction was. All mint and virtually unplayed. The main reason I paid up. I did run into some more burned games than expected, but it was mainly the low dollar stuff. Sealed was a Bangai-O, Tomb Raider III BL, Spyro year of the dragon 3d cover BL, Red Dog and some others.
I cant wait for the grading return its going to be insane
Skylar you can remove the stickers pretty easily with a haidryer in most cases😎 works super good
The video game display boxes are probably worth more then if they were the original with disc in it. I purchased Halo 3 at a garage sale and the box ended up being a for display only case. I sold the case for $100 on eBay.
Loved the Pokémon Stadium and Hey you Pikachu!! Thanks for the awesome content Chase and Skyler!! God bless you guys and your wifeys and kiddos!!!
I almost yelled out when I saw that sealed gameCube geist that was my all time favorite game as a kid hands down
I wasn’t ready for how insane this was. Grabbing popcorn and a comfy chair
Haha. Make sure you get that white cheddar flavor powder!
Concave nips on the PS1 controller NICEEEE! New BOLO for me thanks.
NGL I've been looking for Steel Battalion for years but I'm cheap and dont want to pay thousands for it. Nice haul!
Those N64 boxes are minty fresh that Genesis Model 2 looks brand new I still need the box for that one I have the Model 3 box only but it's water damaged unfortunately
That steel battalion! Awesome. And as for grading, you may as well make some cash money. I haven’t watched Jobst video yet I’ll check it out.
I have sold just game boxes for some decent money. Also sometimes just the instruction books sell also. I sold "The Hunting Starring Polterguy" Game Case only for Sega Genesis for $25, 7 months ago.

Between this video and the hoarder videos this week my tiny goodwill and garage sale finds are feeling pretty insignificant
That F-Zero X would be a collection piece for me
18:30 probably made my day. No.. wait… yeah, DEFINITELY made my day.
I can’t believe that you purchased and unboxed 15 grand of video games! You’re gonna be rich in terms of money! Unfortunately for me, I can’t get any more video games as of right now, because my next online semester starts on Monday.
It’s all good! I know that grind. I payed my way through school! Keep your head up and moving forward!
Show that mk box to Uncagged games ! He literally has a series called buy everything mortal kombat lol
I still love the N64 packages I have mine since 1998. In my opinion the best but also the most fragile ones hahah
Can't wait to see this Epic Haul
Cool Mortal Kombat finds!
My mouth is watering from those N64 games...
Great haul CATRP boys!! Not properly wrapping and protecting the boxed N64 games was super rough to witness. 🫣
Seller definitely should know to bubble wrap that stuff.
The Mortal Kombat Kartridges plug into a special control pad. They allowed you to do special moves with a single button input.
Edit: The ones at 31:15
I cant wait till Tuesday!!!
5% gang
The PS2 Batman big box game is supposed to have a Robin action figure I believe I still have mine from when I bought it off the shelf
How much is grading and how much does it bring up the price?
Yesssss!
Exactly what I thought.
Great score so far... I have that four swords box the sticker sadly has been cut but the game inside is sealed still
Omg Klonoa 2😍😍😍😍
I don't know much about games but exciting for you
The n64 staff is pretty sick.
Beware even though that persona Q1 on 3DS is sealed, many copies of that game are no longer playable on 3DS because the cartridges used for that game and a couple of Pokémon games that released in November 2014 seem to be defective and the games will no longer boot.

Keep the Mortal Kombat cases for if you find any loose Mortal Kombat games. Shame you didn't get any Intellivision games.
Unbelievable find!!!
OMG you guys are swimming in games !
Love your channel. Sad to hear about the Wata/Heritage issues.
did people really believe them prices
Hey Chase, do you send in guitar hero guitars who’s whammy bars don’t stay perfectly still? I’m not saying broken though, a few of mine slowly fall to the side when you’re using them and I was to afraid to send them in. Just curious on what you’d do, thanks
when you said this box feels like it has some games. i automatically thought of games games games
Wow awesome video guys
So it goes without saying that you will be checking that auction out again especially if they give a courtesy call to bidders
lol you guys are great , I just found your channel, where in the world did you get all the gaming stuff from?
crimson skies is a fun game to play if you haven't yet
Some awesome killer finds dude
All awesome
Totally awesomeness seeing those original boxes. Thanks for sharing Brother's 😀 👍 ♥️ 🇺🇸 🇨🇦 💯
Iam ready to work online jobs and doing business by selling them online.
Am I correct.
Mortal kombat cards are designed for and were part of the mortal kombat kontroller programmable pad
So chase, I’ve been at a couple garage sales lately and I tried the power of the ask technique… problem is when they go get the games they’re not any good and I feel guilty and feel like I have to make an offer even though I don’t want the games 😫
There's a MK3 for ps1 variant thats worth over 500 but you skimmed through them and I couldn't see.
If you have MK3 in a jewel case is worth alot
Or did you find any empty cases of gex for the PS1 with the manual
I clicked so fast again, I was halfway through a Retro World Episode, lol. Sorry Retro, I'll be back, 😆
Awesome video! Keep up the great work!
That spyro is original seal is had shrink seal factory
Where were these boxes purchased from?
Nice haul.
really nice score
If there's a Sega game for the Sega CD they could be the original DLCs for Mortal Kombat
Oooo South Park in box 🔥
I once found the suffering sealed at a pawn shop for 2 bucks that went for I think like 80 I sold it for.
Nice score!
@@ChaseAfterTheRightPrice yeah sometimes I get lucky at pawn shops and thrift stores but it's here or there. I'll have to up my game to get some of these bigger lots
