    I don't really care if game I want to play is sealed or not. I just open the seal when I want to play the game. I'm probably never going to resell my stuff anyway. 😅

    It depends. If it is a game I want to play, I will for sure buy a sealed copy and keep it that way as a collectible, then buy another one to play. If it is just a game I don't have, like a childhood memory (like me and my father played a lot), then I will open it because I think it is cool to be the one to open it after all this time.

      @ something about finding one of my favorite games sealed, hits all those spots of my nostalgic pleasure😂 also I’m curious, why does Japan always have such a wide selection of games? Did they over produce them? Is retro gaming not as big in Japan? I wouldn’t think that’s it… or is it because the average Japanese person don’t always have the extra money to blow on game? I’m genuinely curious and also jealous

      @@SlimAdventures Many reasons really, 99% of Japanese people never cared for retro games or just sold them to stores to buy new ones and save space. It wasn't until recently that people figured out that they can be sold for a lot more overseas so local people started reselling online and driving the price up.
      There's also generally a lot more of it compared to what we got, most RPG's were extremely popular so they're not as rare as they printed a ton of them. They're also all in Japanese and nobody outside of Japan can read them so they're worth less money and were just easier to buy/trade here. Also a lot of these are more common than you'd think, the rare stuff was always super expensive, it's just more expensive now lol

If say nintendo releases a game of 1000 units and they sell 990 of them and everyone opens them and plays the game there will only be 10 games unopened and uncontaminated with sticky fingers and smoke and germs etc really nasty things so the 10 sealed copies become very sought after not just because of what I mentioned but there is now only 10 of them worldwide sealed and unopened, so they are now an extremely rare commodity and everytime one gets bought and opened the remaining games get rarer and rarer, now years ago when everyone just played games there was not many collectors out there so they were cheap giveaways for gamers and shops but as time went on people realised these games were getting rarer and rarer to find not just complete and boxed but sealed too, you see unscruppulous dealers out there were resealing the games and fobbing the buyers off with brand new games or fake games and there was no refrence to how the games should look unopened and the inside of the games. So documentation is everything to stop scammers and flippers from selling dodgy games. 😊 Hence why I am documenting every wii & Wii U game sealed and open from around the world so people who collect in the future won't be put off collecting and playing games because they will have a refrence to how the games should look. And most people these days buy games to collect, grading is a whole different ball game because I don't see the difference between an unopened game and a game encased and reportedly saying it's better than sealed because it's sealed and encased haha 😊 so preservation and having an item no one else has touched inside is key and the older the game the harder to find them sealed and you will never know if it is a resealed item or not because the scammers are getting cleverer 😊 but the likes of Wii, ps2 and Xbox 360 should be ok as people are preserving them to stop it from happening on those platforms 😊 looks a great shop, I would have probably got loads of those wii u titles as the import duties are killing us all 😊

    • @odinpops
      @odinpops Місяць тому +1

      The message explains the concept behind the value of sealed video games. It highlights that when limited quantities of games are produced, such as 1,000 units, and most are opened and played, only a few sealed copies remain, which become highly valuable due to their rarity and untouched condition. These remaining sealed copies are coveted not only because they’re in pristine condition but also because they’re less susceptible to contamination, wear, and damage (like from sticky fingers, smoke, or germs). As more sealed copies are bought and opened, their rarity increases, making them more sought after.
      Over time, collectors began recognizing the increasing scarcity of these games, especially sealed ones, and began to preserve and document them. The rise of unscrupulous dealers who reseal games and sell them as new led to the need for better documentation to help distinguish genuine sealed copies from fraudulent ones. This is why the person in the message is meticulously cataloging sealed and open copies of Wii and Wii U games globally, to provide future collectors with a reference for how games should look when unopened.
      The message also touches on the growing market for graded games, though the author doesn’t see much difference between a sealed game and one that’s been graded and encased. The main goal is preservation and ensuring that the game remains untouched by human hands, maintaining its value and authenticity. The difficulty in finding sealed games increases as they age, and scammers have become more adept at resealing games, making documentation even more important. Despite this, the author believes that games from platforms like the Wii, PS2, and Xbox 360 are relatively safe from resealing scams due to the efforts to preserve them.

      @@odinpops We can't bust heads like we used to. But we have our ways. One trick is to tell stories that don't go anywhere. Like the time I caught the ferry to Shelbyville. I needed a new heel for my shoe. So I decided to go to Morganville, which is what they called Shelbyville in those days. So I tied an onion to my belt, which was the style at the time. Now, to take the ferry cost a nickel, and in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on 'em. "Gimme five bees for a quarter," you'd say. Now where were we... oh yeah. The important thing was that I had an onion on my belt, which was the style at the time. They didn't have any white onions, because of the war.

      Bro, you’re spitting absolute FACTS here. Sealed games are the holy grail of gaming collectors, frfr. Like, imagine Nintendo dropping 1k copies of a game, and everyone’s out here ripping them open to play 💀. Now there’s only like 10 left in the wild SEALED, untouched, pure AF 😳✨. No sticky Dorito fingers, no weird smoke vibes, no germs 🤢. Those 10? Straight-up diamonds of the gaming world 💎🎮.
      And every time some wild collector opens one up? BOOM 💥, the rarity skyrockets 📈. That’s why sealed games hit different-it's not just a game; it’s a whole piece of history locked in plastic 🔒. But yo, the scammers are out here hustling hard 🕵‍♂, resealing games and clowning people left and right 🤡. THAT’S why documenting these bad boys is so crucial 🧐. Like, you’re literally saving future collectors from the L’s of fake games 🙌.
      And grading? Bruh, don’t even get me started 💀. "It’s sealed, but also SEALED SEALED 🏆." Like, okay, we get it, it’s double fancy now 😂. But still, the older the game, the more rare sealed copies become, and it’s a flex to even own one 🥶🔥.
      Big W for your Wii and Wii U documentation grind 💯. That’s GOATED behavior for real 🐐. Future gamers gonna thank you for keeping the vibes immaculate 💖. And yeah, import taxes? Straight-up villain arc energy 🤬. Wish we could cop all those gems without the wallet crying 🥲.
