    I think this is another case of where they ran out of stock, and bump the price up to where people wont buy it, so they save the couple of cents it costs to relist.

    I hate it when people put BIN prices that are so high that the only choice is to offer them a price. The trick is that you have "nothing to go off of" for the price, so often you have the chance of overpaying. But at least for me, when I see someone pull that stunt, I just completely ignore their listing. I hope that thing never sells.

    What I want to know is what are these people that "grade" videos games basing this shit off of? It's not like there's a definitive guide.

    I wonder how much they pay for that VGA "certification"... anyway, they're nuts when pricing the VGA items... I can't believe people actually buy at that price.

    I'm sure the only ones who are making money out of this nonsense are the VGA.

    what I found funny about this shit of VGA is what happen if the game is bad and does not play, is like if you buy a console that is never opened and you bought it for thousand and it doesn't work. For sure its not worth it to be a collectable it has to work, that its why I dont buy anything that its never test.

    They rate the condition of games and systems, but they're a real load of shit.

    Has anyone ever seen a sealed game with a rating of 100%? I mean, even absolutely flawless looking sealed copies have a maximum of 95-ish or so... at least I've never seen a 100% copy. That alone would piss me off if I was a "VGA-boxed games collector". Why should I pay thousands of $$$ for a game that's been rated 88/100, even if it looks absolutely perfect to me?

    That's like as if I bought a perfect condition, never driven red '67 Ford Mustang convertible that looks absolutely stunning - but someone put it in a gigantic box and wrote 91/100 on it so me and others are always reminded that something about it is shitty. Also what if I just paid $150,000 for it and another owner with a seemingly identical car gets a box with a 92/100 rating? There's probably no real difference, but wouldn't that piss you off so much? :D

    It sounds funny, but isn't that exactly the case with those $500 sealed games in VGA boxes? How would they distinguish between a , 88%, 92% and 93% sealed Mega Man 3? I don't think they have all 3 copies on their desk at the same time to compare and set a standard....


    it's SHIT.

    People have taken sealed games out of a perfectly preserved shipping box and gotten 90-ish grades.
