Brand New Dragon Slayer Sealed Mint ... What's it worth?

[HailingTheThings]

I used to own a game store and had a professional shrink wrap machine.  It is possible to make it look brand new.

What was it called/what was it like?

It was a local store called GameQuest.  Initially, we carried a ton of Japanese imported and some domestic games for all the consoles, from retro up to the current generation.  We also had a lot of Japanese goodies like Gundam/anime toys, wall scrolls, and memorabilia.  Later on, we carried Japanese anime and movies as well.  It was nice when you walked it.  It felt like you were in Japan for that moment.  :-)

I think that youtube user DoxPhile just won the conversation.

That youtube video was too much! I haven't laughed that hard in months!!

Haha, I know, right? Whoever that DoxPhile user is must be super cool and awesome.   I'm sure he is pleased to hear that peeps are still getting some lulz from it.

You should look into this DoxPhile, might learn a thing or two. :3

This needs to be on the top of the forum where News is

This needs to be sent out to everyone who newly registers!

I don't know. Seems like the type of guy that gets off by drawing pics of dudes with lady parts...

Celophane may require a machine, but anyone can afford a shrink wrapping setup, which consists of a roll similar to saran wrap, a simple heat sealing strip and a heavy duty hair dryer.

Got mine on ebay last month ...complete with map and all at 56,77$us....
600$ ? nah i dont think it worth this much 

I don't know what you're talking about. . Shrink wrap easily adds another $550 or so in value to any thing. For example, a used VHS copy of Pretty Woman is worth about 50 cents to a dollar. . add some shrink wrap to it, and you've now easily got a treasure worth about $550.50 to $551.00.

It's simple science really

The last, new, VHS I opened, was NOS. Someone found a box of a title in a back room, I took one. It was a Key Video release of, "Tomorrow's Child". An OK movie, for what it was/is. Fun opening the shrink-wrap, since across it vertically was a white, "Key Video" stamp of originality. Sad thing is, after I sold most of my VHS, and was moving the remainder, something impacted that specific cassette sleeve, near where the hub was, and damaged it. Oh Well, I was keeping it, anyway. I took that as a sign, since that was the only sleeve damaged.
