See, now, here is an interesting case.

A VGA rated version of a not so uncommon GBA game for sale, and it is an honest to gods auction. Given the paltry age of the title, and how common it is I doubt the cost of the VGA process will be worth what extra value, if any at all, it will add to the final sale price of that item.

Or is there really a weighty demand for VGA grated games out there? Are there really many a rich person out there seeking to amass a VGA GBA collection? Enough of them to compete for this and bring the price up?

I cannot believe so, but I am going to be watching this one unfold.

Only a syphilitic retard would give a shit about VGA grading.

Do rich people contract syphilis though? I thought they stuck to classy, clean hookers only. Also, just to class it up even more, they call them escorts instead.

Well, I can KIND of understand it if you are talking about a NIB copy of Stadium Events or some game that can fetch $10,000+, but for a fairly common GBA game that came out less than 10 years ago? Seems silly to me. It would just be a pain to crack open that case and throw it away before opening the game and playing it.

Parasite Timmonstalon bought this for $6.28
http://www.ebay.com/itm/360446914657?ssPageName=STRK:MESOX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1562.l2649

And sells it the next week for $29.99

And he has the worst camera in the history of ebay.
And he pasted the wrong description into his listing.  What an idiot.

Of course, I'm the idiot who listed stuff on ebay in the first place.  Sparky was right.

Sucks that they would flip it like that. Hope it doesn't sell for what he wants.
