I wish there was something we could do as a forum to get rid of VGA/VGQ and shit eBay listings like this. It tarnishes everything good about video games when some lowlife does this. $2K? Where the hell does that number even come from? It's not even remotely realistic.
I think both VGA and VGQ suck, but I feel like the level of "suck" for VGQ is magnitudes higher. Like it or hate it, VGA-graded items sell for a ton more than non-VGA items, so (in terms of economics only) they are actually "worth" the prices people list them at. So yeah, VGA sucks, but at least there is a "real" market.
VGQ is like VGA's retarded inbred half-brother.
The guy lists some hucards+manuals as "new." He claims himself an authority on the quality of his own items he's selling! (At least VGA has the intelligence to not sell the items they grade.) His listings are a joke, and he is basically trying to live off the name of VGA. If you look at his completed listings, however, he's a joke of a seller. He rarely ever actually sells anything.
I'll always be puzzled at people that try to sell something for years, and years just to get that one fool to buy it. Why not sell it for less so that you get the money sooner? It's ridiculous and maddening to me.
An item that never sells is worth $0. The guy who has sat on his Bonk 3 manual at ~$300... he could have sold it for $50 years ago, and reinvested that money into more merchandise to sell... turning it into $300 by now.
