Hmmm, well, I guess that's cool. You should test the shit that you sell if you explicitly claim (or by implication) that it's in working condition. It's by implication of course, unless you see a claim that the seller doesn't know if it works or not, buyer beware, etc. Anyway, who says bitching never solved a problem. ;)

I'm glad it all worked out for ya, but I doubt the pictured game would've been all that much better.  There's no stickers on the label, but it's otherwise pretty filthy.

$260 for Deep Blue Fleet (PC-FX).  I hope it's just a mistake with an extra zero at the end.

This f*cker seems to be buying up Diskcounters games and flipping them to the extreme.  $30 sealed sidearms on amazon = $150 sealed sidearms on:

Well, guess that's the end of it being a secret. Probably some f*cking lurker on here. God damn it.

yet it's allowed in the turbob community to have fetishes for boxed items, fetishes for sealed stuff, fetishes for pretty much anything turbo.

yeah u make a ton of sense. Except you failed to realize that VGA is designed to make all your fetishes come true. I bet there are many members on this forum that have some VGA graded stuff.

oh, and sorry to burst your bubbles.  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:

While looking for something else, I recently came across what looks like the sealed Ys III I sold, now graded by VGQ for thousands of dollars. This after my description made fun of the fact that mine was something like $1800 less than the only other sealed copy on eBay (which of course was also VGQ). This is another extreme case of resellers buying up everything less than their outrageous prices in an attempt to manipulate the market. The kind of stuff too many nu-members keep saying never really happens.

The next step is counterfeit VGA graded items.

Just do what VGQ does. Grade them and sell them yourself. Toss the game into a sandwhich bag and print off a "Gentle Grader" COA on your inkjet printer.
