    The result of investorinos going nuts trying to catch the next wave of anything. This is not much different from the CIB uptick, or the pandemic boom. People see movement and start spending without enough info to make sound decisions... I've always said, there's always more stock out there, and especially in Japan. With that said, I think some Japanese games will be valuable just for how well they present, and how they capture the mood of the games.

    • @GetTheGreg

      In order to search on Yahoo Auctions Japan, you have to use a proxy service like FromJapan, Buyee, ZenMarket, etc. So I'd recommend looking at their different fees and reading some reviews of them and then choosing which to use. I have personally used Buyee and I know many others who are happy with ZenMarket. Just slight differences amongst them!

    A lot of what is going on right now is reminiscent of when graded games in general started hitting Heritage and other auction sites. Some of these purchases will likely end up being great in the next 3-5 years (assuming JP video games is a "thing" that sticks), and some of them, like Secret of Mana and/or FFV, will likely see their values go down as many more get sent in for grading and begin cycling in the market. With these JP auctions only happening once or twice a year, the price corrections and discovery phase is going to be a lot slower than what we experienced with North American games. There is just way less volume in general. Frankly, it's a good time to be selling some of this more common stuff (the stuff that is well known to be common) while the values are high. Interested in consigning with Heritage? Use this link for free appraisals and to start the process (if your games are raw, include pictures when possible): www.ha.com/free-appraisals.s?slug=www&ic=WorthFreeAuctionEvaluation-010113

    Only started collecting for the 360 some.months ago because its a huge library with a lot of reslly great games for cheap. Then fomo hit crazy. I cant wait for this 360 store to close already tbh, then after a few months when peoole stop caring, 98% of 360 games are gonna go back to normal pricing. Honestly.. I hadn't even checked mercari, ebay, etc in the last month+ until today... and tons of games I was eyeing have already dropped $15-20+ than what they were going for in April/May. Cant wait for the bubble to burst back to noone caring about the 360. This happens everytime.

    If I can ask, why sealed and graded? I mean you can’t play your games and you pay 2,3,4x you would for a ungraded version. I’d useally let this fall under the “it’s not my money” category but by supporting this your inflating the market for people who actually play video games

    • @GetTheGreg
      @GetTheGreg День тому

      Premium condition comes with a premium price; I want mint copies so I buy grades that correlate to the condition I want. When I can get them raw in the condition I want, I also do that. But buying them already graded can also save money overall - it's about knowing when you should and shouldn't pay a premium for what you're getting. And those gamers will have to get some emulators or something haha. We are all competing for the same limited supply.

    If I had these games in these conditions or any other game, I would rip them open and play them. If I'm gonna buy a game to just look at, then I might as well just look at pictures online. Video games were supposed to be played. LIBERATE THE PLASTIC! ENJOY THE THINGS YOU OWN! That game you are keeping locked up, someone else could be enjoying. Not just looking at it.
