Yeah i know it's sealed, that's why it didn't make sense that sealed items are getting the text "Qualified" under them while this one wasn't. But you're saying that it's just the opposite: qualified is for non-sealed items?
But then again there's more confusion because how can they know that a game isn't only "mint"? Japanese sellers for example usually try the console/game and still list it as brand new, how is VGA gonna know? How can they know that the store also didn't power ut up once back in the day to check that it all works?
Also i think there's a difference between a game that never came sealed (Japanese) and an unsealed game that's still new. If both get the text "Qualified" then a person won't be able to know that the Japanese one wasn't really supposed to be sealed to begin with. This guy may very well pass up on it in hope of finding one that is in the future, wich will obviosuly never happen. I just think it would be smart to have an additional stamp/symbol differentiating between the 2 of them.
