I never noticed they took the feedback number off the already disguised buyer ID.  Makes it harder to find out who won.

People don't even want to buy the one on ebay for 25k. 

they didn't want the NWC for 25K gold for awhile either, then it blew up past that now on running auctions....people don't get it.

So.....now we have three cart only officially sold for 7K+. Is that enough to call it the new price now?

Perhaps one day but I think it will be longer than you think for a CIB SE at 50k. The highest graded sealed copy sold for what 30 or 35k? 

People just need the cart to complete the set.  CIB doesn't seem to be increasing at the same rate as the loose cart is. 

From the guy with 0 feedback?

ehhh. anybody serious about it can make it work, most of the time, zero feedback or no.

What good is feedback in a 25k transaction, really?
I don't care if you have zero or 5,000 feedbacks. We have banned members here who had massive feedback scores both on NA and on eBay before they went south.

I think a lot of people just immediatly write off an auction from a 0 feedback member, even if they'd normally be interested in it.

People on ebay are really stupid.  They will pay way over market prices buying from certain dealers just because they have high feedback.  I remeber seeing it all the time (and to crazy extremes) in MTG auctions when I was big into that stuff 10+ years ago.

I guarentee you if DreamTR put his SE up for those prices it would be gone already.

I don't think feedback matters in that transaction.... it is the lack of board pics. I'm willing to deal with anyone if they provide the pictures I request and return my emails promptly. But if you don't have time to post a board pic on a $25k item, you don't deserve a buyer's time of day either.

If that guy takes a picture of the inside of the box, back of the box, manual, and the circuit board the game would be sold next day.

It's the sellers own laziness that's making people iffy.

My point still stands. If this really was a 50k game SOMEONE would work out those details and flip it. Perhaps flying in to see it and doing a cash deal at the bank. 

Jesus, 50k for CIB? If someone wants Ill get you a sealed copy for that price and just let me keep anything left over.

Serious, no joke.

Thought you guys might like an update for record keeping purposes. I was the one that bought Holy SNES's NTSC and Pal B Stadium Events a few months back, and I just yesterday sold the Pal B copy for $425 (which included the VGA case it came in). So I guess you could say I got my NTSC copy for $7075 when it was all said and done.

That's good for your own accounting purposes, but that's not good data on the actual sale price of the game.

How so? Seems fairly simple to say I bought them both for x, sold one for y, that leaves z, no? Certainly more accurate than using the price of both together at least.

Because they were bought and sold in totally different circumstances: once as part of a package deal and once separately, once to someone who didn't actually desire the thing in question except as an item to flip later and once to someone who actually wanted the thing in question as an end to itself.

Prices in a package deal are different than standalone prices; prices to someone who's flipping are different than prices to someone who's not flipping. You can't subtract apples from oranges.

Again, if you want to say to yourself that you got it for $7075 because you paid X and made back Y, that's fine for your own mental-accounting purposes. But it would be incorrect for someone to say, "Well, the last Stadium Events sold for $7075."

To put it another way, if I were to buy someone's complete NES collection for $30,000, and then sell everything except Stadium Events for $29,000, that doesn't mean that "a Stadium Events just sold for $1000."

The point is to track sales data, it makes perfect sense to track the information of that sale. People can use that data as they see fit.

Fair point, and I don't mean to say exactly that the SE should be valued at $7075, I just thought it would be helpful to have a more complete picture of it.

"Guy bought a Stadium Events plus a PAL cart for $7500, and later sold the PAL cart for $425" is certainly a piece of information worth tracking. "Guy bought a Stadium Events for $7075" is misleading.

Definitely. The more info the better.

How is it misleading?  He told you every bit of information.  That's why he said "so i guess you could say...". He's not hiding anything.

Well, that's the only bit I take issue with -- the "so I guess you could say I..." part. If you're compiling data on Stadium Events prices, you can't just say "he got a Stadium Events for $7075"; it's not an accurate summary of what happened. That's all I'm trying to say.

Zero feedback, no name placer. Not saying it's fake, but I sure wouldn't take that risk.
