I haven't been collecting very long so I've never seen a sealed Dragon Warrior IV actually go on eBay or GG...
I've looked over all the "how to spot a fake seal" guides and such...but I'm just nervous. Everything looks really legit from everything I've read.
The thing that's on my side is that since none have sold on eBay lately, there's no recent price history and through early negotiations, I think I can get it at a reasonable price. (His game pricing knowledge is very limited...and I mean very. He has a Super Nintendo for sale at his place for $60 that's yellow as can be...but he sold me a near-mint copy of Mike Tyson's Punch-Out for $0.50.)
I'm considering offering the guy $200. Then maybe I can post some really good detailed pics on here and we can try to determine if it's real.
I think $200 is a good number for me, personally. If I post a bunch of pics and everyone is unanimous that it's a fake seal...I'll open her up and (hopefully) find a complete Dragon Warrior IV that I can either keep for the collection or resell and get some $ back. If it's a fake, and I open it and it's full of marbles, I can handle losing $200. If it's the real deal......
....then I'd like a price check
