Nice to see a decent auction that actually sells the item

For future reference:

I don't think we can argue that this auction was botched. This was a 10 day auction.

Yes it had a pre approved bidders list. But anyone who is serious about this specimen (at the time of auction) had 10 days to know the auction exists and days to be added to the bidders list.

This is the true price of this game at the time of auction. If you're reading this in 2020 then man I bet you're shocked that you didn't pull out a mortgage to buy this at this price.

Now, I can't say it's paid for until I get confirmation from the original owner but I'll edit this when and if he tells me.

How nice is it that the provenance record is so short on this game. Nintendo > Seller > Winner. That's another key selling point in the future.

Wow, that's a good price in a lot of different ways.



True, nice solid realistic price. Legit looking bid history too. Well, given a cib is worth about 20 and a VGA 85 worth about 35, where would you guys peg a VGA 80? 30k?
Thank you for your inquiry. Please find the requested Population Report below:
 
1987, Bandai, NES, Gold Nintendo Seal, Stadium Events, NTSC:
85(1), 80(1), 75(1).

^ what he said.

No discount...not until there's at least twice the population.

Heck, I offered you $25k when I first joined. Back when I actually HAD $25k to spend like that.

No discount? If I follow what you mean I agree but I look at it in the opposite way. Given the price of a cib the price of a sealed really can't be much lower than 30k no matter the condition and the fact an 85 goes for 35 is more a comment on there being little premium for the incremental sealed condition at this price level

Id basically say

CIB in above average condition = 20

75= 25k

80= 30k

85= 35k

Mmm...I dunno.

Your copy I mean yeah I'd discount a little but there's not much to discount really. There's still a mint cart with a mint manual in there.

Shitty CIB is still a CIB. There isn't enough of them to go around.

As expected, though some may argue about the bid history.

I also think that VGA 80 or 85 would have little bearing on price at this point in time.  There aren't enough copies to be selective, if you want it and it pops up, you would bid to win.

Do you think there is a ceiling?  How many people in this hobby have 35k to blow on a collectable? And hypothetically, in open auction with legit bids, what does a VGA 100 go for and what does a VGA a 80 go for?  Would they get similar winning bids?

Right, that's exactly what I mean.... there's little premium for condition above a certain price point because it's already at what is currently the hobby's apparent ceiling

VGA 100 people would find a way to bid more, but percentage wise it would be a small percentage compared to the spread on a more affordable title
