Congratulations on the sale guys! Also, congrats to the new owner! For some reason this just seems cooler to me than a sealed SE.

NICE! Congratulations. I'm a little surprised by the offer amounts. I'm not one to know what something like this is worth. But I expected a little closer to 20k. I suppose there has been quite a few whales being sold in the last year. It's been a dynamic time for heavy weight collectors. Rares doen't wow peope like they used to.

I wasn't going to be the first to say it, but exactly this.  For a game that is currently more rare than SE sealed, and with Samson / BB2 being $5k titles, $10-$12k for this seems like an absolute steal.

I don't know if it's a steal, i think people willing to drop that kind of money may take their chances waiting for a nicer copy. Don't get me wrong, it is freaking rare as hell sealed, I just think people buying games like this in many cases are very, very patient for the right one to come along.

Or on the flip side, they buy it as a placeholder until the nicer one comes along   ($12K for a placeholder, LMAO)

I want to address this concept of "its rarer than SE sealed so it must be worth quadjillions".

Since when did sealed rarity become the barometer of desirability for a sealed title?    Its an important one yes but its hardly the only one.     You know what I've seen fewer copies of sealed than F2?   Tagin' Dragon.    I have one, its beat to fuck, its the only one I ever saw.    Does that mean its worth 100K???  Its times like this that we need an "eyeroll" emoticon.

Lets get real.   f2 is worth 1k complete on a good day, 10-15k or whatever this did end up selling for is more than fair esp. given some damage to this copy.  

Lets not forget that Jason's SE cart and manual just sold for 4k.   You could buy 4 or 5 complete f2's for that.   Its just a more expensive title overall and the only reason its even a contest is because phishor is a moron and because there hasn't been an f2 found in a long long time. 

Do you guys honestly think we are even in a position to know which one is rarer as of right now?   There is no chance we even know.    All we know for sure right now is that its 3 copies (plus rumors?) vs 2 copies (plus rumors?).   I'm sorry but that's not a significant enough difference in sealed rarity to overcome the fact that the CIB prices on them are MILES apart.

And if you don't buy that argument, then I've got a Tagin Dragon you can buy.
