It is curious to say the least. Why haven't any of the 12 copies shown up yet? (Unless some of the newly discovered ones these past few years are them)

But as a collector, it's foolish to ignore the possibility that a known whale of a collector may or may not have released 0-12 of one of the most wanted item of the hobby with 6 more in reserve. Stadium Events is officially as dangerous as Magical Chase ever since those 6 or 18 copies surfaced.

Then again I'm not a sealed SE owner. As an owner you have a little more insight on the environment.

I don't think its just a stadium events issue.   To the extent its an issue its an issue for every major title.   But its been well know for many years and to say the least Tim doesn't appear to be motivated to sell.   They are there, but they aren't. ]]> Alright, let's discuss Stadium Events value http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=29&threadid=178433 2017-11-29T18:27:34 -05.00 98ViperGTS 75

You are just being paranoid. 
​Just because there isn't a picture (pre or post sale) or even a hint that any given collector owns one of the 18 case sealed copies of the most hyped game in the history of videogames doesn't mean anything. 

​If someone DOES own one contact me and I can hook you up with one of two potential buyers who have made offers in the mid 5 figure range for a sealed copy.*

​*for a small percentage of the sale of course

 
I think you're misunderstanding my emphasis.   

1) I'm not interested in buying a copy at prevailing rates
2) There was a picture of at least one case out there
3) I could pretty much care less
4) I was simply adding on to your point.    I don't have any reason to doubt Tim when he says he gave some away, but its odd that the info wouldn't get out somehow someway.   People aren't good at keeping secrets.

 
In the end it doesn't matter much at all. If these other copies are kept so secret that no one can see or even hint about the owners then for all purposes reguarding the current marketplace they might as well not exist.

This may have been brought up but I hear that someone out there has a case of sealed SE copies. That being said IMO 10K plus for the cart is aggressive.

If tree falls in the forest and no one hears it does it still make a sound?

​Sealed copies won't affect the maket much if they are not in the market. A fear of them one day coming to market could hamper some price movement but copies that have never been offered for public sale won't help someone looking to buy one. 
 


Its been confirmed, there was a huge thread about it here. 

Some copies were supposedly sold with non disclosure agreements. 

If a buyer wants to buy a copy he can't. 
They aren't in the marketplace. 
 


Show up with enough cash and Im sure someone could get one  

Not true. 
​I've had people call me at the store and make some solid cash offers for mine. If these other single copies do exist there are buyers with serious cash that have been unable to sniff out a trail anywhere. 
 


They either arent looking hard enough, or dont have enough money to make it worthwhile.  Everything is for sale for enough money. 

Or maybe just maybe there aren't as many single sealed copies out of case as have been reported.  ]]> Alright, let's discuss Stadium Events value http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=29&threadid=178433 2017-11-29T16:26:34 -05.00 98ViperGTS 75 Originally posted by: Buyatari

Eh if I owned the headless SE I wouldn't consider 4000 a serious offer. It's also a pet peeve of mine when someone says cash only like it's a doing you a favor... I consider that an inconvenience. The end label is nice so it would display nicely even when damaged. I'd say 6500 or so would be a legitimate offer on it. Though I also agree I would never want to own that regardless of price. Save more money and buy a nicer one, you'll thank yourself later.

By the time I offered that at PRGE he'd had it on eBay for months. I think that's somewhat relevant, as it meant no fees. And I was serious. That's not something I would say for every purchase I make, like a bargaining tactic. Need to make sure I don't come off like a dick... haha.
If a seller requests cash that is an inconvenience. If a buyer offers cash it is not. 
​No chance of a chargeback etc.  ]]>
