On a serious note, we could say that sealed games are the Schrodinger’s Cat of retro game collecting… nobody can know if bitrot or loss of magnetic media can have taken place until the game has been opened. Therefore it remains in both a valuable and worthless state until the seal has been broken.Last edited by samanosuke; 02-10-2021, 15:15.

I'll be getting two new Switch games with the cash as well, plus the two obligatory visits to McD's.
Thinking Brilliant Diamond next month and then 3D World for the kid at Christmas (after we're done with BotW, Odyssey, etc...).
I'll definitely play Fusion again, though. Probably immediately after Dread. I should have the GBA Everdrive by then. I've already got a cheap EZ-Flash IV, but feel like giving my GBA some love.

One tactic I've seen on ebay a few times now is buyers retracting bids in the last few seconds. Bad seller with multiple accounts seems to do it to bid up the price. Didn't think ebay allowed it, but some people seem to be able to do it!
