Everyone pays a little in the pot, we all claim ownership, and it sits in someone's house, and everyone has a full retail set. I mean, no one's going to play it, and even if someone does get the itch to pull out the Power Pad, $5 WCTM scratches that. There's no real downside to this. I'll even volunteer to keep it at my place, saving everyone space for one more cart. Of course, I'll forgo my contribution to the pot. I mean, it is taking up space in my abode. Plus, I'll have to get more secure locks and such, so that'll be my contribution. I'll be waiting in the mail for it to arrive. No need to thank me. The knowledge that I'm helping everyone here is thanks enough. ( ) Wasn’t there already some scam where people were doing this a couple of years ago? You buy a piece of the pie and it only got sold if the majority agreed or something. I feel like it was maybe a facebook group was doing it or something and it may have been talked about on Nintendoage right before it shut down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On that pallet we’re 3 cases of Stadium Events. How many games are in a case? 6 or 8? Anyway, he’s publicly said he’s holding onto that third case for his kids inheritance, last I read. We’ll see.

It’s not still a thing?! But, yeah, I agree. I know he’s posted some photos of some of his remaining cases. I don’t think he’s ever post a photo of that 3rd case, and that’s partly why a lot of people get there panties in a wad about. I tend to believe he owns it though. After all the drama he went through when he went public about his finds, I don’t blame him for keeping his last huge hunk of digital gold in a safe, undisclosed location. If he’s smart and has the money for it, it’s in a lock box vault in a bank. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first 12 games were sold with accompanying NDA and he is holding the last case of 6. I know he got quite sick a while back and sold a large chunk of his games but the Stadium Events is not the rarest game in his collection. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phart010 | 1,790 Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 1. Price in illiquid markets is volatile 2. How come nobody mentions purple Megaman 6? 3. Someone make a Stadium Events NFT 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phart010 | 1,790 Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 (edited) You could have 3 people manipulate the market for Stadium Events. Let’s say the market is very illiquid and Stadium Events currently goes for $5000. 3 friends Bimmy, Jimmy and Marian all own a Stadium Events and all want to increase the value of their games. 1. Jimmy buys Bimmy’s SE for $7000 (nobody counter bids because its higher than market price.) 2. Marian buys Jimmy’s SE for $9000. (Again, nobody counter bids because its higher than market price.) 3. Bimmy buys Marian’s SE for $11,000… They can keep doing this endlessly as long as the game lacks liquidity. In the end they are just raising the market price because they are creating sales history. As long as they keep the sales within their little group, they still have their games and their money (minus auction transactions fees). Well actually, if they own the auction website, then they still have ALL their money too… So they keep their games and they keep their money within their little group. Along comes some rich guy that’s an outsider (not part of their group) thinking this is a bull market of collectables. He is actually willing to pay real money (not pretend “show money”) for the games. Now Jimmy, Bimmy and Marian sell their $5000 copies of SE for $30,000 each.

Tanooki | 5,125 Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 Yeah there definitely is nothing in recent years now to cover that kind of heritage, auction sites playing with prices to maximize their money finding rich marks? Shocking! Madness really. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
