GPX | 1,405 Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 Just a fun hypothetical.. Suppose you wanted to sell/hype/price-pump your rarest and most expensive game that you have. You decide to bring it to Pawn Stars to get some exposure. The game you have isn’t graded over at WATA, and they’re unlikely to be the best people to evaluate a price for your chosen game. So...who would you prefer for Pawn Stars to come on to “price guess” for your game valuation? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except if fcgamer is the seller, then OptOut needs to make way for someone else to valuate. Can’t trust those 2 if they come together on Pawn Stars.. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamW | 714 Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 To fit in with the Pawn Stars / WATA / HA way of doing business, my best friend who actually owns a 50% share in the game. This will be disclosed in the end credits, in 4pt font that scrolls off the screen in half a second. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing I have that I don’t know the value of is...well I don’t even know who I’d ask. I saw @PapaStu is on here. He’s one of only two names I’ve ever seen actually discussing these things and that was some really old threads. (The other being Dangerboy) Pretty sure it’s a let the auction figure it out sort of thing and the magic number is probably like $20. Never see the damn things but I have no idea who else is collecting this stuff. All I ever hear is crickets. Which is why I need a pure bullshit hype man. Wait? Can I just use WATA guy? edit (a bit less silly): If I was picking someone active here I’d probably go with someone like @TDIRunner. He seems to have that same PlayStation sickness I had for a while . Ive seen his posts/thoughts on PlayStation collecting for a long time now.

The Count | 598 Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 Yeah, I'd bring in a buddy from here at VGS and they could inflate my game so it could be pimped out on TV before heading to the Bay. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the rare Sesame Street ABC/123 cart - see it has BOTH games on it, a rarity for the time, discounting of course those disgusting bootleg carts which had upwards of 100 games in them. I'd value this, cart-only as it is, around 100k. In fact I know a guy who'd jump on that right now. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gulag Joe | 590 Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 I would like Gloves to appraise my cib Perfect Dark. I envision a hot pink pair of gloves with left bros leopard print. You only see the gloves in the scene. And the awesome gloves slap the camera at the end of the appraisal and it cuts to Michael Jordan dunking a basketball. I'm gonna be a millionaire. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThePhleo | 2,267 Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 I’d love to be on the show actually. Share some NES info, and get dunked on by angry game collectors for disappointing their numbers. But, I don’t know if it’s possible since I’m a bit too friendly towards WATA...then again Deniz himself is on the show 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
