Random bit of lunacy!
Just picked up a few things at my local pawn shop.
I saw a copy of DQ IV *SEALED* (also graded at an 80 -and- in a grading-case)...and asked to look at it...
...Imagine my surprise when I saw the $6,000.00 price-tag O.o
I think it may well be the most expensive game I've touched!
Is this like a fucking "Holy Grail" game or something - or just inflated pricing from/for the grading?!

This. It's often considered the best game in the NES era of the Dragon Quest series. And it's, I think, the most spendy title of the 4. But, like all graded games, people think that a plastic box = gold. Another case of graded game retardation.

Figured...
I know nothing about this grading, really - is an "80" even a great score?
soera:
An 80 is actually an average grade. 70 is probably the lowest acceptable and 95 is the highest I have seen. That price is absurd though. Ive seen sealed copies of DWIV price for half that and not sell.

Hrmm, this could very well be the same game (This is around where you live, right?) http://www.ebay.com/itm/Dragon-Warrior-IV-Nintendo-1992-VGA-Graded-80-NEW-SEALED-LOOK-BUY-IT-NOW-/380521535199?pt=Video_Games_Games&hash=item5898d9d6df
If it is, then they are jacking up the price big time at your store.
