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.

soera:
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.
