Classic Video Games / Re: Grading older games

« on: August 25, 2022, 02:50:40 pm »

I know some hate grading, but I do it myself.... I keep sealed games in my collection which i like, and i sell others.

I like making money with it, but its not always easy.... you can have sealed games that looks nice, and you make them grade, and you only get , let say 80 of grade ( with VGA ) . When your games get lesser grades, you cant sell them for big prices. So sometimes its not a loss, but its a waste of money that wont get you profit as you expected.

Also, one thing i should mention; I've collected sealed games that had stickers on them... you can use gasoline (lighter fuel) to remove stickers and it works great , but sometimes it leaves a trace on the spot.

Classic Video Games / Re: A big box PC game sealed question

I would say that's normal. I own a handful of non-sealed, complete PC big box games. They all have their original internal packaging and the items inside will move with enough force. It probably varies on packaging and how of much of it is inside the box.

thanks conduit, your insight is valuable

Classic Video Games / A big box PC game sealed question

« on: August 06, 2022, 03:24:17 pm »

Hello yall, I have a simple question.

I invest sometimes in sealed videogames (retro games ) that i grade with a grading company and sell for profit online. I also do it because i collect games i always wanted to have.

If you know that game, i bought frontier elite 2 on the pc, a space game. It is a big box and the game is still sealed and it look original sealing. But i have a question...

The items inside the box feels loose... like if i move the box around, the items inside moves around inside the box.

Was it normal that sometimes PC big box games came out that way ? I feel like wanting to grade this game with a grading company, but like the items inside the box feels loose and moves around whenever i rotate the box...

is it normal ? thank you for helping
