This nonsense only proves one thing:

That some folks have more $$ than brains, as the saying goes....

As well as the infamous "Stupid is as stupid does"

I feel bad for the guy who put up $90,000, but lost to the guy who put up a $100 more.

It's a thing. I sold a sealed Zelda 64 collectors edition for $18k 2 years ago - it was WATA graded, though. Real happy my Mom find that in the attic and let me know, lol.

Just like baseball cards, Magic cards, whatever.

Eh, I just find this whole thing completely scammy.

About a decade ago, I put up on Ebay 250 PSX JRPGs (some sealed, some not). Didn't even get a bid of $650, which was my minimum price. But granted, none of them were WATA graded.

People like the assurance of a standardized grade and them being professional encased - especially if they're a somewhat casual collector in the sense that they just want their favorite childhood game to show off.

The whole WATA and all that stuff is another can of worms which I agree. At the time they were the standard and most widely accepted.

I have an original sealed Japanese version of Chrono Trigger, as well as Final Fantasy 6. My two favorite SNES games... the third being Link to the Past. I looked at the used games everywhere I went in Japan and bought a couple copies of Chrono Trigger, FF6, a Chrono Trigger cd sounds track, and a few other BS things. Not 90k, but I think they are legit lol.

You're the reason people want WATA and other authentication/grading.

PRG0, RIP. PRG0 is prone to crashing randomly.

Who am I kidding, this copy is never going to get played, which is why I hate collector's and these "professional" grading scams.

Meh, I feel worse for the people who bought a defective cart and tried to play it. The people paying this much aren't interested in playing the game or making money on a collectable. They're either collectors with more money than sense or museums interested in preserving the history.
