People who emulate are in the right
this WOULD be based if you hadnt given wata/some slabholder money for it in the first place
damn man I can see really wanting to play OOT and being too stupid to know how to open the slab, but how do you not know how to open a cardboard box?
>>12890027was it stolen? where's the og bluesky/resetera post?
>>12890039It's mein...
wata ripoff!
>>12890027>be thief>don't give a shit about the collector's value>just want to play the gamepretty based desu
did a rottweiler chew it up? my dog did that to my zelda: minish cap cartridge back in the day.
>>12890163Your dog was trying to save you from being a faggot who plays gay games
>>12890168i think dogs just do things arbitrarily
>>12890168the dog also probably licked peanut butter off his owner's penis, so the dog might not be the hero of the story that you wish him to be
RETURN THE SLAB, OR SUFFER HIS CURSE
>>12890027Reminds me of this.
>>12890027>>12890248Jesus Krust
>>12890248that shit isn't even worth 300. what a bunch of scammers
>>12890036>open the slabAren't they sealed?
>>12890248based customs
>>12890330>The slab
>>12890027Dumb robber didn't realize that the cardboard was 99.9% of the value
>>12890027This is AIStories of customs opening sealed stuff and ripping it apart have happened before
>>12890248looks empty and fake or the buyer got robbed with a fake.
>>12890027Anybody buying sealed and graded games deserves to be fucked over. Every cartridge or disc deserves to be played at least once,not just mounted on a shelf like a display piece. I got all my retro game cheap when you still find them at pawn shops and yard sales and it just pisses me off seeing this hobby infested by speculators who are just in it for the profit not because they actually want to play the games
>>12890392it's true. just laugh at the collector.https://x.com/dachshundwizard/status/2112666414377263246
>>12890728>hobby infested by speculatorsits all scammers scamming each other to jack up le ebay auction prices.
>>12890728>nooo products must only be consumed my wayI buy games I like to display them on a shelf, then I play them on emulators.
>>12890027>"U mad, gaijin?"
>>12890248>worth $10,500>*to autistic "graded" faggots who don't actually play videogames and only exist to drive up the prices of physical games as means to sell it to other autistic "graded" faggots
>>12890761>why yes, I do buy cars just to turn them into statue display pieces and never actually drive them, u mad?
>>12890854you're aware there is an entire industry dedicated to this, right? you think the people buying three million dollar Bugattis and McLarens are driving them? classic collector cars are all stuffed in a climate-controlled garage and hermetically sealed so they don't lose their value.
>>12890236Isn't this a ripoff of the TV salesman from the Beetlejuice cartoon?
>>12890986He's King Ramses from Courage the Cowardly Dog.
>>12890986Stupid dog, you made me look bad
>>12890027i'm sure this has been brought up 1000 times but how exactly do you prove any of these are authentic? does WATA carbon date the box? with how much these allegedly sell for, there's very high incentive to meticulously craft a very convincing fake. doesn't seem worth the risk vs. just buying a repro.
>>12891060by opening it and seeing if the cart has been used in any way.
>>12890248>burgerskikeHorrible....
>>12890262Id still be pretty mad over $300 desu.
>>12890728I agree, though it is disheartening to think that I had I just purchased a few sealed copies of popular common games 15 years ago, slabbing and reselling those alone would likely have funded several years worth of buying interesting and rare games I actually want to own and play.
>>12891060Most of the art being sold (particularly online) is either forged or misattributed.https://news.artnet.com/market/over-50-percent-of-art-is-fake-130821No reason to think it's different with other collector items, like games or comics or cards
>>12890171You sick fags sure love being disgusting and making up lies huh? Why is it because you did this one time? Wtf is wrong with you Carlos?
>>12890853Anyone playing these games are too poor and are emulating anyhow. They dont directly effect the playerbase
>>12891060Man, that's kinda fucked up. I wonder how accurate those are? Like if you put one next to a mint real one, can you easily spot the difference in colors, print quality, etc.
>>12891060mistakes in the art, colors, printing method and so on>high incentive to meticulously craft a very convincing fakenot really
