What do you think about this mmm.... DROP in value?
Check out Sean from Reserved Investments cover it @czcams.com/video/c1X_vCKipcc/video.html
Beastie boys "drop" sound is approved! 😂😎
Also two thumbs up to Pat for the Beastie Boys reference. (RIP MCA)
It ties in nicely with the cover art 😂
Maybe the game chasers are pranking you..
Buying a sealed copy of Spider-Man on ATARI for $9k because it's of a popular franchise, is like spending ridiculous amounts on sealed copy of Madden for the SNES because it's popular series and winning coach.
I waited through two commercials just to say this: "GOOD! That game is STUPIDLY common. I've had it complete in box for decades!"
$2700 still sounds like $2650 too much
More like 2699.99 lol
Agreed. Ungraded Spiderman sealed sells for $50-250. Putting the game in a WATA shell does not automatically add an extra zero onto the value.
Something needs to be legitimately rare. There are literally 1000s of this game still sealed floating around out there.
Pat is officially slowly progressing toward becoming Jim Cramer from CNBC's Mad Money.
DON'T BUY DON'T BUY DON'T BUY
Jim Cramer is the man!
Ian looks with disdain at the 1up mushroom. Can't wait to see his looks once Pat gets the hang of the new sound board.
@@PatTheNESpunk THE MARKET'S CRASHING!!
*SELL! SELL! SELL!*
He needs a big sound board 😂
The old phrase “A fool and their money are soon parted” rings true once again.
I saw ebay flooded with auctions the week after, the first video. And I just bought 6 sealed different games for under 25$ each with shipping, no spiderman, but still there are literally thousands sealed of all types of Atari games. And coming from an Atari collector, no one cares about a 9.8 graded spiderman, except resellers trying to manipulate the market.
When I was a kid , they used to sell 2600 games for 2.99 and that was back in 84
Also anything before 2019 is labeled as “rare” on eBay
Grading games is strange to me because your basically grading the box/plastic case the game comes in it would be like grading a sealed box of trading cards instead of the actual cards.
@rob that’s coming up next ! Psa already grading booster packs
I hate the whole grading Industry when it comes to games, should be reserved for Comics
It will exist for anything there's a market for.
Don't forget trading cards, they started the trend.
Clay3613 cards make the most sense for sure since pretty much nothing is lost by slabbing a card. Maybe card games lose their playability but baseball cards and such lose nothing.
We should just do away with grading altogether.
It should be abolished. Grading stuff just ruins hobbies. It's a scam.
lol oh my god that look on Ian's face when you hit that drop button... priceless.
Spiderman, Spiderman.
Takes a dump in a coffee can
Plays some games with a grudge,
gonna sh!t out some anal fudge.
Look out, here comes some shitty games!
That's probably my favorite AVGN episode. Better than that crappy NWC one.
@@PatTheNESpunk The best video you did with James is your combat video.
@@mikevisby8744 well I would hope so they put tens of hours into that episode
I"m still surprised it's going for even that much
I'd buy that for a dollar 🤑
Delta City must be full of Atari 2600 games then, hahaha
The main reason sealed Atari games do not sell for sealed NES prices are that the vast majority of Atari 2600 collectors (like me) have been collecting for over 30 years, meaning we are all at the point where we are chasing the same 1/2 dozen games that are super rare and consider graded games a fad and joke.
I have a dozen sealed copies of Spider-man still sealed. Frankly, I am surprised they are going for $2K+.
Try selling them.
And of course, there are 100 sealed Atari games for every 1 sealed NES game.
Wish collectors in other circles/consoles also considered graded games a fad/joke
@@PatTheNESpunk Absolutely! Atari games were completely overproduced unlike NES games.
@@hypersonic1337 It will happen given enough time. The average person entering the work force considers the Xbox 360 Vintage and was born shortly before the PS2 launched. Are any of them nostalgic for the NES and SNES? Of course not. To them, those are games they can buy in the online store for a free to a few bucks to play.
My father-in-law had a nice collection of model train sets. These were selling for 1000 times what they sell for now just 20 years ago. As people age out of a hobby, prices inevitably go down and any speculative investing when it comes to collectibles is just dumb investing.
1st rule of Acquisition states Once you have their money never give it back.
Not the sellers fault that the buyer didn't understand the 3rd rule which says Never pay more for an acquisition than you have too.
Only thing I hate is I didn't think of it 1st. That's why we have the fools and money are soon parted saying.
The 2600 Jr was sold at retail until 1992.
At that point, it was probably 19.99 on clearance.
Its effecting more than just the 2600 now, we've seen fairchild channel f games go for ten to 20 times or more than what we have paid for in simply a few months. Some of us wonder if some of this is all a con to inflate worth to then resell to someone who thinks its worth more.
As games get older, it's getting more problematic, as "collectors" who like "valuable" things start buying it up and assuming worth. This sealed graded stuff is just a comical joke that is making it worse.
The only benefit will be that when those of us who do collect as gamers sell up, we'll be laughing. I've never treated my collection as an investment, but it may get to a day where its too expensive to continue from non gamers getting too involved.
I thought Pat predicted this happening in a previous cast. 🧐🤔☠️
Seems familiar to me too.
I just didn't think it would happen this quickly, but common sense *usually* prevails in the end.
I remember finding this as a kid in the 80s at my grandparent's house, opening it, and playing it. I remember getting frustrated while playing it. A lot of fun though. Too bad I did not keep it sealed. Lol. In my opinion only idiots invest in video games because they want to make money. Its maybe a 50.00 game at most sealed.
I’ve got a box of over 50 ms Pac-Man seals copies I’ve been slowly selling off.
Games shouldn't stay sealed, that are meant to be played period!
Tell the owner of Action Comics #1 to crack it open and give it a read. The value of an object is worth what the owner thinks it is... until he sells it and then it's up to the buyer.
@@northofnashira2575 Action Comics (and comics in general) has a far more reaching broader appeal to a general audience than 70's/80's/90's video game collecting. Therefore keeping an Action Comics unopened has far more value and meaning than keeping a video game sealed. Also, play the damn games instead of this bizarre hive mind coveting games for collector shelfie crap. It's so bad.
“Seeeeaaaled!”
I can attest to seeing tons of Atari games around '90 from grocery stores. It's some of my earliest gaming memories
The only Atari 2600 game i have nostalga is for Pit Fall. I can't imagine payimg tens of thousands or a hundred thousand for a CIB slabbbed video game.
Pitfall is a game I still play a lot today.
Thank god these guys are talking some sense .... despite this, history will repeat itself. Damn, even thrift shops are pricing on uninformed speculation these days.... great term by the way Pat.
I got unopened Atari 2600 games from a store called Everything's A Dollar in the early '90s. Specifically I remember getting Space Jockey. The same store had Sega CD Lethal Enforcers with Justifier a few years later and I was angry because they were charging $2 at a store called "Everything's A Dollar." The guy at the register pointed out that they changed the name to "Everything's A Dollar+." Even the grocery store has items under $1 so it was strange to set a price floor.
Man, what a hill to die on. I hope you got that Lethal Enforcers!
@@PatTheNESpunk I did. :) Problem was I didn't even have $2 as a broke teen. Came back later and got at least three. Only person I knew with a Sega CD was my out of state nephew so I sent him one. Sold the others over a decade later... and THEN finally found myself a deal on a Sega CD2. :(
I have an F-Zero SNES sealed. Payed like $30 for it years ago.. I know there was a pallet of these somewhere because it’s a really easy find but it’s nostalgic to me so I bought it to display for fun in my game room. I don’t even own a SNES as I use my Wii or WiiU as emulation. Same goes for my sealed Crazy Taxi on GC. Never owned that version as my favorite is the DC and Crazy Taxi 3 on the OG Xbox, but it has a KB Toys price sticker on it and that’s very nostalgic to me. I payed like $20 for it.. I shopped there a lot as a kid though I couldn’t afford much. My most remembered memory from there was when they had Ecco the Dolphin on Genesis you could play right as you walked in. Heck, I even have the RC Crazy Taxi car in box with the KB Toys sticker now that I think about it. Can you tell I like CT 😅.. I have a 60K run on the OG Xbox CT3 on my channel if you wish to check it out 😄.
That game was one big pumpkin bomb. Bought mine for $7.00. that was enough.
Atari was still selling games at software ect and funcoland in 1992 when i was shopping for snes games they had a small rack in the back for atari
Beastie Boys drop!!! Awesome!👻😎
This is when you know a speculative bubble is taking place.
We always knew, but this is the undeniable confirmation.
Shill bids?
Scumbag sellers will try to make unfair profits on anything.
You really have to be an educated buyer when it comes to games like these.
You guys are absolutely right. When I was 9 or 10, I got an Atari 7800 for my birthday and I do remember my mom buying me some games for it for cheap at the Big Lots along with some 2600 games, and yeah I want to say it was 1991 or 1992 roughly.
A couple of years ago I got Pac Man and Astoroids CIB for 20 bucks each, mostly for the fact that they where a couple of the most played games from when I was young. That is about my limit on that sort of thing.
It's easy to find sealed Atari 2600 games because there are warehouses full of cases of them in South American countries where the 2600 and clone systems were still popular well into the late 90s. I've seen Ebay listings from countries like Venezuela showing cases of sealed games, so these games definitely aren't rare at all.
I just wanted to comment it is about time you got the mmm... DRRROP! clip. Love it!
I got this game for my 8th birthday good times and I remember the 50. Cent bins at the local Job-Lot and Odd-Lot stores they sold sealed games In the bins up front they were the first type of dollar stores in the 80s
Is it possible collectors, companies, websites with stock of these games are creating fake auctions and are artificially rising the prices in order to sell their copies or stock at a much higher price then they would normally go for.
I am just wondering how regulated it all is any market or online auction can be manipulated without proper regulation.
How long do you think until NES games are in this same position?
At least a decade before the market drops.
Saw an open case with all six sealed copies NOS sell for $150 in 2012. They are nothing games.
The inflated prices these are going for is jaw dropping dumb.
It plummet so hard , it made Gwen Stacy falling to her dead look like a soft landing......oh, that's not right 😓
Too soon.
10-15 years ago, I didn't buy an unopened spiderman for $20. I specifically remember coming across it at my local junk shop and being surprised that it was that pricey. I had bought sealed copies of Pac-Man, Space Invaders, and Star Raiders for like, $5 each around that same time.
About a decade later, I bought a sealed copy of Faxanadu from the same place for $15, and gave it away as a gift. I felt that was a more fair price.
On the flipside, as a new collector that wants to just collect things I had in my childhood :( I feel like theres a big negative connection sometimes to those that are just bad at researching. Like getting bamboozled on SNES games, its hard to tell as common people not into the hobby or new into it whats a fake cart, repro cart and nostalgia kinda blinds people to making good decisions sometimes
5:05 Beastie Button, I approve. 👍
If it sold for 2760 dollars, that means you could get 46 copies of spider man miles morales on release day for the same price
There are a lot of some titles on Atari 2600 and some are super rare to find sealed...like Superman, Adventure, Telegames titles.
Spider-Man is so popular because it’s the first appearance of Spidey in a video game and the first Marvel video game. While not rare, it’s very popular as you can tell.
I’m guessing a sealed Superman would fetch over $15k.
Spider-Man on the 2600 is NOT popular in 2020. No one has cared about that game since the early 80s. This is wild speculation ONLY by uninformed comics collectors and isn't based upon anything but delusion.
Pat the NES Punk newer game collectors care about the more popular games instead of rare ones. SMB>Stadium Events. Spider-Man >Waterworld. New age of collecting Pat. 👍🏻
I think this really comes down to a viable up-ward chain. Something is usually only worth anything if someone else desires and is willing to pay for said item. If there isn't then the item has reached its peak.
@@crunchyfrog555I respectfully disagree. This is like any collectable. If someone is willing to pay X for an item then great. But it's only worth what the next person is willing to pay. As can be seen in this example.
Same thing is going to happen to most Pokemon cards, they are grossly inflated at the moment
ParallelUniversity even more manipulators and dumb speculators in that market
The production value with the soundbites really tied this video together lmao.
I was thinking of what other common superhero games could have a similar effect. On Price Charting X-Men 2 for the Genesis has gone up for a complete version from around $30 in January to around $70 today. It's current price is by far the highest it has ever been. I'm assuming this is a similar situation. X-Men: Mutant Apocalypse for the SNES is doing the same thing. Complete in box price has never been higher and shot up significantly since January, while the loose cart maintains the same price.
My local shop has Spider-Man for the Atari 2600 in stock for $6.95. Maybe I should buy it to play it to see what all the fuss is about.
During the early 90's my sister had bought a Qubert Atari game and I totally thought if she only kept the box and didn't open it even that would of been something worth lots of money. But then it's just Qubert where there are a lot of them out there. lol
I just got Spiderman for the 2600 unsealed for including shipping and handling 36 bucks , with the box , manuel and game cartridge albeit someones last name Byrnes written in black marker on its top side , ugh. But luckily loosely i can get another cartridge of it for only about ten bucks luckily online.
People don't care about sustainable collectors markets, the people buying these are most likely flippers.
Wata is a scam, change my mind.
This is the comic collector influence. When a movie is coming out for heroes the comics go up huge, spikes, they think their collecting styles and trends will work in video games too and are going to be disappointed
5:03 & 5:44
You sampled "Beastie Boys?" Did you record yourself saying "Ssseeeeealed?"
When can I expect a Staind soundbyte?
If you don't have a *PatMath™ Button,* do you at least have a *Completely Unnecessary Sound Test® of your Completely Unnecessary Sound Board†?*
†PatEnt Pending
There were new in sealed case 2600 games readily available about 10 years ago. There was that mountain warehouse company that was selling new old stock
I'm sure the guy running the shell game would also yell at you if you told people that the shell was up his sleeve...
Swordquest Water World - the only golden ticket in the 2600 era
I saw Atari games for sale at KMart when I went to buy Final Fantasy Tactics when it was released.
if a game drop with 1000´s its better not to sell it, fuck it, let it wait a few more years then.
I think the last 9.8 A++ of Spiderman went for around $800.
Pat needs to trim those lovely locks! lol
Always search ebay for sold prices NOT what it is listed for. I can list an item for anything. Be smarter. A sealed 90 plus grade sold for 2k
There's one on eBay right now for $9,999.99. With FREE SHIPPING! 😂
I honestly dont believe that any sealed game be it atari, or any other high priced game people will make their money back. I dont think vintage games will continue to hold their value. I think even NES games will go down in price as the market shifts for newer consoles to be the Nostalgia console.
lolol the sounds audio bits lol
Pat's sound board usage is getting close to the Podcast/Radio episode of "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia".
Just you wait.
"It's a laser beam. I'm going to pepper that one in...". czcams.com/video/OB3vm9yYhSQ/video.html
Or that episode of Newsradio.
There’s a couple up for 1.5-2k. Then there’s this active one for $13: comics.ha.com/itm/video-games/atari/spider-man-wata-96-a-sealed-2600-parker-brothers-1982-usa/a/122027-11731.s?ic16=ViewItem-Inventory-BuyNowFromOwner-OtherAvailable-081514 It still has 6 days but maybe they’re learning?
is it just me or does ian seem super uninterested? yawning into the mic and giving 1 word answers
He got his point across and he's back to feeling like shit physically again with his neck issues.
@@northofnashira2575 has there been a span of three weeks in his entire life where he wasn't pretending to have some illness or injury?
@@iami3rian394 He was fine up until about a month ago. Last problem I remember was his stomach issue which was finally diagnosed and he seems to be past it or is medicated properly. So that's at least like a year.
Hope you enjoy the first medical issue of your life that people judge you about because they can't have any empathy to see what you are going through. Or has that already happened and you got the little blue pill to help?
I noted the same thing. It's like he is just bored of talking in the podcast lately.
I keep seeing this and it just blows me away I know I'm a cheapskate but I would want to make sure as much as possible that I am getting the best price on something before I drop that kind of money I don't understand the mindset that these people have to be spending money on games like this
That isn't much speculation. That guy probably bought a sealed crate of those damn things for less than $100 and just sold one for $2700? He just made out like a bandit to some stupid collector...unless it was a shill bid and he never got paid...
This is the very definition of market speculation by the buyers.
This is good news. We can get all the games as ROMs
I remember atari and intellvision games still being for sale at toys r us for like 2.99 in 90-91
I learned with comic books
It’s worth what someone will pay you for it
Oh man, I was planning on getting this but now it’s not worth as much
I bought some new old stock Atari games from a As Seen On TV Store in 2008.
The dollar store here in the 90's had Atari 7800 games.
great game, sealed $200 makes sense but a beanie baby used to go for that and the value of any of this is what it is.
The value!
You should use your stream Deck with the CU podcast video Pat like if you want to do a seal sound effect you can.
The soundboard is great!
At most, I would spend 20 bucks on this.
My pappy taught me how to Pat math here in the country of Dipshitlandia
They definitely had Boxed 2600 Atari games at Big Lots until 93/94
Pat...was that one copy a pre-production...that “maybe” had a typo or some other mistake on the box? Maybe...very minute details that are different from the normal volumes of that game?
I have a Spiderman opened cartridge but who cares if you got the box or not. lol
I have like 70 sealed Atari 2600 and ive never even looked for a sealed game. Guess it's time to retire lol
People get sealed games because they think they’ll keep rising in value. Not the same mindset as looking for the rarest loose nes Carts. That said a lot of these people will likely take a bath.
Only speculators bought these things... Good for them in losing money in speculation.
Not many Atari collectors anymore. I am not surprised that prices have dropped drastically.
Atari collectors are not those buying these for thousands.
It's capitalism!!! Just not working the way some expected . . .
Love the channel guys, keep up the great work!
I'm getting burned out on these wata topics, maybe 5 min segment instead of 15? Love you guys, stay healthy!
You could just skip the video. I'll gladly take extended segments of them talking about it.
You're going to be disappointed.
Nice. I hope the bubble bursts. I buy my shit to play, I couldn't give less of a fuck if the market crashes.
I bid the half-eaten McDonald's cheeseburger I left in my fridge last week.
I fuckin popped at 5:00
Drop drop drop watchin' bubbles pop...
