There are thousands upon thousands of Atari games from the 80s still unopened and sealed. The Video Game Crash happened for a reason.

Corey: Mind if I take a closer look?
Seller: Go Ahead
Corey: *rips the Frogger packaging open*

[Steveman]

As soon as the seller mentioned Atari Raiders of the Lost Ark, it instantly reminded me of James Rolfe The Angry Video Game Nerd.

[tarbosh]

Corey went from "I know nothing about video game valuations" to "There's a bubble in video games so I'm not touching these"

[jessejames]

Gamestop would have appraised these games at $3 dollars cash or $3.42 store credit!

[Grumpycat]

You know I like how Corey does his job sometimes, he know there will be hustling and useless negotiations so he just passes on the item depending on the appraisal

[kunaak]

I use to work in a store, and sometimes products would arrive with shrink wrap broken during shipping. So we had to reseal them. It was literally just a table with a roll of wrap and a hair dryer that we used, and it takes only a few seconds to do, and looks identical to the normal factory wrap. There is way too much scam potential with "unopened" products to ever take that serious.

George Costanza worked his whole life on the skills necessary to get his Frogger across the street, but alas, a box truck driver squashed his dreams.

Seller wants auction house price, Pawn Stars offer crack house price.

[SplinterAce]

Cory: "I didn't play video games growing up, my dad was too cheap"
The seller: "yeah I know I've been watching your show"

[MusicalLyrics]

Corey: Do you mind if I take a look at them?
Seller: Absolutely
Corey: *picks it up anyway*

[kangaroowithredgloves]

" I don't know if they need an expert to come in, it's really based on what someone is willing to pay for it"
The most illogical reasoning i have heard on this show.

[IAmJoeJericho]

As soon as the expert gave a low appraisal amount, I couldn't finish watching the fate of the seller

[storytimewithunclebill]

Have to go with Corey on this one. Dude wasnt going to sell them anyway. If it was graded it would be different. Nice games though. Was fun to watch. Great video

[fabianmastrapa]

I expected Chumlee to do a U turn when he responded "Yea we know an expert, let me go call him".

[davidculp]

“I don’t know why they’d call in an expert. They’re worth what someone is willing to pay”.
Expert comes in to tell them what someone is willing to pay.

[glenclough]

Just checked on eBay, Boxed frogger selling for around $200

[ZackMuffinMan]

Raiders of the Lost Ark is worth $90 in the box max, a sealed Frogger is worth $200 at max, maybe $400 graded.

[nickanderson]

That's the smartest thing iv heard on this show.
Not only is there a videogame bubble, it's been completely fabricated by their 'expert' at wata games

[christocream]

He says he feels like they are in a video game bubble while his "expert" is the guy responsible for it
