Best I can do is $20 and a half eaten burrito that Chumlee didn’t finish. I’m taking all the risk.

This episode was actually some helpful proof to show how WATA grading company was manipulating the market. That copy of Super Mario Bros is graded by WATA. Want to guess who the expert in this episode is? The CEO of WATA. A class action lawsuit has actually been filed against WATA and Heritage Auction company. Heritage Auction will only sell WATA graded games, one of the owners of Heritage Auction is an advisor for WATA, and on multiple occasions WATA and Heritage owners/higher up have bid on their own auctions to drive up price. The CEO of WATA has showed up on multiple episodes of Pawn Stars, given ridiculous estimates on the value of games, and in turn causes the auctions to go higher on Heritage Auction. Market manipulation so they get richer, and us actual game collectors get screwed because everyone and their mother think they old games are worth their weight in gold now.

Pays $750, 000 then catches chumlee playing it in the back room after the deal was through

Grading companies are not supposed to assign worth. They just grade the item. The market determines the worth.

Game Stop: We will give you $1.68 dollars or $3 in store credit.

If the guy wants 1 million for it he should bring it to an auction himself

[cornpop]

kidnappers: we have your wife and will return her for 5 million
Rick: 1200 best I can do

[jasonheavin]

Rick - "I'll give you eight bucks for it".. "I can't do any better than that. I'm taking a risk here"

Friendly reminder that this "expert" runs several auction houses that sells games to each other only to raise the price before it goes out to the public.

The truth came out. The guy talking about the game is the same guy who works for the auction company. He litterally sets the prices and then they buy their own auctions to create demand for future auctions. Oh we sold mario 1 for 1 million so the next guy buys one for like 300k thinking he can flip it. The market already crashed. It resold for like 60k. Carl Jobst has a nice documentary on the auction house.

Gamestop: "Best I can do is $12 store credit"

[Eternaldarkness]

Rick in the 1 on 1 interview: I really want this for the store, I'm willing to pay anything for it..

Also Rick: sorry that's too much 😂

[JebAlert]

"We have graded our own items and determined them to be worth millions"

Ironically, it turned out that this guy's company was a scam.

[LongtowerNyc]

Perfect way of laundering money is through shady appraisals.

My dad and my aunt bought me my new NES when I was 9 and it was awesome. I had a lot of friends in those times so that game system will always be awesome!!

[Biggoboybales]

Guy "appraising" the game, along with a ton of other people, got caught manipulating the video game market illegally. This clip right here helped them do that believe it or not

[jokeassasin]

This episode should've exposed the Wata scam way earlier.

[mario_mene]

Wasn't this "expert" outed as a con man by Karl Jobst? Didn't Jobst prove he has conflicted interests bc he both sells and appraises the same video games?
