That 9. 8 Mario Bros for 2M is incredibly disingenuous. It warrants mentioning that it was purchased by people involved in the grading company that gave it a 9. 8 and the auction house that sold it, in what many suspect was simply a move to hype up the market and to fool people into believing that people would actually pay that much for a video game, thus increasing the profitability of grading games AND auctioning games since both take a percentage of the estimated value of products they grade.
Have a look at Karl Jobst's video Exposing FRAUD And DECEPTION In The Retro Video Game Market.
The details behind the sale are incredibly suspicious.

I thought you were better than this, Wired. Don't give these auction grifters a platform. The games are absolutely not worth that much. This bubble burst years ago, but they're trying to regain a foothold. Don't let them by believing this nonsense. Grading is a scam.

Wired shouldn't give a platform to such an obvious scam like tech rating for collectables. Collectables are worth whatever fools are willing to pay for them, but the rating system is literally a scam that inflates value artificially.

All of this stuff is a scam and should be avoided. There is well-documented collusion between the grading companies and auction houses. Not to mention it ruins the retro collecting hobby for those who take actual joy in it.

How do they know what is in the box? I just saw a video where some people bought 1st gen Pokemon cards and when they opened the box it had current pokemon cards

I had a GameGear and first generation iPod. Sold tbr Gamegear for 15 and gave the iPod away. I understand they were not factory sealed mind you.

Imagine having to replace 6 double A batteries everytime you finish gaming. The gamegear was brutal on the pocket, and the enviornment.

You think that old technology is worth thousands of dollars? Are you out of your mind? It's not even compatible with anything.
