Is it just me, or is it harder to sell games on auction sites (ebay, mercurial, etc) lately? I casually sell off games I don't play and get different ones. Lately, even stuff well below the pricecharting estimate sits for quite awhile and doesn't seem to sell.

Maybe that pandemic retrogaming bubble has finally burst. #retrogaming #GameCollecting #ebay

The Old School Game Vault Mar 4

Collectors often assume shrink wrap means a video game is brand new. That is not always true.

Many retro game stores re-wrap opened games before putting them on display.

• H-Seams on Nintendo cartridge boxes such as NES and SNES

These manufacturing details are one of the easiest ways to spot real factory sealed games.
