Does anyone know how much it costs to get items graded?
Just wondering since he has quite a few graded items for sale.

in the case of halo2 map pack the grading fee was more 20 times the value of the item.
($25 + plastic case + shipping the thing back and forth).
Just insane for some self-proclaimed authoritive arbitary made-up rating system!

If anything, VGA is more a rating for incompetence and swindle. as VGA actually have been caught time and time again giving ratings/approving fakes and resealed games  :-\

There is one offer on the item.  It was declined.  Wonder what it was.

Love the shipping cost too. And this person is so stuck on themselves if you do any communication with them. Quessing they do this for publicity more than anything.

Stuck on themselves is an understatement.  When he first listed Mage for $1000+, I politely let him know that it was still available from Revival for its original asking price, and that he was mistaken informing people that they would be able to enjoy the +plus graphics on a normal O2 or G7000, or what have you.  In his response, he never addressed the misinformation about the +plus graphics, but did state that he'd most likely buy all the other Mage's available, and re-sell them for the inflated price he thinks they're worth!  ;:)

Mind you, on reflection, it would be great for Revival, if he's buys all the inventory though!  Hope I pushed some business that way  :)

And as for VGA or AFA grading, people only have that done for one reason, and that's to turn a profit!  Nothing more, nothing less, and sorry, but in my opinion, such a small group of people (the graders), in no way, shape, or form, constitute an 'Authority' on what an item is worth...the buyers/collectors of such items do!

Even if I won the Powerball lottery this weekend, I would not drop that kind of money on these.

If you do you could also buy this from him:

:D And they don't even have the VGA stamp of approval! That would at least triple the price. Stupid seller could make a whole lot more.
All your collector items are belong to us!

I tried to find any of those high priced items in his feedback list, but the prices paid (best offer accepted) are quite decent.
He just starts ridiculously high, but it seems to work:

for example:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1976-BRAND-NEW-Odyssey-500-Video-Game-System-VGA-GRADED-85-NM-Videopac-2-/300901917056

It is a lot of money but not that much... And the buyer was really pleased...
