+x=usr(1536) Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 Folks, we all know what it's like when the time comes to sell that Combat, Pac-Man, or Missile Command cartridge: you paid peanuts for it, but want someone to buy it who thinks it's worth the GDP of a small country. And one way to achieve that unwarrantedly-stratospheric price point is to put the game inside one of those plastic security cases Wal-Mart uses to make shoplifting SD cards a less-appealing proposition. But even then, you need something more - something to give that HOLY GRAIL L@@K!!! flavour to your precious game. That's where weputagradeonanything.com comes in. Unlike traditional grading services, we use a transparent pricing model: 20% of the closing bid amount. Naturally, this encourages us to grade each game with the utmost care and attention in order to ensure that you, the seller, receive TOP $$$$$ for your game. All you have to do is to send us your game (be sure to include return postage!), tell us how much you want for it at auction, and we'll handle the rest! We retain the game until the auction has completed and you have received payment. Once we get our cut, you get the game back*, which you can then send on to the happy winner. Just L@@K at our grading for this ultra-rare Atari 2600 Pac-Man cartridge, and the value we provide will speak for itself. Before (approximate value: -$0.73) After (approximate value: $113 Billion): So, friends, reach out to weputagradeonanything.com today. You owe it to yourself, the collecting community, and, most importantly, us. * Returned games generally get 'lost' in the mail. You know what that crazy USPS is like these days! And tracking numbers are a conspiracy - it's how they track your mail and packages, which is why we don't use them. 7 2 21 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhd Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 I have been waiting for someone to establish a competing game grading service! I like the transparent pricing model -- and the distrust of tracking numbers. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+GoldLeader Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 Uh Oh! You know what's gonna happen now don't you? TPR will use your service, then tear up that paper grade! And on video no less! Before anyone can stop him, he'll do it with a gleeful look on his face saying, it doesn't matter he has 6 more at home on his coffee table he's just using as beer coasters. All manner of people will speculate on all aspects and dimensions of what they've just seen on that shocking video. Is it a protest? How will it affect the community? What will collectors think now that the paper is shredded? Tears will be shed and then he will attempt to PLAY Atari Pac-Man, saying that is what the cartridge is actually for. People will say, "Don't do it! You're out of your mind!" But he won't listen. And, like a skier who "french fries" when he should have "pizza'd", he's gonna have a bad time. I wouldn't want that on my shoulders. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mockduck Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 I will only do this if I can also pay you $50 to wrap it in plastic wrap. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+x=usr(1536) Posted February 8, 2022 Author Share Posted February 8, 2022 For $50, I'll wrap both the cartridge box and the outer plastic one! In fact, I'll wrap it in the full 300yds. of Saran Wrap that comes in the package. Note: cartridge may be wrapped to a tree when completed, but GPS coordinates will be provided. 1 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cebus Capucinis Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 I was incredibly skeptical until I saw the "Totally real, I swear" on the sticker. Everyone knows you're not allowed to post things on the internet that say that unless they're true. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikebloke Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 ? Clear pricing details but what if I don't have an auction site to sell my games on? Do you have any partner organisations that can sell my games for me? Draconian Ebay DEMANDS I get paid into a bank card and wait TWO WHOLE DAYS for payment. 20 years of trading DOWN THE DRAIN. IS THERE ANY ALTERNATIVES EBAY IS GOOGLE WHICH IS THE DEVIL. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cebus Capucinis Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 I HAVE THE ANSWER TO ALL THESE QUESTIONS! Are you worried about the legitimacy of your graded items? Is your grading service starting to be criticized? Are you just worried that the 9.8 sticker slapped on your box isn't making your millions like you hoped? Look no further, because I just started the Grading Graders! For eighteen easy payments of $69.69, just send in your graded items and I'll GRADE THE GRADER! You get an EXTRA sticker telling everyone that "this grader is a 9.8 on the grading scale" using my patented algorithmic "grade-a-tron" system. If you're worried your graded items are legit, you can now SEE how legitimate they are on a scale of 1-10. I'd tell you what grade I give WPAGOA but then that'd be giving away the secrets, and you wouldn't want that - you want that shiny number slapped on your OTHER shiny number! Why, just last week a 9.8 Pac Man cart, supplemented with a 9.9 GRADE THE GRADER sticker, was bought on a famous auction website for trienty million dollars - yes, you read that right, it was so valuable, the bids went into NEW NUMBERS that had to be created.* Act now, get that assurance that your grader was a 10/10 grader, and feel better! Slots are filling up fast! GradingGraders.com, WHEN YOUR GRADER JUST ISN'T GRADED ENOUGH! *Disclaimer: winning bidder may have been WPAGOA employees, and no money may have actually changed hands, but we'll never tell. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

classicgamesnut Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 I will be sending in my ultra-rare E.T. cartridge for grading. Not many of these were produced, and condition-wise it's sure to rank a solid "10." It will be arriving at the WPAGOA building via Brinks Armored Transport Service, so please keep an eye out. By the way, is there a "WPAGOA OFFICIAL SEAL OF APPRROVAL" available? If there is, I'll be happy to cover the additional cost, whatever it may be. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keatah Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 I wonder if they could do virtual game grading. Where you do facetime or zoom to interactively let the grader see your stuff. Then you get a report in like an NFT or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
