> I had never bid in a Heritage Auction before and admit with shame that I "slowl bid" the price up until I won. I got the game for a steal (in my mind). I won with a hammer price of $2,000. Heritage added 20% for buyer’s premium, $145.95 for tax, and $32.58 for shipping and handling. All in, I spent $2,578.53 dollars ($2775.44 in 2025).

Ouch, another person taken in by WATA/Heritage Auctions - the biggest pieces of scuzzy garbage that have been principally responsible for artificially inflating the price of collecting video games by turning it into a speculative market.

Highly recommend the Jobst expose into this group.
