In a sense, yes, as the graded one (as long as it gets a good grade) will be proven to be a certain condition, and more money will have gone into it (to get it graded) therefore the selling price would probably be higher than an ungraded one.

Then again, not a lot of people will spend the ridiculous prices that graded games attempt to go for on eBay (a lot never sell due to being listed for beyond ridiculous prices) so a non-graded one might generate more interest as theres less chance the price will be sky high.

Also, other members have pointed out that VGA isn't fully trustworthy - they will give friends high gradings illegitimately (or, it's speculated that they do) xx

Thanks vhal_x. A bit disappointing that VGA are kinda fictitious as in for their bias especially when they charge so much. Wont do any good for their reputation I suppose.

Who cares about grades?
Just get a box like they use and grade your own games.

Then it wouldnt be genuine grading, would it? thats the whole point of third party grading.

Mine, my interior packaging is perfect, minus one tiny (like 1cm) dent, but no rips/tears or major bashing - and the outside is mint condition too

yes, but yours is X360, from memory there was no reason for damage to the interior packaging because it was holding just the stickerbook & game, so no real weight. However the book and t-shirt were just lose and rattling in the box under that...
