NEW and interesting SEALED stuff you spotted on ebay post here! (part1)

Yea I decided to take the risk. Rarebucky got a mail from the dude that made him think it was resealed, but I decided I would go for it anyways since this is a rare game and one of my favorites. I'll tell you guys what it's like when it gets here.

to quote Hercule Poirot: "No alibi is still no alibi", or in this case - no seam.

for that kind of money I want two seams and a free cup of coffee

I don't trust anything and anyone Untill i see it with my own eyes.

I hate you

Well I understand that it has no seam, and so does everyone who looked at the auction. I'm not saying that this game was factory sealed, but I KNOW for sure that the games he's sells (with the seams) are genuine. I would not buy any game without the seam myself.

And as far as his prices, he has always said people pay to much for games, and I believe he puts crazy prices just to see if people are crazy enough to pay it. He does have( best offer) , and he knows the value of most of the games he's selling.

He is saying it is factory sealed because he purchased it from capcom on ebay. I don't believe he is being dishonest, but what I am saying is that Capcom themselves resealed it. He won't get $500 or $400 or anywhere near that much, but it doesn't hurt to ask. BTW, Tim is an excellent seller, highly recommended!

You're crazy He basically said it was a reseal, so I would tend to believe him. More difficult for you to risk since you're outside the US, but more power to you

rarebucky.....I didn't know the story behind that game, but yeah even though it's new, it's not a very desirable copy without the seam imo.

I read your email rarebucky but my opinion is that the dude wouldn't know a venthole or a vertical seam if it hit him in the face. McVan's is trusted, and the pics show a vertical seam which I saw as legit.

Anyways 100$ isn't too much risk IMO since my max bid was much higher.

Good luck man, keep us posted when you get it!

will do

Yearh i'm also interested since i was the second highest bidder.

thank you for costing me an extra 50$.

I saved a lot of money for rarebucky. He must be grateful.

who is this "ultimate_video_game_connection" guy? another ebay bargain lurker? or an extremely "dedicated" collector?
check this out, the game was listed 6 (yes, six) minutes before he bought it:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=110288446824

ultimate_video_game_connection( 9895) US $149.95 Sep-10-08 20:04:12 PDT
Starting Price US $149.95 Sep-10-08 19:57:45 PDT

Let me show you a secret technique:
You check this:
http://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback2&userid=ultimate_video_game_connection&&ftab=FeedbackAsBuyer&iid=110288446824 (the guy's feedback)
Then you change the dot com to dot fr:
http://feedback.ebay.fr/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback2&userid=ultimate_video_game_connection&&ftab=FeedbackAsBuyer&iid=110288446824
And you can easily see what he has been buying and/or selling for the past three months
No need to go that far though: ~1000 feedback as a buyer, ~10 000 feedback as a seller = reseller !

there are lots of resellers who must have a team of monkeys searching eBay 24/7 so they can buy games for a little cheaper and then put them in their eBay stores forever at an extremely high price. sfloaknyc/falconpunch!, billsportcardz/dvdgalaxy, mustang2005gt, ultimate_video_connection they all do this.

This guy is stupid. 1000$ for this game? Maybe in 10 years. It can be had easily for 1/2 the price at any time in eBay stores, and even that is too high of a price.

Clearly he is abusing this new 30 day + auto renewing eBay feature. for 35 cents (5 cents until 2009) you can put anything anyprice BIN and it will stay there. He has nothing to lose.

wtf?

Look here:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280239488249

i see, just another greedy motherf#*!?@.

quote from article descr.:
"This is the ONLY sealed SNES New Horizons that I have ever seen on ebay. I am a HUGE video game collector and I hate to part with it, but I must."

aha.
he also doesnt mention the "crease on the left side" referred to in the "three sealed games" auction

asked him:
"dude, I know that buying for reselling is part of buisness ( http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280239488249 ) but you could avoid funny lies like "oh my, I've had this uber ultra rare game since I was a kid and it kills me to sell it, but eh ! need to pay my mother's hospital bills !" "

Don't think he will answer lol
