Post When You Receive A Sealed Game

oh, so it is from ebay???

ah, Jim wants it also....

I will check ebay right now

Excuse my ignorance but is the PAL Kirby 8in1 very rare? How you get it so cheap when people say this is worth thousands?

SoulEdge PSX/Japanese

Not nearly as hard to get as the US/PAL version, but I've been looking for this for a while.

hmm if you dont mind me asking,how much did you pay for that imp?

i got mine for around $60 but i can get 1 now for $10-$15

I paid $55 for it a few months ago, but it took a while to arrive.

I stumbled across it, actually, and though that it was cheap enough that I'd be happy paying that price.

oh i know who you got this from,i got it from the same guy :)actually hes a very good friend of mine.
ive bought some stuff from him and he always shipped on time ,dunno why yours took so long?

Probably because I live in Australia :-(

One aspect of living in Australia that's not so great is the heavy-handed censors that particularly like banning controversial games. Whenever a game gets banned, people go and import a US version, and so Customs make a point of inspecting far more video game packages than they usually bother with, to seize the banned games. As a result, all video game imports are caught in the crossfire, and take weeks longer than usual to arrive, because they're stuck in an inspection backlog.

man that is so stupid of them.i mean its just games.
next you should ask the sellers to put "killer nukes inside" then they wont inspect it

Got games from dvd-movie-galaxy.. They are pretty dirty and all smoked through. Smell as shit. The seal on YS3 is pretty worn... i am not very happy.

how long did it take for them to arrive? i still haven't received mine & have escalated the disputes about a week ago.

He's an asshole and his phone number that ebay gave for him no longer works. Still has time to bid on games to resell though!

Well.. A month.
After about 2 weeks he told me that games were stuck at the customs:

HI! ,
I JUST WANTED LET YOU KNOW YOUR PACKAGE FOR SOME ODD REASON GOT HELD
UP IN U.S CUSTOMS, WE RECEIVED A LETTER & HAD TO GO DOWN TO THE CUSTOMS
OFFICE & SIGN A FORM FOR THEM TO RELEASE YOUR PACKAGE, HERES THE USPS
CUSTOMS # XXXXXXXXXXXX ,FORM # INCASE IT ALSO GETS HELD AT YOUR COUNTRIES
CUSTOMS , WE APOLOGIZE FOR THE DELAY IN YOU RECEIVING YOUR PACKAGE, WE
MARKED YOUR PACKAGE AS A GIFT & MARKED THE VALUE @ $10.00 TO SAVE YOU ON
CUSTOMS FEE'S, WE THINK THATS THE REASON THE HELD IT!

anyway, i won one of the two disputes today. he did not react at all, so paypal had to refund me. therefore - no gb "last action hero" and no nes "die hard" for me. but after reading all those comments about how his games smell like an ashtray, i now think its probably even better this way.

the seller response deadline for the second dispute (nes "mad max") expires in two or three days. ignore mode seems to be his strategy in this case as well..

a really great guy overall.

His games indeed smell like a total shit. Horrible. I cannot even understand why. Maybe he stores them in tobacco factory? cause even the the shipping box and all the wrapping smell like crap.

Told ya! It takes weeks to get the smell out...you need to air it out. I used a dust cloth on my games (they have a pine scent) and that really helped too. It's disgusting though. Imagine spending his $2k asking price on Popeye to get a mini-cigarette factory.

Yes, i would think more then twice to bid high on his games from now on.

That would be most un-kool.

some recent stuff of mine

Just came yesterday:



Thanks panda for helping me get this!

from tradera i guess, where they are cheap?

wow looks fantastic!

Yup, from Tradera. I don't know about "cheap" but I think it was a good price. Condition-wise it's a 9.5/10. Flawless except for a minor crease on the UPC on back.
