Maybe the one who sell him those games told him that those "RPGs"  are worth 1000 dollars but he sold those games to that poor stupid guy for 500 hundred and maybe he thought "why not, I will sell them for the 1000 he told me"

One thing I absolutely HATE on Ebay are video game listings that use a stock photo and no description.

That's just an example of a listing I came across for a game I've been looking for recently.  Luckily there are dozens of other listings with photos and descriptions, but I mean how lazy can a seller get when listing.

It kind of bothers me when I sell an item on ebay and the buyer doesn't pay for a long time. and I have to escalate the case to get them to pay. Why buy something if you don't have money for it? I don't go to stores and tell them I'll pay them Tuesday for a hamburger today.

I love that quote

That's what the vast majority of folks in the US should ask themselves, seeing as credit card debt in this country is absolutely insane.


Anyway, so it's "new", but we felt the need to crack it open and "test" it anyway. Why?  Why do these sellers list used shit as new?  And they always have some BS reason for it basically being NOT new.

For him is "new" he is the only one who played it, he doesn't count

[Arseen]

I would accept the definition as new if it truly is only opened for testing that it works, as this lessens the likelyhood of people claiming non-working machine or swapping or switching the innards. New and unopened are different definitions.

And I would take photo of the orientation of the screws as not many would think to check that before opening .

Don't know what you are talking about, Mortal Kombat II is one of my favorite RPG's of all time!

None of the games is RPG actually...

What?

What?

Let's say someone has broken console.

They buy one from you, he/she then opens the console up switches the innards and then closes it.
What one usually doesn't pay attention is the orientation of the screwheads.

By having a photo of the screwheads you can quite easily tell if the console has been opened or not, as if you don't pay attention to it the heads will end up in different position.

Yep I know, that's why I put "RPG " with rabbit ears when I called that guy also stupid

If it was brand new, then it had seals at each end of the box, so you'd know if it had been open.

Plus, eBay wouldn't give a shit about how you paid attention to screw alignment.  Convincing them that the customer broke the seals would be hard enough
