I violated two of my buying rules, but this seems like it could be a great find:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/John-Madden-Football-039-93-Championship-Edition-Sega-Genesis-1992-/162446115365?_trksid=p2047675.l2557&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&nma=true&si=lp8rbXa83zYn9N5orUn9b3Uzb78%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc
I don't like to buy from sellers with a zero rating, nor do I buy unless there are good photos of everything. He describes this as "like new", so at least I know if it's just an empty box, or if it's not complete in the described condition, Ebay will almost certainly refund my money. It's already shipped, so I'll see in a few days.

Seems pretty solid.

I love buying from zero feedback sellers. It's how you get the best deals. Dunno why anyone even cares about feedback anymore. Seller can't give negative, so buyer feedback is all but worthless. Low seller feedback doesn't mean squat, because feabay will just get your money back if they screw up :)

Good points. Maybe he just doesn't realize that this is a $100+ game, or he just wants some quick money. I know I can get a refund if I need to. I just hope there's not a regular "Madden 93" inside instead of the Championship Edition. Since he doesn't appear to be a regular game seller, he may have just used the UPC from the box for the listing and may not even know what the correct cartridge is supposed to look like. Even if the wrong cartridge is inside, I'd still keep it if the correct manual is there (though I'll likely contact him and try to get a partial refund). I'll post an update when I receive it.
