Too bad no one here probably got this gem. It's a promo box for the unreleased copy of Half Life for Dreamcast. I would have loved to have a high resolution scan of this cover:

Update on my earlier story:  Got my refund today for the not as described NES.  The initial message said it might take up to three days to have a refund issued once the package arrived.  Actually took less than three hours for said refund to show up in my paypal account.  I'm really pleased with eBay's process with this issue.

thank you for your help quazimoto and also thank you guys for all your replies they help me out a lot now i know exactly what to do without the fear of loosing my money. I'm gonna try and send it back today or thursday. thanks friends.

The guy had all that stuff on eBay for auction and nobody bid on it. I asked him about and I got it with FREE shipping. He maybe nuts, but I'm definitely happy!  ;D

Does any one else have problems with items never arriving and sellers claiming that they got lost in shipping.

It always happens to me when I get a really good deal.  I think the seller sometimes does not want to let it go for the price.

Wow!  That's pimptacular!  Good job ;)

Do they refund the money without question?  If so, then yeah, they're totally dicking you out of the transaction for one reason or another.

You know, I'm glad I still have a CRT because lightgun games are fun  :D Yea finally I can play Duck Hunt with my new orange Zapper, which actually works almost flawlessly, even on my flattube CRT. I got it to work about 6ft feet back but it sure is a challenge at that distance, at 4ft pretty much 100% accuracy so I'm not complaining.

Other goodies, uh Dreamcast Browser 2.0....yea it was only a dollar so I thought why not. And of course Super Smash Brothers for the N64, haven't played that game in 10+ years. Sucks the label has some kind of goop on it, but guess I could just print a new one, and besides it's a Players Choice so I kind of want to, but for $20, wasn't too bad, considering the jacked up rates SSBs is fetching now days.
