Why. Just Why.
Evey-time I buy a boxed thing on eBay I always contact the seller to make sure they ship it properly.
What listing was it, I'm curious of the before pics. What is the sellers response to this and how much did you pay?

I paid close to $90CAD shipped, which is an okay deal if it was complete. You can clearly see the box in pictures of the listing(granted it was only seen in the last pic but it WAS there). It had its flaws but it looked like a nice & sturdy looking box. I told her I paid for a CIB NES and asked her why in the hell did she destroy the the poor thing... Here's her answer: "I just added it to the box in case you might want to see the original box it came in, more for the sake of novelty than any added value. I, in good faith, feel I represented the items of the auction truly." ::)

After:
I once recieved broken or bootleg games but in 10 years on Ebay this is the first time something like that happened to me.

I'd ask for a refund, and if she doesn't comply then file a complaint with eBay. The image is clear misdirection.

This a thousands times over. I get that some people don't understand the value of the original box with a vintage game system. But, the fact is that the seller showed and advertised one thing in the listing and sent something else.
