Yeah, if we did know though, then everyone would have mint-sealed games and they wouldn't be worth as much :-P

Mainly with the H Seam legit NES games are sealed in a way that a part of the seal go all the way across the back of the box (don't know if what i'm saying actually makes sense). If you're in doubt you can still post a picture here in the Help Me section and some Sealed Pros will surely help you!

I'm no expert but that definitely not factory sealed.

Yea thats an obvious scam, she has the condition marked as new. With a reseal so many things could be inside instead of MM1. If she didn't have the negative feedback, I'd say with the random items she is selling, she just thinks its new. but clearly she did some research with a 1000 price tag and should know better. I'm surprised she is even sending items, because with all that negative feedback, its clear that she doesn't care she might as well ship rocks with DOC.


I found two sealed games a month ago in a thrift store. One is from 2000 Pokemon gold the other is Zelda lttp GBA, I also found two sealed 1993-1985 GI JOE vehicles thrifting 2 years ago. I assume both of my finds were gifts made by parents that they forgot to give/misplaced and found years later. I kept the games and got 360 for the GI Joe vehicles.

In 1999-2001 I found a Code Named Viper sealed on a walmart shelf in tallatrashy along with taboo the 6th sense for NES. Still have it too with the walmart stickers on .

So it does happen, but yea in the above case no.

I love it when I receive free pencil shavings with my sealed NES games.

Wouldn't you prefer no manual with your sealed games? It seems much more worthwhile than damn shavings, could've been from the crappy 3/H pencils, tarnishing the sealed games value.

You know, the "pencil shavings" looks a little too uniform. It looks more like part of a sticker. One of the round ones with the pointy edges. Starbusrt I think they call it? It might have been a reseal from years ago, and lived with a "sale" sticker on it for some time.

Of course, it's equally possible that the sticker remnants are stuck to the box under the shrink wrap...

If it's not a scam, then if I was the seller selling a high priced item, I'd at least do my homework. Either way, for it to have a bid.... le sigh.

I hope instead of sitting here being keyboard warriors against fradulent ebay listings that everyone is reporting the item so ebay takes it down in case that is a real bid and someone gets screwed.

FWIW: I bet there's a rad racer cart inside that box XD

I reported it as soon as I looked at it, I hope it gets pulled. I'm really surprised her account hasn't been suspended
