Hehehe indeed, but Jonas asked for Mint copies and since we're no more in 2004 with new bidders around that are going wild sometimes I thought I could give a significant stretch in the price range. Usually the lower end is more indicative of real value.

^ I only thought your Power Blade 2 number was off. Yeah it's rare, but it's not sought after and it's much more likely to be found sealed (since it was a late release) than many titles.

Yeah you have a point here. I was truly wondering how uncommon is a sealed one compared to a CIB.

Yeah, with uncommon late releases (especially unpopular ones) they are very likely to be sealed. That's why Bases Loaded 4 sealed is just barely above a CIB worth, as well as a bunch of Wisdom Tree / Color Dreams stuff. Many of those games were bought with intentions of never being played and thus are quite easy to find sealed.

let me reiterate what bucky is trying to say... this dude is a douchebag... he will make his items look better by intentionally deceiving you with the pictures. he is a real asshole. i bought a big lot of boxes from him before and he screwed me pretty bad. i wouldnt deal with him.

Look, if you don't like the things that I post, don't PM me about it and don't start a war in a thread. Just FOE ME so you don't have to read my posts! That's why Dain put it there! Use it!!!

here is some more detail... he listed that all boxes were in excellent condition. he showed a pic of all of them laid on the floor (fronts), and they looked great. i get them in the mail and the mega man 5 has no top flap (not the inner ones, im talking the main top flap), the tyson was dead mint... if you didnt count the fact that the entire back was ripped in half, and there were multiple ones with the upc cut out on the back. yup, those are definitely excellent condition! i asked for a parial refund, and he gave me shit, but said he would give $10 just cuz he was nice. I told him I wanted more so he refused to give me anything at all and blocked me from bidding on all his auctions. he got a big neg from me. fucking loser. yep, if you have a mega man 5 box and cut off the top flap, thats worth about $10 less... come the fuck on! this guy deserves to rot in hell... not to mention the fact that he did this for charity?!?!?!?!? he didnt do a fucking thing for charity. he did this for charity just like i sell games on here for charity... the charity of my fucking bank account!

Well rarebucky you were indeed right to ask for pictures. While this stuff is more than great by my standards, this could be too much damage for the die hard sealed guys I'm sure. No crushing really, but a few issues:

MUSCLE, looks like seal has torn ever so slightly from the front/back left corner.




And on Bases Loaded 4 / BT DD is the horizontal line goes into a weird shape at the back left. Does that mean it's another tear in the seal?




What you guys think?

any tears in the wrap totally ruin it for me. As far as the seam going to a weird angle, I've seen that before too, not sure what the cause of it is..

That guy must have been a douch'er' bag when he was collecting like a megalomaniac, selling all his shit dishonestly, like it happens with Seth, to maximize his funds for buying more and more each week (And paying a month later). But my guess about his final crash auctions that went for ballpark values is that he was pissed to see his nicer stuff sell for a tier of the high-price, then unregistered his account on eBay to keep them instead of letting them go for cheap. I think some of his sealed games that he's trying to deal with Jonas might be in good condition, without any serious hidden damage. But who knows...

Well I got 5 pictures for each title I'm interested in although I already missed out on some good ones. The MUSCLE still is my #1 priority, you guys don't think that little flaw on the top left ruins it right?

Here's what I got in response, 1. Refers to MUSCLE, 2. Mario is Missing and 3. talks to BT / DD and BL 4

1. The top left corner is coming off a tiny bit, and after further inspection the back left (top and bottom) corners are similar. It's not bad, but there are indeed very small breaks in the seal.

2. There is a very, very tiny depression. It looks worse in the picture, I can assure you. Probably the flash. It is extremely slight.

3. Both seals are indeed intact. They do look funny, but they are full sealed. There are no breakages. The Battletoads/DD has a slight depression on the top flap. Once again, it's not major, but since I can see you're serious about the condition here, I wanted to let you know whatever I could find.

Seems pretty honest to me, I think I'm going through with the deal...

Well despite all of the negativity in this thread, I just got a PM vouch from a very well respected member here who says he has spent over 5k with this seller and was very happy other than slow shipping times. If you guys had problems with him then great, I'm willing to take the risk for the price I paid.

Well considering I paid just over what a CIB would cost for each game, I can even open them up and still be satisfied with my purchase
