I could not believe this! Someone actually placed a bid on this! This right here is the perfect example for you new collectors out there trying to build thier game collection. I am sick and F***EN tierd of sellers posting S**T like this trying to take an advantage in any way they can. Remember,anyone can be taken advantage of, especially new collectors so be on your best alert when buying sealed games. Sorry for being so blunt guys but this right here really upsets me.


Just wanted to share this with the NA community.

Definitely a reseal. Thanks for the heads up Roy.

agreed, thanks for the heads-up. However, people, read ebay feedback too! Hers is terrible

This thing sounds like it's going to boil down to one of those "I never said it was new, just sealed in a box" arguments...

Shady way of tricking people. These are the rare instances where eBay's "always side with the buyer" policies can come in handy.

Very tricky. You'd think a person would consider the substantial amount of negative feedback they have before bidding a thousand dollars.

You are correct. He carefully chose his words "sealed in box". Not factory sealed.

Please tell me the hang-tag isn't wrapped underneath the seal as well..if so then I can only smh. Someone has already placed a bid on this game.

Thats a good aspect. Just the picture alone would make me stay far far away. lol

I agree. This is exactly what i mean when i say that certain sellers will change up the wording in their listing/description order to get their advantage point across. 

lol are the pencil shavings inside the seal on the front?

I have a feeling the person who bid on the auction is an alt account. Plus love how the guy will only do economy shipping.

The box is in crap shape too... I'm betting its a shill bidder.

Looks minty and legit.

I've often wondered about sealed games. I'm pretty new to the idea of actually collecting games myself. I mean, there can't be TOO MANY still out there that haven't been opened at all.

So, how do you tell if it's just a really great condition box with a reseal??

I've checked this one out and obviously the box is damaged and seems to have a pencil shaving as noted above, haha... Ummm.... seriously though, what should I be looking for?

I've read people talk about having games "graded"... If said "sealed" game was sent to them, I suppose they would have a pretty easy time determining if it IS in fact a genuine seal, right?

QUESTION: If you happened across a "sealed" game (in the wild, wherever you could get one easisly and cheapily... it's theoretical remember, haha) but you thought it was a re-seal... would you open it? Send it to the grading peeps... What if it's re-sealed but doesn't have the booklet??

Ps. I agree with all the people saying this is a total dick move, and using semantics to skew the truth of the condition of a game is unholy.

The bid is obviously the seller opening up a phantom account to bring attention to his own game. What is more appalling is that the price is $1000 Sealed or not resealed is nowhere near that price. And yes I agree with the others this is a reseal.

Man... That box looks like crap condition too! I wouldn't buy it even if it were legit. I myself have an absolutely mint-flawless boxed Mega Man, with the only thing wrong with it being that I opened it and played the game for a couple days. Sucker even still has the plastic baggy the game comes wrapped in. Literally the only thing missing is the shrink wrap, but I'd never attempt to re-seal it. In fact, I'd be worried about selling it as someone would probably try to re-seal it after buying it off me.

Yeah, "classywoman", what a piece of shit.

.... You mean.... You opened the game 25 years ago and have kept it super awesome, or you recently opened the game and played it? I agree with the desire to NEED to play the game, but there are other ways... If I found ANY legit sealed game, I'm not sure what I would do.... after getting a new set of shorts. Don't feel bad though, the box itself is a tasty gem, no matter it's "worth". I'd love it have it in any condition myself, but I certainly wouldn't drop a cool G on it, haha

I agree that re-sealing it seems ridiculous... I suppose for a retailer (Through the 90's and up to now to some degree), it could help preserve the game, but it should be obvious what's a re-seal and clearly marked. Any one trying to fake a seal should be kicked right in the nards (or lady nards as it were)....

hopefully bidder is a troll with no intentions of paying?

Build a bridge out of her!

the name alone screams scammer. Im not buying from anyone called "trustme99" either

No, I owned the game back in 1988 and played the crap out of that version and later sold it. Then in 1994, I purchased a brand new sealed version (you could still easily buy sealed NES games at retail prices in 1994 where I lived in Dallas). Since I had already played the game to death in 1988, I only needed to play the game again for a couple days to get over the nostalgia feeling I had for it. Once that was done, I just put the game back in its box and left it stored in one of my plastic storage crates ever since. I've even still got mint-flawless boxed versions of Secret of Mana and FF3 in that tote as well.

Stupid new eBay layout... I looked for the place where it used to say "new" or "used" but didn't see it. Even if it was listed as 100% new, and indeed it was, the buyer could say it wasn't and eBay would more than likely side with them.

Exactly what I thought. I looked at the bidder info:

30-Day Summary
Total bids:     1
Items bid on:     1
Bid activity (%) with this seller:     100%
Bid retractions:     0
Bid retractions (6 months):     0

LOL yeah it's an obvious alt.

Whoa, sick! Having it this long still mint is nice, those plastic cases must be worth every penny... I wish I bought every single game ever, if we only knew, haha...
