The rare times I can be arsed enough to get off my ass and sell something, I usually clean and test all my games I'm going to sell before I list them. I also don't take refunds because I hate buyers on eBay so damn much. I don't trust them...to many horror stories of scumbags doing stupid shit to get their money back...from both here and from my mom since she used to sell on eBay. She sold stuff online for about as long as I've been alive and she's had some real assholes. ]]> "Cleaned and Tested" "Working" "No Refunds" "Rare!!11" http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=5&threadid=159744 2017-06-28T11:14:09 -05.00 GsoFly 39

But as for the topic at hand. I have two stories, both with n64 consoles. One of my friends had bought 28 nintendo 64s for 20 dollars seeing that they were just missing jumper packs. One of them, had spider nests in them, we had opened it to check it, and a metric shitton of little spiders came scurrying out. In the same bundle of 64s, we had one that looked like it sat in dirty water for a week. Everything was corroded and rusted inside and I wished I still had a picture of that because it was horrible. Personally I never got a cart like that, mostly being that I generally just get my carts locally.

Wait. You claim that all games are tested even when they are not? That's not how disclaimers are supposed to work! Eh, I'm sure that isn't what you meant to say.

That said, I do have a copy of Ms. Pac-Man on Atari 5200 that doesn't work. Oh, and I thought I'd point out that excepted and accepted are different things in case you really do have that in your disclaimer (might want to fix that, since the definition is particularly important in a legal claim/disclaim).

thanks for pointing that out, it seems I forgot the "un" in there. Also the expected thing was meant to be accepted. Shows that I really need to do a better job proofreading ]]> "Cleaned and Tested http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=5&threadid=159744 2017-06-28T10:33:33 -05.00 GsoFly 39 Originally posted by: SNESNESCUBE64

No, they are not worthless. Of course if item is damaged then seller is obligated to refund but if "oh crap, I mean to buy the other game", "shoot I forgot, I have sega instead of nintendo" - the disclaimer is for those kind of stories. I had many people telling me, "oh I was expecting it would include other stuff too" while there's nothing extra in the pictures and even stated in description. People are lazy to read, or just carelss when buy things. I decline any of those refunds/returns at all costs. I had someone expecting a manual even tho there was no mention at all and no manuals on pictures. I also had someone accusing me of selling a Zelda on the NES with a bad battery when in fact it was working perfectly, the guy used a third party AC adaptor that was messing up the battery. I use disclaimers since then.

Edit: Damn, sorry for necro...didn't check date before posting...I ended up in this thread via search. ]]> "CLEANED AND TESTED http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=5&threadid=159744 2016-03-23T16:43:54 -05.00 GsoFly 39 Originally posted by: Mega Tank

Just out of curiosity but when they put no refunds sold as/is in the body of their eBay post you can still always get a refund correct?

You can always get a refund no matter what they put in the description. The disclaimers are worthless

eBay favors buyers so much it is not even funny. No, they are not worthless.

Anywho... I wrote the dude and said that I was going to return it and didn't consider this great condition... I also gave him the choice to refund me a portion of the order instead ($15 back on a $35 purchase is what I figured was fair for a 'fair' condition game). He chose to refund me the portion. Game worked though and I was able to clean it up to perhaps 90% condition. ]]> "Cleaned and Tested http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=5&threadid=159744 2016-03-22T14:47:48 -05.00 GsoFly 39
