I am in the middle of making a trade on GameTZ with this guy. I sent him my copy of Super Dodgeball, and when he got it, he said there was red paint all over it. He threw a fit and refused to send it back unless I paid for return shipping. I asked him to send me some pictures of the cart to see what was wrong, and these are what he sent me. Please, does anyone see anything on this cart?

It looks like it's stained red to me, especially around the edges.

Really? Wow, I don't see anything on there. I guess I must just be very color blind

Not to sound like I'm joking (because I'm not), but seriously bro -- you may be color blind, as those red stains are very prevalent. You might want to talk to your doctor, as most people who are color blind are one of a few different types (and don't know it). I had to study some of this stuff for web design standards used by the government, and you might have what is called red-green color blindness (protanopia, deuteranopia, protanomaly, or deuteranomaly). At any rate, if you don't see that red, go see your doctor!

I have to disagree guys. I looks to me like the front half is partially sunfadded or something, and the back may have been swapped out. I think the picture makes it worse than it is. It does look somewhat red I agree, but I don't think it is paint or anything.

edit--I just checked both of my copies of this game and both of them have different color backs on them. They are slightly a different color than the front half. Someone else should check there to see if the front and back on there cars matches exactly or not.

Just checked my copies and they also all match. The cart does definitely have a red tint to it, very noticable.

My doctor told me I have red-green color blindness and I don't see anything wrong with the cart at all. Guess we both fall into the minority here man. To me, the cart looks just fine.

Yeah, so after all of the responses I got here, I figured I must be wrong. So I offer to send the guy some money so he can return the game to me. This was right after I read the first post in response to me, so about the 16th. I sent him money via PayPal, and haven't heard from him since... still no game.

That really sucks..., but you can definitely see some sort of red discoloration on the 2nd picture. The nice thing to do is let him return the game and eat the return shipping costs, it's only a few dollars at most anyway. It all depends on how the game was described condition-wise before the auction.

Don't worry about the world coming to an end today. It's already tomorrow in Australia!

I did pay for return shipping, and the game actually arrived yesterday after I posted last. Well it probably arrived before then, but I was at work, and it was here, so... yeah. I can actually see it a LITTLE bit now that I have it and can hold it up to other games. Not that it's so much I would cancel a trade for it.
