Professionally sealed! Using this!

That is kinda funny

By this definition they could put the items in a cardboard box tape it shut and state "Sealed Boxed Un-Opened"

That's funny. Looks like the guy used his foodsaver or something.

Too bad his last name isn't Factory. Might be worth a name change.

Can't imagine that eBay would let this go on if someone raises a stink about it.

Stuff like this is exactly why I don't collect 'sealed' -- of course, this being a very egregious example of overboard, but there's really not a 100% surefire way of proving that a seal on a boxed game, for example, is genuine, in my opinion. If the shrinkwrapper is subtle about it, it may be very difficult to tell the difference between original wrap and re-shrink. Now, sometimes it is incredibly easy, as in this case, and generally it's pretty easy to tell on a boxed game, but I just always have that voice in the back of my head saying that I can't be 100% sure.....

[Ransom]

If it's sealed, how do they know it includes a manual?

Good Point.

And if it's "Sealed" How can they say it's "Guaranteed to work normally"?
I MEAN LOOK AT IT!!

of course that's just me....

[eddhead]

In the description, he says that it was "professionally sealed for a collection", so I guess he's not lieing- just being very disingenuous. I hate to sound naive, but are there people that actually do this? (in regards to "re-sealing" systems/controllers/ac and tv adapters for collection pieces)

In any case, that is DEFINITELY the best deal on a "sealed w/o box" lot I've seen in a long, long time!!
What the hell is wrong with people?

I hear Seal and Heidi are finally going their separate ways. Always thought they made an incredibly strange pair.
