+LS650 Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 Sounds like the seller couldn't be bothered to plug it and test it, so you may well be bidding on a dud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyle Posted January 14, 2017 Author Share Posted January 14, 2017 Looks brand new. I'm with you though he should test it. I've been outbid anyway lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+groundtrooper Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 Wow. Nice. But would be nice if it was tested. Granted I know people who could get it up and running if it is dead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyle Posted January 14, 2017 Author Share Posted January 14, 2017 I seriously doubt it's dead The console still has the plastic on it and Styrofoam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+groundtrooper Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 No doubt it is in great shape. The only thing I question is did the 7800's come with a protecting plastic over the "metal name strip". I know the 5200's did. I have seen them fresh out of the box that way. Granted I guess it could have been peeled off maybe once and then put back in the box. I do own a very early (Purple Text Box) CIB 7800. I was very gently used. was VERY CLEAN and complete when I bought it from a member here in October of last year, I have my eye on this. I would like to have both box variations, but I am not sure if I can justify it just for that reason. I already have 3 7800's. I don't know if I need a fourth that I know I won't play, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+LS650 Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 (edited) I've been burnt more than once by 'as is' untested items on eBay. Sure, it _looks_ like new... Good luck with your bidding. Edited January 14, 2017 by ls650 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+sramirez2008 Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 No doubt it is in great shape.

Granted I guess it could have been peeled off maybe once and then put back in the box. They did come with a protective plastic over the name plate. I picked up a slightly used one (CIB) about this same time last year and the power cord came inside a plastic wrapping within its box. The person that sold that one had tested it, so I took a chance and have been very happy with it. I was fortunate to win the bid (for less than this unit is currently going for) and picked it up myself while I was traveling to Atlanta. This one appears to be close to mint.

Jinks Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 Untested = 85% chance garbage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Yurkie Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Most likely the seller will tape the box shut and slap shipping label on it, or throw it in another box with no packing material at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+save2600 Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 ^ Yup. Still happens all_the_time. Gotta write to people explaining just how to ship things, else you'll end up disappointed more often than not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
