horseboy Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 That is strange. He takes pretty good pictures and abcdefg said he actually saw a bunch of the carts. Sounds gross. PICS!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

holygrailvideogames.com Posted August 25, 2010 Author Share Posted August 25, 2010 This thread is useless without pictures. ..Al I made the mistake of opening this on my kitchen table. I turned the box upside down to get the cart and instructions and a bunch of dead bugs went all over my table (I won't be opening packages on my table again). I threw them out and then dumped more dead bugs into the trash bag that were still in the box. I then found additional dead bugs in the instructions. I had planned to have lunch right after I went through my packages but opening up this package took away my appetite. Anyway I think that there are still some dead bugs in the box but most are in the trash. I didn't think about taking pictures. I just wanted them gone.

Are we talking like roaches or something else? These were smaller bugs. I am so used to asking people if their items are from smoke free and pet free homes. I never thought to ask if the items were from bug free homes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeusExMachina Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 Yes. All rare games on eBay are full of bugs. Some of them are live and many are poisonous... ....everyone should avoid bidding on rare videogames at all costs... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atarinut76 Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 I always shake out the bugs and dog hair before I ship But never clean out the cigarette butts after I use the cart as an ash tray Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zwackery Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 I bought his boxed Atari Club release of Gravitar and it arrived carefully packaged (wrapped in plenty of bubble wrap inside of a standard USPS shipping box) and bug-free. The quality of the game box, manual, and label look pretty close to brand new. Perhaps whoever was orchestrating the packing hadn't examined the merchandise beforehand - not sure why your purchase was buggy, just speculating with his injury.

jetset Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 Did you neg him? Pretty pointless posting on a web forum that he's not to be dealt with if you're not going to bother to warn potential ebay customers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty pointless posting on a web forum that he's not to be dealt with if you're not going to bother to warn potential ebay customers. I sent an email to him and I still have not heard back. I always send emails prior to leaving negative or neutral feedback. UPDATE: The seller refunded the purchase.
