Warning: Listings from thecommodoreuser

It seems that several of the games that are being sold as sealed are not so factory sealed:

Pretty sure he's just using the word 'sealed' to get more hits. You'd have to be an idiot to think otherwise.

Notice "item condition" is blank. Shady seller and misrepresenation of items for sale.

I have an E.T. and a Human Cannonball (and a couple others, actually), that are indeed factory sealed exactly like that. No shrinkwrap on those, just the top flap glued shut. I wouldn't be so quick to discount these as not still sealed. The HC one looks strange, like the glue is peeled up a little or something, but it could still be sealed. The others I don't have any doubt about.

[Andre81]

The others I don't have any doubt about.

 

I also have no doubt that they are RE-sealed.

I asked seller a question.

 

Dear thecommodoreuser,

 

So what is exactly "New" about your items? I said items as you have multiple listings marketed the same way. I noticed you left item condition blank on purpose.

His reply:

 

Dear icemanxp300,

 

The item condition was left off unintentionally. These games are all NEW and by that I mean they are unopened and have their original seal. Of course they are not newly created. These were made in the early 1980s. I hope that helps.

I've bought a few things from him and haven't had any problems.

I also have no doubt that they are RE-sealed.

 

And how are you so sure?

Incorrect. All of those games were shipped from the factory without shrinkwrap. Unless you are claiming he re-glued the boxes shut, they are factory sealed, although not in very nice condition overall.

Exactly. Unless Andre81 has some real specific reasoning here, I think he's barking up the wrong tree. I think it's a matter of lack of knowledge about how those games came from the factory, in other words, assuming incorrectly that all games were shrinkwrapped.
