"fresh opened"

I've been saving the packing materials Amazon ships me & labeling them with the month/year, in a few years I'm gonna be rich selling all this capsulated air from the early 2000's

 

 

Fresh opened, still has that new console smell! I'd paid $800 for that!!

[video game addict]

I'd paid!

 

Yes I would!

"A brand new, boxed, just been opened Atari CX-2600A"

 

Uhhh....

 

When are these idiots gonna learn that "brand new" means never opened, and it only means never opened. As soon as the damn thing's been opened, I have no idea what you've done with it. You can tell me whatever you want, but for all I know you could have been using that thing as a doorstop for the past 25 years and just sprayed it with a coat of armor-all today for this auction. (heh heh)

 

Getting to be a real pet peeve of mine, people with open-box stuff calling it "new". Obviously no understanding of why people look for real new stuff.

 

Kinda like selling a car and saying "it's brand new! I've had it in my garage for 25 years!"

He put a lot of effort into that listing. I think the seller thinks he's getting $760 for his 4-switcher and 12 common games.

I usually look at auctions like that with a air of skepticism.. but your comment made me realize that the seller may actually be a wide-eyed docile type with "pie in the sky" aspirations, rather than a beady eyed rat hoping for a sucker to come along and fall for his trap.
