So I put a bid down again and again for the Secret of Monkey Island on Amiga. Auction states 'new and sealed'. Seller has excellent feedback score.

Got it in the mail today and straight away I knew something was up. I didn't get how the box corners could be ever so slightly worn,yet, the shrink wrap wasn't? Well I was convinced enough to open it up, you know the rest.

Did you ever get nailed by 'New and Sealed sellers' ?

Yep. I bought a Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles for Gamecube on Ebay a few years ago that was advertised as sealed. I could tell by the flimsy plastic that it was a re-seal. Opened it up, disk was scratched, and it didn't even have the manual in it. Re-seals=scams.

(I'm still looking for a manual if anyone has an extra)
