Are these NES games factory sealed?

Do these games look sealed to you? The seller says the castlevanias, Faxandu and Bayou Billy are.

100% open.

You can even see the ripped plastic on Castlevania.
I don't know what kind of deal they want but Sword Master is probably worth something even open.

Maybe in some weird parallel universe, "shrink-wrap cut but some of it is still hanging on" counts as "factory sealed," as if the presence of some 30-year-old shrink-wrap makes something more valuable?

Pretty sure I can see the top flaps popping up a bit seeing that wrap has been cut away from the top so no, the dude is a liar. Call him on it and ask for a better price. Well maybe not a liar as that Sword Master game and the two Castlevania titles would be nice to have in such hopefully great shape.

Yep, good money in Sword Master, rare one. CV3 looks to be solid as well.

My guess is the "sealed" ones have the cart bags inside the box, leading him to think they're new. Shop on ebay often enough and you run across it frequently.
