New.
No box.
No required manual.
Clearly been used.
Oh...its "like new"....but not...
But don't forget to pay for the required hefty non-official insurance policy!
:roll:

LOL LOL LOL LOL i was thinking the same thing. figured it was my post, and i didn't even recognize the guy until i saw menard in the email address. i didn't end up too bad off. and as far as new goes, he might not be lying. they were selling large lots of game genies on ebay for about $70.....you would get like 75 game genies. and they were all untested. when the company went under they had boxes of them or something. something like that.......but........what a way to make a living......making roughly $.50 a pop, you can go eat lunch after you sell 20 of them :roll:

Could be, but the one in the picture is at least used...(see the grime between the ridges on the tab).
I was actually looking to buy Corpse Killer because I need a cheap 32x CD game for testing purposes.
50 cents was in my ballpark but add on $1 for "insurance" and $5 for shipping and its way out there.
Seriously, what is up with that insurance policy? How does it protect me at all? I give him a dollar and I am protected from what exactly? After seeing that other thread and his feedback, I am confident I will not get anything back at all if something goes awry. And besides,why the hell would I spend twice as much on "insurance" as I am spending on the game?! Last time I checked, insurance should really never exceed 20% of the total purchase.
No sir. Not with a 10 foot pole.

I got suckered into one of those lots. :embarrassed: I bought one when they first started appearing and then they kept appearing for the next year. I now have about 50 here. Anyone looking for a game genie?

I swear there was another thread with this seller in question, but I can't find it right now, and since I don't think anyone came out and said "msam" then it won't come up properly in a search.

$4.50 shipping :o
$1.05 insurance (required and totally bogus)
Your 55 cent game genies costs you:
$6.10!!
This seller is a fricking retard!
Avoid him like the plague!!
