[TisLord]

Ought to be fun watching this one ride out...

[jajaja]

Why ouch? :) Dr Brinn will win it without a doubt (unless the seller ends it early, but that can be a big mistake for the seller)

Jesus Christ.

[dj_spryte]

Why ouch? :) Dr Brinn will win it without a doubt (unless the seller ends it early, but that can be a big mistake for the seller)

Well for one thing, i've never seen a sealed snes game go for over a thousand. Even the auctions that he won. If Brinn get's outbid, then the highest bidder will most likely open the game and have his kid play it. That's why it would hurt. Another copy just went opened making it harder for us to find another one.

[jajaja]

It will go high, no doubt about that. But I doubt the winning bidder will open it. Maybe it will go close to $1000 and anyone who pays that much will never open it (i hope for their own sake hehe).

[jerome]

Hi guys
GUESS WHAT?
DJ_SPRYTE IS SNES_TREASURE ON EBAY HE IS THE SELLER OF THE GAME. HIS LAST EBAY ID DIED (FOR WHATEVER REASON, JUST LOOK UP DJ_SPRYTE, AND HE STARTED OVER AS SNES_TREASURE.

He's here writing his opinions of selling the game and all but he is the seller.

Maybe since we have the actual seller of this "famous" game in our midst, he can supply us with some decent pictures- because until he does, Dr Brinn aint buying anything.

Why put up the most rare snes factory sealed game and not have any pictures, even if you have to borrow a camera?

Dr Brinn may love snes, but he aint no fool. I would gather that none of you big snes collectors are fools either.

SHOW US THE GOODS or sell it to the dad so his spoiled ass son can open a new battle ogre

[dj_spryte]

Check the auction now you asswipe!! Hey that's not a bad idea! I think I will sell it to the DAD and his spoiled kid. I'm getting good money for it! Your really putting your time and effort into a lousy auction aren't you DOCTOR!! No point on you bidding on it anymore because your blocked, my loss?? I couldn't care less, it's still my auction. Good luck to finding your own Ogre Battle because you'll need it. Talk to you later Jerome, Doctor, Brinn or whatever you wish to call yourself.

[dj_spryte]

for your other information my other account closed because i was selling 250 games in 1 nes cartridges. I saw other people doing it so I decided to do the same not knowing it was wrong. My auctions remain and stays.

[Bronty-2]

deleted - I'm staying out of this.

[dj_spryte]

"SHOW US THE GOODS or sell it to the dad so his spoiled ass son can open a new battle ogre"

[jajaja]

I think i'd rather sell this game to a true collector like Brinn than to some dad who claims hes going to open it for his son. Im sure Brinn would pay about the same amount as this dad guy. When you sell it you cant controll what the buyer would do to it of course and I dont think would have cared either, but still.

[dj_spryte]

As much as I want to he's been giving me a hard time ever since i listed this auction. Look honestly, all i really want to do i sell, i don't want to raise no problems here on DP. I apologive for my vulgar language earlier and if anyone would like to ask me something about the game please PM or email me.

[Darth Sensei]

Didn't Dr. Brinn get raked over the coals here some time ago for grossly over paying for something else and then making a big stink about it?

[mills]

I would open it and play it myself. Thats what video games are for!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Griking]

Didn't Dr. Brinn get raked over the coals here some time ago for grossly over paying for something else and then making a big stink about it?

Brinn and every one of his multiple personalities needs therapy. I'm sure you can find more as well if you really wanted to look. Personally I'd avoid selling anything to him myself because I wouldn't want to deal with the headaches.

[esquire]

Don't really want to get into this, but I'd like to point out a few observations:

1. I have dealt with Brinn on ebay before, both buying and selling, and never have had a problem on either end. Just my two cents.

2. Anyone else notice he posted his phone # for all to see in his question?

3. DJ_Spryte - You should have been more forthcoming as to the auction being yours. I am surprised no one else has jumped on you for this. Some people have problems with posters promoting their own auctions in the manner, "hey, look what I found on ebay!"

I for one would not end the auction early. Let it ride. Make sure that it is insured and delivered by Fedex, not the USPS or CPS. And I don't buy the post about the father wanting to buy a sealed game for his son. If you believe that, I need to buy that game for the neighbor boy who is blind and grew up an orphan until he was 12.

[Whiskers the Wonder Cat]

One grand... Wow. Someone's going to be rich soon.

[rarecube]

Umm ....

Can we get a back pic .... I want to see that vertical seam...

[rarecube]

Can you email me a picture of the back of the game please ?

Why are you selling this game ?

I remember you told me that this game took you so much effort to get,and that you paid a big amount of money for it...??

And in you questions and answers you say the following ;

Well it was nothing special. It was a gift for my cousin in the 90's in which he never opened.

I dont really understand ? im confused ....

[jajaja]

There are 2 pics of the back in the auction.

[VGfan]

I thought you already had one Cruz? Do you want to own two? @_@

[rarecube]

I thought you already had one Cruz? Do you want to own two? @_@
Well... i mean , that game its hard to find sealed... Would be nice.

[Nes]

"Q: I'm willing to pay over a thousand dollars for this game. Can you send me additional pics? Do you accept paypal? My son would like to play this game on his birthday, he just likes gettng his games brand new. Write me back ASAP!
14-Feb-06

A: I've had a similar offer. Give me your final price and i'll get back to you in a few days before the auction closes. Thanks."

This guy should be banned from ever again purchasing a video game. This is an affront to video game collectors everywhere. Your poor little baby boy won't play a 10 year old game unless it's brand new? Sheesh. This guy has to be joking.

[Bronty-2]

I would tend to think that the poster of that question isn't being genuine..

[anagrama]

If any of you honestly believe that potential buyer is going to let their son open it, then you're more stupid than whoever ends up paying hundreds/thousands of dollars for the thing.

[jajaja]

Its fully possible that some rich fucker actually would pay $1000 for this game to his son or stepson just to impress his mother hehe :P This is madness tho since you can get a complete copy for 1/10 of the price.

But since he offered $1000 when the highest bid was around $100 he must have an idea what this game is worth. So ye, its most likely just bullshit.

An email by a random bidder to stop what your doing cancel the bids and add a high BIN and actually getting the paypal in your account are two different things. Some people like to screw with auctions thay can't afford. OR its a way to keep the seller from selling early to someone else for cheaper than they might be willing to bid.

[jajaja]

Its nothing wrong being rich of course, but I wouldnt be suprised if someone really did pay $1000 for this and gave it to a kid who would open it. I think this would be madness since you can get a complete copy for 1/10 of the price as I mentioned. Its still the same game and it wont play any diffrent.

[Darren870]

Don't want to jump on the bull shit train but the seller did win a Orge Battle a few weeks prior:

Now we'll have to check his auction history for a shrink wrap machine like with that other seller a few weeks back, vidiots.

[Darren870]

Hehe already checked. But the other game he is selling new is in that lot.

Maybe he bought the two sealed Space Invaders, Sliced it open on a seem and then heated the seem back together?

Seems odd he would buy those two SNES games. (in his history)

Who knows really...I could be 100% wrong as I know nothing about SNES seals.

Bronty? Got a call on this?

How does heating thin plastic together make them stick. If that were the case people would be selling sealed snes games all over the place. Did it ever occur to you that i bought the open copy so I can play it, and i'm selling my sealed one for money. Whatever say what you want, either way somone's gonna get there money's worth from this auction, just wait and see.

[jajaja]

dj_spryte: There was a guy who bought alot of mint NES/N64 games, resealed them and sold them as factory sealed. They even had the horizontal line and hangtab. I was amazed that it looked so real.

I'm not saying you have resealed this game, but it is possible to reseal games yourself with horizontal line like the other guy did. After this i understand if people put a questionmark when someone is selling a sealed game, especialy when a complete and mint copy was bought by the seller not long ago.

Basically 100% argree.

dj_spryte: I never said you did or I was even sure. Infact I thought you just found this auction, I didn't know it was yours as I didn't read the whole thread. Heating thin plastic together sticks, thats how most resealler's do it. All i was pointing out is that you won an auctions with a few games that were boxed and now two of them are appearing on ebay as factory sealed. Thats the part that stands out, nothing else.

[Griking]

I say that nobody should ever purchase a sealed game again. Ever. Lock yourselves up in your homes and hide under the covers because there may be a big bad shrink wrapping manchine hiding in the closet waiting to pounce on you when you close your eyes.

This is vigilante justice at it's best. Nobody has authentic sealed games any more. They all have to be re-seals because everyone's to paranoid be believe otherwise.

Give up game collection and take up something less stressful like needle work.

. . . or better yet, let's all assume that every seller is truthful and honest, and that there are no shady sellers on eBay. Ebay is a land of blue skies and gum drop tree forests where everyone's dreams can come true because nothing ever bad happens there. Oh wait, people do get screwed on ebay. There's even this THREAD (http://www.digitpress.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=78357&highlight=) here where you take the same old position you always do, and it turns out the seller was scamming people, and even admitted to it! We always appreciate your pessimism and sarcasm you always seem to include in every devil's advocate post you make here, but you yourself must realize that there are times to legitimately question an auction.

Someone here already pointed out the OP did not disclose that this was his auction. That is clearly being dishonest here. We also come to find out that the seller won the exact same game earlier in mint condition. Now, no one has said he re-sealed the game, but if you ask me, things are starting to look interesting.

The post above just about said it all - I just have one thing to add. If it were your money you were shelling out for this stuff, you wouldn't be calling it vigilante justice, you'd be calling it protecting yourself. Nothing wrong with doing a little research when you're about to drop a few hundred dollars. Have someone rip you off for 300 bones and then tell me you're not going to be as careful as you can.

Good call Darren, I noted the same thing. This auction is actually at couple different gaming sites, and people have their reservations, and rightly so.

Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if the auction was pulled from eBay, quite frankly.

[Darth Sensei]

I for one will never buy sealed games because of all the shenanigans with resealing.

I do find it interesting that this guy swears this is a legitmate seal right after trying to fool us all into thinking this isn't his auction to begin with.

[dj_spryte]

hey guys look what ebay did:

Dear snes_treasures,

We appreciate that you chose eBay to list the following auction-style listing(s):

8259831211 - OGRE BATTLE FACTORY SEALED NEW SNES SUPER NINTENDO


However, your listing was in violation of eBay's Circumvention of eBay Fees policy and has been removed from eBay. We have credited all associated fees to your account and notified eBay users associated with the transaction that it has been cancelled.

We would like to take this opportunity to let you know what part of your listing is not permitted.

Your listing(s) contains the following information:

I'm willing to end the auction to the highest Buy it Now price. But I would like to wait a couple of days to see what offers I get. Which ever offer seams...

Users may not use systems or techniques to circumvent, or avoid, eBay fees. Listings or content that circumvent (avoid) fees may provide a poor buying experience and create an unlevel playing field by penalizing sellers who pay all of their eBay fees. Further, these listings and content undermine the trust of eBay's marketplace

oh well, at least I already my highest highest offer.

SOLD!!

[Darth Sensei]

And the "winner" can't even leave you negative feedback if it turns out to be a re-seal. Almost as if that was your intent all along. :roll:

[dj_spryte]

No it wasn't. Besides this person's paying by paypal, if it's not what that person wants he'll get a refund. But i doubt that will happen.

There's a difference between examining the facts and using cauting before bidding and accusing someone of something on a public forum that we have alsolutely no evidense of. As of right now the only thing this seller has done remotely wrong was to post an ad for an auction without making it clear that it was his (as if nobody else he has done that before :roll:). Oh, and post an auction for a factory sealed game, because God knows there's no such thing anymore.

The guy has a 100% feedback rating. I just don't understand why everyone who posts an auction for a sealed game has to be considered guilty here until proven innocent.

[jerome]

I'm going to make this one and only entry on this "situation". I made the guy an offer of $1200 to $1500 and never heard ONE WORD in 5 days. A friend of mine offered him $1300 by email and again never HEAR ONE WORD. Now I don't know about you guys, but if I'm selling an item worth over $1,000, I'm going to keep in touch with my biggest offers, I certainly don't want to lose someone if an offer goes astray.

When this offer began, I told several other collectors what would happen. The auction would never end on its own.
This guy would have to end it early to save face, then go on DP and tell everyone what it sold for. Meanwhile THERE WAS NO ITEM, NO OGRE, THE ENTIRE 10 DAYS PLUS THREADS IS THE RESULT OF ONE SICK DUDE.

For whatever reason, dj_spryte = snes_treasure or whatever, has this weird desire "to play with the big boys", to act like he will spend alot or sell big dollar items. ALWAYS he either backs out of the buy OR makes the sale secretive.

This guy is SICK, he is a pathological liar.
Besides
he has multiple ids to sell and buy
he buys game and sells them at the same time, and quickly withdraws from offers
He seems to sell games he doesn't own
He's got a personality disorder liking himself to appear larger than he is

What a shame, what a waste of lots of people's times.
I hearby promise never to even consider buying from or selling to or corresponding by email with this creep.

[esquire]

No it wasn't. Besides this person's paying by paypal, if it's not what that person wants he'll get a refund. But i doubt that will happen.

I doubt it will happen too. Lke I'm sure he will open it to verify the contents if he is half the collector that we think he is (who else would buy a sealed game for over $1000?, :roll: . unless of course you sold it to moneybags for his 10 year old brat to open up and play. LOL

Strange how you list this like it's not your auction. If some guy offered you $1000 why are you saying "ouch"??? You should say "hoo-ray"!

[cavein2000]

After reading through this thread, I just kinda wish that we could just enjoy playing video games. I realize there are complications, especially with thousand dollar games, but really....
