    I'd guess that his idea of being refurbished is to rub the contacts with a Q-tip and alcohol.

    He replaced the contacts, and put ona brand new label. The inside has just been cleaned off. Screws have been replaced also. that would be extremly difficult. :P

    Already did with no response, heres what I sent.

    "Hello, I'd like to know the method of refurbishment this item has been through. Also I would like to know the company that did the refurbishing and any other info you can provide. Thank you very much"

    And that was this morning, I hope I get a response.

    All in good fun my friend, we're not anal, just pickin!

    Anyways, Got a response....

    we do the refurbishing in house. I prefer not to give trade secrets. I
    will tell you though, that these games play perfectly the first time you put
    them into the NES(provided you don't have a problem with the main cartridge
    junction). you don't have to blow on them 5000 times to make them work.
    just plug it in and play.

    If anyone wants to know "his trade secrets" email me $5 I will sell them to you. Also, you have the rights to sell the trade secrets if you wish.
