    Default What was this guy thinking???

    Scroll down past everything that is listed and start reading the section right after metroid grey version complete. Says he hates to part with this collection but needs the money. Wouldn't he kick himself in the Ass if he knew what he just did! x_x

    No. Actually I missed that part. I guess I was still spinning from the fact that he did this...

    I included an example below of what each game contains. I took out everything in Snake Rattle N Roll and took detailed pics of the contents. Most of the complete games I personally took out of the factory seals that were still on them. The bags they are in now protect them from any outside dirt that may get in them.

    Don't get too upset. Chances are its just BS. I think some sellers put that in the auction just so people searching for "factory sealed" will come across the auction. Its amazing how many new sealed items were just opened "just to test" I just don't believe its always true.

    I think what the seller means is that he was the original owner, not that he specifically unsealed the games just to take pictures.

    This is a good selling point. When I am looking for a game for my collection, I always prefer auctions which are from the seller's "personal collection" or they are the original owner. I don't want to take a chance the game was a pre-owned, a previous rental, or even a little brother's.

    These are rentals. Continue reading the fine print in his description. That line about him opening the games or unsealing them is a flat out lie. These are likely all bought from the same old rental store and the boxes were just stored in the back.

    yeah if he has sealed nes games and knows their value there is no way he would be stupid enough to open them, even if he wanted to check them and make sure they were original i doubt the person that buys them would open them to check...
