ebay seller vididiots - reseals, IMO

[Buyatari]

Too bad jail time isn't possible. Fraud like this certainly deserves it. If he doesn't sell this time he will change his name and try again.

Maybe one at a time with bad pictures or in a lot with no closeups. Anyway someone will get stuck with these at some point.

Hmm someone ask if you can do a pickup because the last time you bought sealed games the seller had a reseal.

[Damaramu]

Hmm...seems he has bidder ID private. No way to warn them....if you wanted to.

[Kitsune Sniper]

... which means he might be aware of us by now.

[Darth Sensei]

if you check out his recent bidding activity, he won a shrink wrapping machine

Which is against eBay rules anyways

I don't think all of them are Re-sealed, but I would bet most of them are. Like Bronty said earlier, the seam doesn't look right. The seam on the sides of the game should be in the middle, but most of them are down lower.

This is kind of weird. I remember this member emailed me about a NES game I was selling months ago. I dont remember what game it was, but he told me he lived in the same city as me and wanted to come by my house and pick it up. He also asked if I was interested in any unsual trades. I obviously said no way, and he never bid on the item. But I noticed on his auctions right now it says he's from New Jersey. Kinda weird considering I dont live anywhere near New jersey. When he told me this he also mentioned that he worked at a local radio near my house. Obviously something isnt right here. I wouldnt trust this guy at all. I think he is full of shit.

Hey all. I just wanted to keep this at the top to make sure everyone that looks at this DOES NOT buy the games. After looking at just about EVERY SINGLE one of this person's games, I am 100% that basically EVERY SINGLE game is re-sealed!!!! (I couldn't tell for sure on a couple of them because of the bad pictures)

After looking closer everything about the games is wrong. From the plastic that is used (Real sealed games use a thicker plastic) to the lines in the plastic (The seal goes ALL the way to the top on the sides of the game on some of them). Besides the obvious, you can just tell these are re-sealed opened games! I'm sure that's why there are NO pictures of the tops of the games.
And besides all that, he purchased a wrapping machine like the above post say!

I don't know if contacting ebay would do anything or not? I have emailed the buyers before but they usually don't reply or don't believe me claiming "I just want to win the game, so I am lying to them!?)

He probably is a member here. He is a regular poster at Gamefaqs under the name of NMorgan. He rather stupidly revealed he was vididiots while showing off his latest purchase: LINK

Isnt a horizontal seam nearly impossible to reproduce? Never even seen a real shrinking machine in my life, but I have heard (probably from another post on here) that special hi $$$ shrink wrapping machines were the only ones that could reproduce it with "legit looking" results.

I only checked out a few of the auctions myself, and to my eye most of them looked legit, but if everyone else is saying they are fake-o, thats good enough for me... Hell, I dont really know much about sealed games

With enough trial and error, you could get it pretty good, but not perfect.

Now he has a bunch of N64 stuff up for auction. Correct me if I'm mistaken, but isn't a new/sealed N64 game(s) have a different type of seal than NES and SNES stuff?? Isn't it vertical and not horizontal on the back?? I haven't looked at my sealed N64 stuff in a while so I could be mistaken.

sealed nes games are sealed a certain way. no one has an actual pic of an actual sealed nes game? it would end it now

it would end what? The discussion over whether they're fake? It was never a controversy in the first place. They're fake, period.

[Damaramu]

And if you're reading this NMorgan aka Vididiots, you can shove those games straight up your ass.

Yeah, it might be pretty hard to tell if you don't know much about sealed games. But if you have been collecting them for a long time and have many of them, you can usually easily tell!

I hope to god that someone's just messing with his auctions! His sealed Zelda is now at $3500
