And where's the baggy too ? :rolleyes:

Discuss. tickled

Bought KOF 98 from that seller some time ago. It also had a picture like that.

That thing even smelled new. I don't think my copy had ever been opened. There were no marks anywhere.

So this could be legit.

"Above photo is just the sample. The auction item is brand new and not opened before."

I see no problem here, you can found those easily in the seller's country, Japan.

"Please make sure your NEO GEO can play Japanese before bidding" spock

Brand New ? yeah maybe. Unopened ? No. the picture show's the cart, so the seal sticker has been broken. Maybe "unused" should be the term.

But it's easy to see that the game isn't new. look at the manual. And I repeat : Where's the baggy ? :rolleyes:

Brand new ? without baggy ? My ass !

Read the whole auction. You'll find:

Above photo is just the sample. The auction item is brand new and not opened before.

Same statement was in the auction I bought KOF 98 on, and like I said, it was perfect.

Read the whole auion info ? Are you fucking blind ? :rolleyes:

The cart is out of the box. IT WAS OPENED

All Neo Geo games came with baggies for the manuals. Where is it ?

Almost all Neo Geo carts smells like new for ages. It's easy to fool anybody if any game is just mint+ and pretending the game to be as a "new" one.

Atrophyed, I can see you've been around for a while. Not trying to instigate a flame war.

E-mail the seller if there's something you want to know.

I'm telling you, the game you'd get is probably new and sealed. I think what he does is open 1 and use the photo forever.

Already did. His response :

"The game is the same as the picture, in the box"

Might he wanted to say something diferent ?

I think there is a bit of a language barrier here. 'Same' could mean exact same item to you, but it could mean same game to him. I still think he knows what he's saying. I believe he has a single stock picture and whole stocks of unopened carts.

Let me say that it's a pretty bad philosophy when trying to sell a "NEW" cart. wink

Usually, when you're selling a BRAND NEW Neo Geo game, you usually take an actual picture of the item.

I remember Yamatoku selling a KOF97, and an other ebayer was selling one as a "brand new jap copy" using Yamatoku's pics !!

MWHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!! "Yamatoku's pics" !! they never look new ! :rolleyes:

I emailed the guy. completely makes sence what I'm saying. Why should I post a topic like this otherwise ?

HPMAN · Jul 20, 2003

WHY SHOULD YOU EMAIL A GUY WHEN THE AUCTION TEXT LEAVES NO DOUBT ?

There's dozens of those for $1 in Japan. Why would the seller lie ?

I'm not saying its a good or convincing strategy, I always take pics of the actual item I'm selling to avoid this type of stuff, but I still think he'd be a bit dumb to try and sell it as new if it was the item pictured. He has almost 6k positive feedback, likely not for nothing.

hey, not judging his feedback man! :cool:

I still doesn't convince me that the game is new. stock picture ? bad idea. at least he could have used a better SAMSHO II Pic ! this one is full of whitening here and there.

And by his sentence, "Above photo is just the sample. The auction item is brand new and not opened before".

It can mean "just the sample" of what you can get. It's a possibility.
He would maybe tried to say that the game is new but never been played/used before. Thus, that's what I'm criticizing the auction description.

You don't see anywhere saying "The game in the picture is not the one you'll get".

And btw, I know there are still shitloads of new games In Japan.

i guess its somewhat confusing but im used to jack, he uses that same pic for all his brand new ss2s, when i got one it was sealed with sticker complete etc...

c.t.h · Jul 20, 2003

Heh, it wouldn't make sense to take a pic for every game, sam 2s are a dime a dozen. Still, you'd think his stock photo actually showed a new one.

Wouldn't it be wiser to take at LEAST a pic of a real "new unopened SSII" as a stock picture for these ocasions ?

Oh wait, look, it could also mean "item is brand new and not opened before"

I't written !!! AMAZING !!!

Atrophyed:

WTF do you think "Above photo is just the sample. The auction item is brand new and not opened before" means ?

It explains the PICTURE is here for sample (not the cart, the picture/photo) it's written in plain text.
Cart is unopened. It's also written TRULY AMAZING !!!
So if your IQ is above 2 you got figured it's a different cart you're buying (as the pic shows an opened one).

You got too much time to waste.
Let's laugh about another auction, like, say... <a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3027318812" target="_blank">this one</a>

Look WTF are those pics !!! eek!
Fucking blurry pics, is the seller idiot or what ?
I don't see the carts. Pics only shows boxes, is the auction for the whole game or only boxes ? Can't see the actual carts on the pics !!!

LOOK, some games aren't even pictured ! What a bad auction !!!

6000 feedbacks users are put in doubt, this 77 seller must be a scammer !!!

supergoose · Jul 21, 2003

HPMAN LOOK, some games aren't even pictured ! What a bad auction !!!

no baggies. frown

TheBigBB · Jul 21, 2003

He's a power seller. He doesn't have time to post a new picture for every item. If he says it's new, then I believe him. Why wouldn't you beleive him? You're calling him a liar just because you don't like how he lists the auction? There's a difference between a so-so listing and lying about the goods. No one has a problem with this seller.

Ilovejapangirls · Jul 21, 2003

He's great

i bought a kof 2001 for him after 2 or 3 months from the official release

in mint conditions at only 199 $....
