Thought I would share a little story about this expierance.

Ok so about 5 months ago I bought a sealed Virtua Striker 2002 for GameCube, it costed me about $9 plus shipping. Well I paid, and a month later I was still waiting for the item. I emailed over and over and no replies for weeks, finally I got one out of the blue saying he was sorry and he had mailed it. Keep in mind I had left no feedback yet. I said it was fine and if it was at my doorstep within the next few days I would leave positive.

It never came. I waited weeks again, sent more and more emails over and over and no replies at all. So, I decided I would keep emailing this guy. For literally 2 months straight I sent him an email asking about it like every other day. I never got anything so I just gave up. I retract my payment and damn PayPal only gives me about $2 of the cash back, I leave him negative feedback and decided to deal with my first scam online.

To my suprise I open my email inbox and I find a email from the guy and he says hes sorry and is willing to pay me the money back and give me another Virtua Striker if I cancel the PayPal warning dealy. And so here I am with $10 and a copy of Virtua Striker. :D

So did you actually get the copy of the game yet, or is this just another line to keep you quiet for another month?

Sweet, a free game. Seems he will do anything to keep from getting negative feedback, including paying you to take the game.

I've had good stuff like that happen to me also. I won 6 GameCube games one and it took forever for me to get them. When I finally got them, to my suprise it had copies of True Crimes instead for PS2! But the game was only a month old at the time so I went to KBToys and "returned" it and got Zelda for GameCube with the money.

Oh ok. Now that makes more sense... imagine BITADE, at only a month old, buying True Crime - which incidentally is rated M for mature ?! The ratings system would be definitely broken in that case.

I get happy in the end when I eat too many spicy burritos
