Here's an example of a stupid ass eBayer.

[emceelokey]

You guy all know what e-reader games are right. I thought so. Well I put some e-reader games up for auction and heres what happens. Now I just pasted the text from the emails that she sent to me so read them from the bottom to top to read it in chronological order. All of the words in caps are hers and I did not do those. She actually sent them to me that way. I'm noe sure if it will transfer to this post but she actually did some words in like a size 20 and in red color. Just another example of another stupid ass gamer.



YES THIS WAS GOING TO BE THE FIRST TIME BUYING A GAMEBOY GAME YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT KIND OF WRAPPER THERE WILL BE INSIDE THE CARDBOARD YOU STATED YOU TOOK THE GAMES OUT OF THE CARDBOARD BOX FOR SAKE OF SPACE. BY SAYING THAT YOU WAS TRYING TO MAKE ME THINK THEY WERE ACTUALLY GAMES NOT DUMB ASS CARDS. WOULD IT HAVE BEEN THAT HARD TO MENTION THE WORD CARDS OH YEA THEN I GUESS NOBODY WOULD HAVE BID ON YOUR STUPID ASSED CARDS HUH! YEA IT WORKED THIS TIME. BUT NEVER AGAIN, JUST ADMIT YOU WERE TRYING TO RIP SOMEBODY OFF BECAUSE YOU WERE I SELL ON EBAY TOO, THERE ARE VERY FEW PEOPLE LIKE YOU AND YOU PEOPLE ARE GIVING EBAY A BAD NAME I AM A HONEST PERSON THAT DOESN'T TRY TO GET SOMETHING FROM NOTHING THEREFORE IF THIS WAS MY AUCTION I WOULD HAVE STATED IN BIG RED LETTERS "THESE ARE NOT ACTUALLY GAMES". THAT PROVES RIGHT THERE YOU WAS TRYING TO RIP ME OFF. THE CRIMINAL WORD FOR THAT IS CALLED THEFT BY DECEPTION. YOU SHOULD BE RECEIVING A LETTER SHORTLY.

Obviously you are not educated on game boy games. And did you look at the
picture that was on the auction. It was clearly 8 e-reader games on the
picture. I'm sorry that you are not satisfied with what you had bid on under
your own discretion but if you were not aware of what those games were then
you should have not have bid on them twice.

[emceelokey]

Woah! I did'nt know that the "F" word gets censored to "shaq-fu". That's shaq-fuing awesome.

[mousin]

HAHAHAHAHAHA, hes trying to scam you. dont listen to him, and tell ebay about this.

[Theenternal]

Im sending this person and email ^_^... I love having an excuse to bother people

[R1V3R5]

That guy is a retard. I may send him an email. :twisted:

[levi333]

Have fun:)

[cag1000]

thats a ghetto ass mommy
prob buyin gats, tims, fubu, and red and blue bandanas on ebay as well

[hutno]

Wow what a bitch

[organicow]

wow man, that's funny as hell! what a waterhead!!

[levi333]

Woah! I did'nt know that the "F" word gets censored to "shaq-fu". That's shaq-fuing awesome.

Didnt know either, thats make it pretty cool. Was kinda getting tired of people overusing shaq-fu, but now i know it wasnt their choice.

[Ledhed]

I'm so glad I don't sell on ebay. I'm sure 99% of the bidders are OK, but this is just the type of thing that puts me off.

[biggestinuyashafan]

i wouldn't refund a penny of it. do you have a link to the auction? it is not theft if you said e-reader games, since they are. did you say in the auction that you need an e-reader for them to play? i am not saying that you had to put that, but it might have helped out some of these stupid people.

[emceelokey]

Go all out on what you want's do to do to her. By the way her original user id was "asnewmommy" then she changed her id the same day that I received her first email. It's funy how she thinks that she knows all these laws while she was threatening me from the start. All I gots to say is I got you money BEEYATCH!!!!!!!!

[Theenternal]

Email sent.

I used information from

http://www.nintendo-e-reader.com/

and the e-reader nintendo info at ebgames.com

[guessed]

I think the bidder still doesn't understand that these are, in fact, games.

[emceelokey]

Here's the link. I didn't say you need an e-reader to play the games but there's a picture that you can look at and I always end all of my listings wit "If you have any questions please ask....."


OOps duh! Ther link.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=62053&item=8138765 012

[Ledhed]

Emcee, do you mind if I send her a link to this thread? I want her to see how bad she is getting owned.

[kristianator]

advise her to e-mail ebay and ask them to review the auction and what she actually received. it would be even more embarrassing if ebay told her she was the dumbass, instead of you telling her so.

[SteveMcQ]

:rofl: The wonders of Ebay.

[emceelokey]

I perfer not. I say shes better off being left stupid. I didn't even respond to her last email. I just wanted some entertainment. When the time is right Ledhed. When the time is right.

[evilmax17]

I dunno, I kind of feel bad. I mean the odds are that she was buying these for her kid. She was probably so proud of herself that she'd be able to give her child not one but EIGHT GBA games for christmas, boy wouldn't they be surprised! And on such a tight income too, who would've thought that the wonders of ebay would've have provided such a great and magical christmas for a little child in a poor family!

Although, maybe I'm completely wrong and it's some fat old guy trying to scam you out of some e-Reader games. Either way...

[emceelokey]

Yeah. I guess me and hundreds of others that are listing e-reader games are commiting "theft by deciet" or whatever she said.

[Ledhed]

If the person who sent those emails is a mother, then I pray for her children. That was some of the most juvenile and ridiculous stuff in her response emails. My money's on "lame scammer trying to inspire sympathy with the mom line."

[emceelokey]

You probably did anyway. I don't care. Then she'll know that more than one person knows how big a fuck up she made.

[guessed]

Your auction is perfectly clear, and your shipping charge was only a dollar, to boot. I'd send her another email explaining that these are games, encoded on cards, that can only be read by the e-reader, as mentioned clearly in the auction text.

You have to admit, if you had never heard of an ereader, you would be pretty confused by these cards, not expecting them to actually have playable games. I am not forgiving the bidder for being rude, obnoxious, and ignorant, but just trying to see it from their perspective.

[drone8888]

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=62053&item=8138765 012


$27 for it all, ain't too bad.

I'd sign her up for a pyramid scheme.
:O

[bignick]

Emcee, do you mind if I send her a link to this thread? I want her to see how bad she is getting owned.
Thats what I was thinking. What a stupid whore. People like that are the ones giving ebay a bad name. Stupid cunt.

[Ledhed]

I swear on my mother's eyes that I didn't. I was just imagining the look on her face when ebay tells her she was in the wrong.

Check out these negatives left for her. Her excuses are so canned it's ridiculous.

BUYER:auction ended 8/22 & after lots of tries with NO REPLY, I get ripped box? no thx

Reply by laja231.5: HAD NO WAY TO GET ONLINE/DISCONNECTED I DID SHIP HER PRODUCT WHEN I GOT HER ADD.


BUYER:this was a bad sale shipping way over priced took 10 days to put in mail DONT DO

Reply by laja231.5: HAD A DEATH I EMAILED HER AND EXPLAINED SHIIOING WAS NOT HIGH IT IS EXPENSIVE

If you can't have the guarantee of internet access, you shouldn't be selling things on the net. Death in the family? :bs:

[emceelokey]

Thanks for the support though. I didn't even bother to look at her FBs. I already determined that she was bs from her email. What's funny though is that I totally would have refunded her money (minus shipping cost though, of course) if she had asked politely and in a respectable manner. I have worked out refunds with people before and I know I'll end up doing it again and that's fine as long as it's addressed in a professional manner.

[dnt_h8me2]

What a stupid byatch. She deserves to be ripped off.

[centraldogmae]

What? I thought the game cartridges always came indidually wrapped like a pack of trading cards.

Man I am so sorry you had to deal with this whack job. I'm surprised that she didn't complain about the missing sticks of bubble gum.

[judyjudyjudy]

Oh my god, what an insane bitch. How does she do business on the internet with typing and vocab and attitude like that??? I wonder if she's really going to report you, because that's just absurd.

btw, you probably should have mentioned in your feedback she didn't know what e-reader cards were.

[Fungi]

Wow. The dumbest dumbass that ever dumbed an...er...ass?

To take a line from South Park:

I bet it's some woman that looks like Barbara Streisand too...

Anyways, you have nothing to worry about. The cards are games and she's simply ignorant. Or retarded. Caps lock indicate the latter...

I always wonder if people took the time to look at the pictures....the cards were right there infront of her...how fucking blind can you be to not notice that..

[doraemonkerpal]

sheesh, they are clearly e-reader cards in your pictures. this is just another idiot buyer that ebay is being pummeled with lately.

[YoshiFan1]

It's too bad that you left her positive feedback first, since she defiently deserves negative feedback.

[slidecage]

I Know im going to get flame for this but i can see her point. YOu didnt say you needed a e reader to play these games and you didnt say they were cards..

overall i put the blame 1% you 99% them.. They should of asked but you should of put MOre info. She can have a case agasint you though .. you just showed the wrapers you didnt show the cards...

ROFL they look like cards. Any dumb ass buying games knows what e-reader is. Just cause some soccer mom is ignorant, it doesn't really make it a case.

It's like me buying sega cd games and assuming I can play it on my genesis.

Morons.

[abrannan]

Charging $5 shipping (Parcel post, I might add) for 2 sheets of scrapbook paper? If it's over 4lbs and being shipped across the country, maybe. That falls under the category of high and unreasonable shipping.

Yes he did it says e-reader games in the auction. If you don't know what e-reader games are then don't bid!

[Rig]

I thought her responses were very funny. She is such a dumbass! You did nothing wrong OP, and it was clearly her ignorance that led to this situation. I love that she thought these were cartridges, when your picture clearly shows they are packs of cards! :lol:

[jetblac]

I got ripped by an ebayer who purchased a 4gb compact flash card from me for $225... After recieving the item he says this is not what I thought it was. He didn't bother asking for his money back, he called his credit card company. Next thing I know PayPal takes the $225 back.
now here I am without a 4gb compact flash card and without the $225. That was fucked up.

yea but NOWHERE did it say that you needed another part to play the games. They should of put YOU WILL NEED AN E READER to play these.. i might just dealt with too many fools on ebay that is why im thinking this way ....

Yes there are many people out there who think they can play Sega cd games on a genesis. That is why I put THese will only play in the Sega cd on my auctions when i sell those types of games. I had at least 3 people ask me how does a CD fit into a cartage based system in the last 5 years

I'm so glad I don't sell on ebay. I'm sure 99% of the bidders are OK, but this is just the type of thing that puts me off.

I've been selling on eBay for the last 5 years and ran into complete morons like these every once in a while. I sold a Frito Lay's Spirit of Obiwan mailaway figure and the buyer whined it wasn't made of crystal... doesn't she know something like that would never be made with the kind of toy safety law we have?!

eBay is now a cesspool, I am so glad I quit doing it. Life is much better without eBay.

THIS IS LAJA231.5 AND I AM A BUYER ON YOUR FUCKED UP SIGHT. I HAVE BEEN SENT THESE DAMN CARDS AND IT SAID GAMEBOY GAMES. HE IS WHY YOU ARE ALL CONSIDERED ASSES AND I NEED TO HAVE MY MONEY BACK TO PAY FOR MY BABYSITTER.

HE IS A HEARTLESS BASTARD AND I HAVE NO IDEA HOW HE CAN SELL THESE GAMES..EERR CARDS ON THIS SITE.

HE MUST PAY IN 48 HOURS OR I WILL FILE CHARGES AGAINST EBAY FOR BEING ACCOMPLICES FOR THEFT AND DEFRAUDING THE ASNEWMOM1 REPUBLIC...

That's the problem, Paypal doesn't care. When they get a credit card chargeback notice, they don't stand up for the seller and rather than fight the charge, they decide it's easier for them to just take the money from the seller's account

Well they are "suppose" to arbitrate the case but for the $225 item you probably should have threatened to take the guy to small claims court or something, this is why I don't sell anything expensive over ebay, there are so many ways to get screwed.

[rawer]

laja231.5's (formerly "asnewmommy1") profile says she's in Springville, UT. That's 15 mins. south of me.

If I had an address, I could pull a little recon job...

[dnxthx]

While you could have said that these were cards, your description clearly states that these are e-reader games. Certainly, there is absolutely no justification for her tone, demands, and threats.

I'm 99% sure the guy has to mail your item back to you if he does a charge back. How long ago was this? Have you asked him to mail your item back? If he doesn't do it talk to a postal inspector about filing a mail fraud charge, I'm not sure you can, but I'd definitely look into it if I were you.

Crap like this makes me want to start accepting money orders only...

[YoshiFan1]

I wouldn't mind switching over to money orders only as well but it really hurts your sales. It seems that money order only auctions typicall go for 66% - 75% of the amount that Paypal auctions go to (from what I have seen when comparing certain items like DDR games or Beatmania controllers)

With your e-reader cards you swipe them through a

Then you are able to play the games on that card. The

I'd say you could have been clearer in your auction, but I certainly don't think you did anything wrong. I may not have considered people wouldn't realize an e-reader game isn't a normal cartrige myself. (Seems like common knowledge to me, but I guess there are always clueless buyers.)

I mean you have the picture right there. What did she think she was looking at? Shiny foil packs with super flat cartridges inside?

Took a look at the feedbacks and looks like you left positive after she paid? That sucks. I always wait to leave feedback (as a seller) until the buyer leaves feedback for me. Some don't agree with that, but it's the only way to semi-protect yourself from unreasonable buyers.

[hiccupleftovers]

Your auction is perfectly clear, and your shipping charge was only a dollar, to boot. I'd send her another email explaining that these are games, encoded on cards, that can only be read by the e-reader, as mentioned clearly in the auction text.

You have to admit, if you had never heard of an ereader, you would be pretty confused by these cards, not expecting them to actually have playable games. I am not forgiving the bidder for being rude, obnoxious, and ignorant, but just trying to see it from their perspective.

I agree with exactly what you said guessed. He made it perfectly clear, there is a picture with what she was getting and if she was ignorant on what she was bidding on, well there's the internet for starters to do some research or to go to a B&M store and check it out, or then again she seems capable of e-mailing him so you'd think that if she wasn't sure on what she was bidding on she could have at least e-mailed him and asked him. Also in her e-mails, she constantly keeps saying that they are GAME BOY GAMES, which technically they are but in the auction they are clearly stated as E-reader games.

With your e-reader cards you swipe them through a
e-reader(it goes into the cartridge slot on a game
boy):

http://www.toysnjoys.com/gba/e-reader.jpg

Then you are able to play the games on that card. The
card has programming code that the e-reader
understands. I hope you enjoy your games.

To claim your prize and get more information about the

umm i doubt this lady has kids with a tongue like that and a purchase history like that...Only person i know with a tongue like that are women with PMS...My cousin has it and i got bitched today from her...

It sucks that there is no way to fight a bad rating on ebay. They should have "The Peoples' Ebay Court" or something...

Who was that foxy daytime judge.. oh yeah

[Diiz]

Only read the first page but I'm SO sending this tard an email.

[spookyhurst]

Sometimes I wonder if ebaying is even worth it. You get smacked with listing fees, final value fees, and paypal fees. And for every good buyer you get, you get some moron like this woman.

I think you're in the right, the games are clearly e-reader cards. I don't think ebay will find any merit with her complaints.

The funniest question I've got from a bidder: "Please end your auction now, and sell me the item for $5, because I can't afford what you're asking." Um...dude? Do you even know what the point of an auction is? I told them no, of course, and good thing because I ended up getting over $200 for the item.

[visuatrox]

These kinds of Uber-Idiots are actually pretty rare, of the few hundred transactions I have made on Ebay I have only encountered one of them. Some peoples brains are just past the expiration date, and it is funny how they get angry and feel ripped off when they are being the idiot.

[Abalistar]

That's just dumb, if you punished for this (which you shouldn't) I say we form a lynch mob and go to Ebay.

And to the guy who got ripped on on the $225, if it wasn't that long ago you could file a claim of mail fraud against em and also email Paypal about what happened.

A while back I won an auction for Windows XP for 100 bucks, never got the disc, and Paypal ended up getting our money back. Although they did take it away again but that's because our bank got the money back too.

[evilmojo12542]

what a idiot, but then again I delt with a few on ebay none that shaq-fuing stupid though

[gamegeizer]

It is apparent this person did not know what he was bidding on. He was also rude. Howevere as a seller on ebay you will run into people like this every now and then. If your plan on selling on ebay for any length of time you may adapt new ways of dealing with people like this.IS the negative feedback he left you worth it?Sometimes it's easyier to give them a refund and avoid all the aggravation. Nobody likes to threatened with negative feedback.
It's simply a matter of customer service . Being right which you are = negative feedbacks.Remember when you sell on ebay you are the CEO.At any rate don't lose and sleep over this.

[emceelokey]

I didn't lose any sleep over this. WHat's funny is that she demended a refund but didn't offer to send back the items. Stupid ass.

[YoshiFan1]

Do you even know what the point of an auction is? I told them no, of course, and good thing because I ended up getting over $200 for the item.

I hate when people ask to end auctions. Even worse is then you have an auctions with no bids and a buy it now and someone asks if they will bid, you will end the auction early for them. I once had a game up for sale, starting bid $12.99, buy it now $14.99. They asked if they could bid $12.99 if I would end the auction early because they needed the item for a gift. I told them I would not end it early (especially because if someone else bid, maybe it would even go above $14.99). If they really wanted it that badly, they could have paid the $2 more and used buy it now.

[moiety]

I only read the first post, and it's just jaw-dropping. And she continues to say "stupid cards" as if they weren't games. It's like, hello! Research before you bid. I'm sure you won't get in trouble with ebay and definitely don't refund her. She got exactly what she bid for. Amazing, the stupid people in the world...

[LoganDX]

Simply put-- Stupid People shouldn't breed!

Hopefully, she gets hit by a big red truck...

[basketkase543]

I read the first post and I don't know what you people are talking about. The buyer seemed perfectly intelligent and was appropriately angry for misinformation........


:rofl:

[shrike4242]

Stuff like this is why I will only deal with CAGs for eBay auctions.

And in any case, the CAGs tend to have stuff cheaper and are much easier to deal with.

emcee I feel your pain for people being too stupid to be using computers. If she didn't think that she knew what they might be, why not go hit Google and see what you can find out about it? WTF?

Shall we start taking before before she gets special things in her email?

[zionoverfire]

Well I've decided that your one mistake was putting Gameboy and Games in the same title and expecting people to read all the rest of the words. Hopefully that B**** gets what's comming to her.

Ha, I had a similar question in the past as well. Just ignored it. People are dumb.

[Snake2715]

One time I sold a game and stated it was new in the add. The game had been just opened and my wife hated it (harvest moon) so i listed it on ebay and the pictures all showed the actual game case opened with all contents exposed.

When the lady got her game she demanded a refund due to it being used. I explained that it was opena dn I stated it was opened along with pictures of it being opened.

She refused to accept that and fought and fought with me. I explained that when someone goes and buys a "new" car the moment they get home with it first they still refer to it as new because it is new still. And therefore the game I sold had literally been used once and the instructions had no marks . This was as mint as you could get without the wrap.

I ended up having to give her a refund or be exposed to negative feedback... what a joke sometimes.

Well, a game and a car are different. If it's NEW, I expect it to be unopened. Don't say NEW if it's not sealed. Yes, you had pictures...so it was her part that is dumb, but I think NEW and openedare two different things

yeah .. i agree ... when selling "new" means sealed.. and once its opened it becomes used.

[wubb]

New = Sealed and Unopened. That's a no-brainer.

Yea, you were definitely in the wrong. Its been played, its no longer new. You can say nearly-new, mint condition, played once... but not new. I'd even recommend not selling a game as new even if its never been out of its holder but had the shrink wrap removed.. all its going to cause is complaints and neg. feedback.

[Snake2715]

Well,

I considered it new as it is still new. I understand her and your point of view though and that is why I refunded her and took care of it. The point was she bid on an item not even looking at the gallery or reading the definition.

I clearly stated new and opened as well as restated it and left pictures that indicated it.

You're missing the point, once you take it out of its box, put it in your GCN and play it.. its not new. Your description was wrong (if not fraud), whether you wrongly consider it to still be new or not.... its used.

A nice thing to ask yourself is, "Has this game been used?" If so, consider what a used game is. There's no logical reason to even attempt to describe it as new.
Remember kids, "new to you" doesn't necessarily mean "new."

I cannot believe this has been debated this long. If I went to Gamestop and bought Viewtiful Joe and it happened to be their opened (display case) game. The shrinkwrap missing..... They are selling me it for new price and consider it new. it even falls under their new game rules for the sale.

Then When I get home I have a new game as its new to me. Whether it has been out of that case or not I consider the game new. As in my example its a new car at least for a few weeks if not months after you get it. You dont walk over to the neighbors and say hey look at my used car, do you?

Also the game didnt just appear in the case. The case was not built around the disc. The game was put into the case and then shrinkwrapped. so every game is not new then correct?

If everyone here wants to start living by the definition of the english dictionary so be, it but american definitions/interpretations are much different. This isnt even my thread. I was making a comment and showing my story (which I refunded her money etc) to show that not all ebayers read or even look at pictures.... how this happens I have no idea. But thats what happens.

I am not debating (until provoked) whether I was in the wrong or not. It was opened but new. Me touching the sides of the disc for a total of 1 minute dont effect the condition of the game. What effects it is the shrinkwrap and wear. I stated that in the ad. My ad had been taken care of some time ago. the point is people dont read.

[zionoverfire]

Actually that's not true, I often get games like that from them but normally they charge $5 less for them, but maybe that's just Washington, Indiana, Florida, Oregon so basically every Gamestop I've ever bought from. :D

[Snake2715]

Must be because thats exactly how I got my new copy of Viewtiful Joe at a gamestop in Michigan...

[Cornfedwb]

If you go to your local habedashery and purchase a pair of boxers.. and find out some man with overly hairy, sweaty balls wore them for "a total of 1 minute" would you be ok with that since they are new according to you?

Its easy to tell the difference, new is not used, used is having been played, ever, even for 30 seconds. Your girlfriend tried the game out, it was in your console, its been played.. it is not new. I can't believe you're having trouble with this concept.

Nearly new sure.. but not new.

Well that's very shitty because I bought several "new" games from them that were display cases or mint tradeins and in each case the game cost $5 less than a new sealed copy and I've done this for PS1, PS2, and PC games. But I guess they just like screwing with you.

Yes well it is ebay and PLENTY of sellers strech the truth with thier game conditions, like "oh its in great shape only has a few scratches" then you get it and it looks like someone took sand paper to it."

But yes new is new and used is used and this is why before I bid on a "new" item I always make sure it says new and sealed.

No I will say it again. I understand everyones point of view... I corrected the problem and she was extremely happy with the result.

I am also pointing out that would refer to it as a new game when talking to someone about it. Just like a person who buys a new car.

I understand that by definition and technically I should have stated "slightly used",or "like new". I didnt and thats that. i refunded her a large portion and all is well.

Now on to your next topic..... of the boxer shorts....

While in Florida on our honeymoon. My wife and I stepped into Fredricks of Hollywood......

When she ahd found something she liked she asked if she could try it on or how the fitment policy worked.....

The lady helping us showed her the fitting rooms and said have at it... We were a little thrown off... I mean even a shoe store offers those little socks as to not spread any germs or bacteria etc. Nope not at Fredricks... Just hit the fitting room get naked and wear whatever you like. Heck if you get it home and decide you dont like it bring it right back...

We started to realize that a lot of the "garments" had indeed been tried on and some even had stains or hairs left as a bonus... Pretty gross and its just sick to think about it....

[judyjudyjudy]

I have to agree with everyone that when I see something listed as new, I expect it to be factory sealed. I have seen auctions where, like your auction, it was stated new but the picture showed an open item. It gives me the impression that the seller is somewhat dishonest somewhere in the description, and even if I was looking for a like new item, I probably would not bid on that auction.

I purchased a "new" book off half.com, but it was used. A book is a harder case, since they're usually not sealed. I knew it was used because the guy who sold it was telling me how he was hesitant to sell it because it had really helped him out in school. So upon hearing that, I was a little pieved that his description was misleading. There were signs of use in the book too (pencil underlining). The point of this story is that there a people that think like new = new, while a lot people feel there is a significant difference. (That's why new and like new are totally different categories when you list things.) New is like you bought it new from a store, and an opened item doesn't go under this (including the cases of display copies, i believe).

[judyjudyjudy]

Okay, the discussion on used undergarments is kind of nasty...

[Weedy649]

You were wrong. New is sealed like said by everyone else. Sure you only played it once but can you prove it? NO! If its sealed there is little to debate but I have games 3 years old that are mint and i could say its New but its not. If you want to use your car example you prove our point yourself. If you buy a car, as soon as you drive it out of the place it isnt considered New anymore, if you went to trade it in somewhere else are they going to give you as much as you paid for it NEW? No. This is because you have owned it and have used it. Therefore its new to you but its being used by you, as soon as you go to change ownership its used!

The game being put in the case has nothing to do with it being new or not. Shrink wrapped is also different from truely sealed. The fact is that if the game is sealed it proves it is new and never owned by anyone else. You can return pc games sealed but by law you cant(unless defective) return it once its out the package. Why? Its not new anymore and even if you say "Hey i didn't burn it, why cant i return it?" there is no way to prove that you didnt just like there is no way to prove your game hasnt been played for hours upon end.

[tickdude]

Agree with Weedy. New means it is sealed, not opened, and warranty / registration has not kicked in. What I hate in eBay is the following...
"New, but opened to make sure contents were inside."

Huh? WTF? How do I know you didn't just burn the fucker and now you are selling it as new?

[friedram]

Ok- just for everyone's clarification-

New equals = Not opened, never used, factory sealed.

Used equals = if it does not meet all of the above, it is used, period.

Future shop tried to sell me a $150 Thurstmaster when I had a coupon that allowed me to buy the joystick, one game and get a game for free
(back in 1996). The manager tried to give me a re-sealed F-16 (model)- I said hell no, I'm not taking that used one, and took a brand new one off the shelf- he was pissed because he knew he was losing money but there was not crap he could do about it. Basically they were being dishonest trying to give me a used product resealed as new- they were trying to be unethical.

[Snake2715]

Ok once again I have always agreed I was wrong about the listing. Never once have I said I wasnt. This whole thread proves my point about people not reading. What I am saying is the word new can be understood a few different ways.

If you had a helicopter fly the damn car from the factory exit to a dealership they wouldnt give you what you paid for it!! They are in business to make money. Do they sell it for what they paid you for it? Nope. Thats a terribly example.

Plus lots of cars are technically used when you buy them... I mean did you test drive it before you bought it? If so then I would like to have you ask the salesman to give you a few grand off now due to the car being used... he would laugh at you, or be nice about it, but the end answer would be no. Its not going to happen its still a new car...



The game being put in the case has nothing to do with it being new or not. Shrink wrapped is also different from truely sealed.

Shrinkwrapped was my terminolgy for "sealed" uh oh lets go on for 6 pages about how I should have just said sealed instead of shrink wrapped why dont we?

I will restate this for the last time in this thread. My used game and my ebay example had NOTHING to do with the fact that it was NEW or USED. It was the point of someone not reading.... Just like some dumb ass is not going to read this reply of mine, and make another comment on how I was wrong. Lets see who that lucky winner is shall we?

Playing a cd is not going to hurt the cd or the information if you played it for 1 minute or 1 million minutes. It has still been used and I understand that. I did not list it under the category of "NEW" I listed it in the "used" games area. I said in my ad it was new two words later I said it was opened, and explained my reasoning backed by pictures. I did nt state it as new in the title. Big difference.

What I tried to clarify is that some person didnt just play the crap out of it and get their hands all over the thing. Throw it around in their bookshelf and pile of games then try to pass it off as new. I wanted to explain this comparison. That if you opened a "Factory sealed / shrinkwrapped" game and but them both behind your back and picked one they would look,smell hell probably taste the exact same as mine.

[Bune]

so how many times do people have to tell him exactly what he's trying to tell you? damn, lay off the guy. He was wrong, he admitted it, and you're still giving him grief. WTF?

[jimbodan]

You guys are all way too nice to stupid ebayers. When I sell, there are never any refunds for any reason what-so-ever. I give an accurate description of what I'm selling, take a picture and that is that. If you bid on it, then you're stuck with it.

[Snake2715]

Basically they were being dishonest trying to give me a used product resealed as new- they were trying to be unethical.

Ok so new equals Not opened, NEVER USED, factory sealed
Used equals never not opened, and never factory sealed....

on top of that the game was opened before the game was sealed so nothing is new by that definition. You guys all want to get technical. Its like what came first the rooster or the egg?

your example in comparison is not the same as my listing. I never said it was sealed. I never reshrunkwrapped it. I never hid my pictures..

[Snake2715]

Agree with Weedy. New means it is sealed, not opened, and warranty / registration has not kicked in. What I hate in eBay is the following...

The registration and warranty... How the hell would any company know when you bought that game? I mean do you think they would honor an ebay receipt anyway?

As far as burning what if it was a Gamecube game.. This is just getting stupid now.
