The point is, I said the games look great and if you can't take my word for it, then you need to look elsewhere. I'm a little ticked because someone like you needs more than what I already said on "public record" and feels the need to crap on my thread because you're way too anal about buying used games. I mean come on...."pristine"....what am I supposed to say to someone who would ask me a question like that? I have to pick apart every inch of my game and ask myself whether the game is as great as I thought because someone is looking for "pristine" used games. [/quote]
You said that they "dont look like cruddy rentals." Considering that rental condition usually means that the game is covered in scratches, scuffs and stickers there are just too many degrees of condition above and beyond that description for me not to ask for something more specific. And the reason I wanted these details disclosed in a public manner was for my own protection.
Aside from that, you construed my use of the word pristine as insulting, which is still causing me great confusion. There was no sarcasm in that post you overreacted too. I am a professional writer, so I tend to use flashy words and complex sentences to get my points across. It's how I make my living.
Also, I don't take spending $62.50 lightly. Call me cheap, demanding, miserly or anything in between, but when I'm spending over half a bill, I want piece of mind with my product - whether it's a new automobile or some used games off a trading forum.

Sorry, but I little ticked with that first "pristine" statement. I thought it unnecessary just like your post above. And I knew before what I know now...I'm just wasting my time arguing with you about it.[/quote]
See what I wrote above. Your feelings of insultation by my use of the word pristine are utterly bewildering and I am still in a daze over why this thread has gone in this completely unnecessary direction.
This should have been simple. I wanted to give you US currency for four video games. Before doing so, I wanted to make 110% sure that every detail was clear to me. I would expect nothing less of you when dealing with me. Have a question? Please save us both some headache down the road and ask it now. Better late than never. Better safe than sorry.
I'll close by saying that I'm very dissapointed that things have gone this way, as I really wanted to buy your games. This strange aversion to working with your buyers has made this transaction simply impossible to complete though, I'm sorry to say.
