MiamiSlice | 3,089 Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 I just got this Microsoft Pinball Arcade for GBC and I think the seal is a store reseal. What I'm seeing is no ventholes, a big hole on the front, what looks like a speck trapped on the back, and the seams are messy. Here's the pics: https://imgur.com/a/23rNQBg Any help is appreciated!

RpgCollector | 900 Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 Pretty sure it is a reseal. All the ones I have seen are H-seam https://www.ebay.com/itm/185537168353?epid=3290&hash=item2b32e083e1:g:7IUAAOSwWApi-BY2&amdata=enc%3AAQAHAAAAsMxNzDFV4NDdv27JVnmgr1AeY0SuGBbDvIAsl7N%2Fn10b9dtLoxdZlqN%2BHgTHGJC0DlyDgEmSYWddcUpJrPNQS4IwjrKg2ikfWTgsW4MmiAZK4oUZv6lQChZDZJRfro3Y6iTeq0SFpu4xf%2BoK8HMuwCAebFpLikKthHQ6cfGD%2FO6Mce0nbo2lqStAYCFrD7hXp8IhaKZEsmHBNypEZUpVsU024H23Fzj%2FRgN6V%2BvwRfw7|tkp%3ABk9SR7KL7tHmYA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiamiSlice | 3,089 Posted September 14, 2022 Author Share Posted September 14, 2022 I reached out to the eBay seller about returning it and they threatened me with a 15% restocking fee. I went through the INAD return process on eBay and got a return label right away. Should I be worried or does this mean that eBay will give me the full refund? Regardless I am putting this seller on blast: steer clear of "585collectiblesandtech." Clearly their user description on eBay does not match their behavior.

To be fair, this seller has the 15% restock fee part in the description. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty of pics in the listing, and he says verbatim in his description: Pinball Arcade Microsoft Nintendo Gameboy Color GBC. No h seam May be a reseal Melted plastic (pictured) See pictures for condition **15% restock fee What were you expecting? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiamiSlice | 3,089 Posted September 15, 2022 Author Share Posted September 15, 2022 I didn’t read the description, I got excited thinking it was a brand new copy. The issues were not obvious in the pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would never do this as a seller and I expect better of others. I will be pursuing a full refund. It's possible the seller will try to get their 15% restock fee, but it's likely that would come out of eBay's pocket, not mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I’d be pretty upset if I was the seller and the description clearly stated an accurate description. id be very curious how this turns out.

I could see if he listed it at way below market and hurriedly clicking on your phone, but judging from the other one still up (that has an H-seam) it seems to have been market priced? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other one has significant crushing and judging by the fact that it hasn’t sold, it is not “market priced.” We can sit here and debate the past, like how if the seller had not listed it incorrectly then this wouldn’t have happened, but stuff happens! I will certainly try to be more careful in the future. We live and learn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure, but so far everyone I have talked to says it's supposed to have an h-seam, and the other example I've seen had one. Also the other Microsoft games for GBC had h-seams too.
