Californication | 1,477 Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 This variant is not easy to come by. It arrived today and despite being listed as in Very Good condition, the manual has issues which I expected from the photos, but the disc is completly covered in scratches, which I didn't expect. The disc is probably $15 - $30 to replace. I already paid $230 after tax should I return it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeevan | 8,910 Events Helper · Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 wow 230? I dont know what the variant is but damn.......Maybe ask for partial refund if the disc wasn't pictured? enough to buy a disc. Can it be resurfaced and saved?

acromite53 | 337 Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Scratches on the bottom of the disc? Get it resurfaced. If you want, you could get him to refund you the cost of a resurfacing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Californication | 1,477 Posted January 17, 2020 Author Share Posted January 17, 2020 (edited) The final price was $200 and shipping was $8 then like $18 in taxes. I guess I kinda feel like I over paid, so to have to spend more for a new disc is kind of irritating. I halfway think the disc was already badly resurfaced .

SuperJimtendo | 1,121 Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 If you can see light through the top layer it's toast and resurfacing won't do a thing. Probs get refunded the cost of a new disc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Californication | 1,477 Posted January 17, 2020 Author Share Posted January 17, 2020 Well, I talked to the seller. He offered me $40 back and I accepted $35. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Californication | 1,477 Posted January 17, 2020 Author Share Posted January 17, 2020 It's because its a black label jewel case. I am assuming they sold most of their black labels as long boxes and before they qualified for the greatest hit green labels, they only had a small amount go out as jewel black labels.

Quest4Nes | 376 Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 (edited) can you feel the scratches? If you resurface it, clean it off with a wet paper towel first then dry. That adds some surface scratch but the resurfacer will clean that up fine. I have way more success when I clean my discs first before I resurface them. The game store I used to work at has the same machine as me, but they dont use it properly for best results. They have no clue what they were doing. The machine I have heats them up pretty warm and any residue or debris on the disc will make the resurfacing not as successful and look to where you can tell it was resurfaced. If you can already feel all the scratches raking your finger across then thats bad and probably wont repair adequately.
