Nes Freak | 586 Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 (edited) so i finally got panic restaurant. its been allusive these past months. so a few weeks ago i had been watching ebay like a hawk checking probably 3 times a day no joke. the price just kept climbing every new game posted 950 1000 1100 1200 etc. but one showed for 500 in literally 10 minutes already 25 views and a few watchers i took a quick look at the pics for condition and just bought it. every thing went great the seller thanked me and said they would ship the next day. i thanked him and said please pack in a box and do full insurance. i get a message back asking what is full insurance. that's when i realized this guy might be a flake (especially with 0 feedback but the account has existed for a year). i was nice and explained it he thanked me. guess what a few days no tracking or item has been shipped notification. i ask again and a day later they said it will ship the next day. i wait over the week end still nothing. i ask again no response. i wait a few more days and ask one more time. at this point i had reverse searched the picture in the listing and found they were stock pictures used from another listing. so i said that i knew he used fake images and if he was pulling my leg to just refund me. still nothing. i wait till the next weekend and then i open a case and report the listing and seller and sent one more message this time a not so nice one. so yeah it could have been a really great deal if he had actually sent the game. what a tease and a let down. fortunately a user finally came forward here and sold me the cart for 1k yeah i paid what its going for but heck no taxes and i figured unless one showed up on ebay for 875 it wouldn't make a big difference with taxes and shipping. im just glad i finally got this cart and in outstanding shape too. that the last 4 digit cart on my list (other than stadium events and nwc) yeah im not getting those no way lol.

fcgamer | 5,057 Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 Congrats on the find! It definitely sucks when you lose out on a "deal" as with the first guy, but at the end of the day, it feels really great being able to get an item like this of high calibre, even if it is at the going rate. Panic Restaurant is a great game, I really enjoy it and usually play through it a couple times a year. 1 Link to comment https://www.videogamesage.com/forums/topic/8335-i-almost-had-it-and-then-i-got-it/#findComment-209196 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, congrats on picking up Panic. I'm down to seven CIB's for a full set myself, and man is it getting hard to get any sort of a decent deal on those high figure games, so I definitely feel your pain...

Nes Freak | 586 Posted July 11, 2021 Author Share Posted July 11, 2021 (edited) and just a quick update. i did get my money back in full from that crappy seller. im not sure what they were thinking. the only thing i can figure out is they needed a quick buck and when the money was sent the probably closed their bank account and walked with it cause later another bad feedback came in for some one that bought flintstones surprise on dinosaur peak for 800. their feedback left was the same issue as mine. you can read the feedback here if you want. https://www.ebay.com/fdbk/feedback_profile/fordtr_56?filter=feedback_page:All&_trksid=p2545226.m2531.l4585 Edited July 11, 2021 by Nes Freak Link to comment https://www.videogamesage.com/forums/topic/8335-i-almost-had-it-and-then-i-got-it/#findComment-209517 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoctorEncore | 3,691 Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 Congrats dude. Sorry you had to go through the scam first, but unfortunately that seems to be a bigger issue every day. 1 Link to comment https://www.videogamesage.com/forums/topic/8335-i-almost-had-it-and-then-i-got-it/#findComment-209524 Share on other sites More sharing options...
