I opened the claim and messaged the seller some details. Unfortunately the form for submitting the claim for NAD is pretty limited on how much I can type. In addition to the 2 reprodcution carts, the title stated "CIB Games and CIB Consoles" but 22/50 boxed games were missing manuals, and neither of the systems were CIB. Not only missing styrofoam but the rare SNES Gameboy one had no styrofoam, no manuals/inserts, and no Super Gameboy adapter. Its just a box with a loose SNES thrown in there. Additionally 2 of the boxes are fake. While I could have asked more details about each item in the lot, I think the pictures and the title certainly implied these things would be complete unless otherwise mentioned. It was a very costly lot and the value after discovering these is significantly lower than what I paid so I'm happy to stick him with the return shipping if that's what it takes to get the money back, even if I have to pack 100lbs of stuff myself

(bump) Crossed off some games that sold. Will try to find a better format to post pictures in too because this took way too long. Have probably 50-70 more carts coming up soon if I don't end up returning my most recent lot

Ah crap, I most definitely did lol

Thanks for the replies! I wasn't quite sure since all there was to go on was pictures in the listing. I definitely learned my lesson about not being explicit in asking more details before. I'll make sure not to touch anything else now that it's mostly unpacked in case I have to ship it back out to them again.

I bought a fairly large lot on eBay that was a guy's personal collection. There were pictures of numerous NES and SNES games that he had collected over 35 years, a couple of which were rare/valuable games (Bobble Bobble 2, ChronoTrigger, Earthbound) as well as boxes for game systems. One was a rare SNES/Super Gameboy box. The lot arrived today and a number of the boxed games in the picture were missing manuals, and the console boxes were just boxes filled with the games - no manuals, styrofoam, etc. I didn't explicitly ask what was in each game so feel I'm certainly at fault for that surprise As I dug deeper into the lot though I found Bubble Bobble 2 is a reproduction, with a poorly cut out and stuck on label. The Earthbound label looked suspicious as well - it's blurry and theres some plastic sheet residue on the top edge so this looks like a clear replacement too. Looking inside this seems to be a reproduction as well. I was wondering what people's opinions or experiences are in these situations on eBay. When it comes to claims of Item Not as Described, is there any accounting for assumptions or is the fact that I assumed but did not explictly ask (or it was explicitly stated) whether or not some games were reproductions, or am I unlikely to get any traction?

This was me just over a year ago before I cut my hair. And before I fattened up more WFH through all of COVID

What...haha. The Mario shampoo is something I had bought an ad for like 10 years ago and meant to get bottles for and only just finally got a couple weeks ago. Hoping to find the other 2 styles someday but marion and peach are more abundant. I do have an extra Mario one if somebody is interested in one for their collection Like the cereal box it was funny how stumbling across these reminded me of all the mario stuff I loved as a kid. There was nothing like eating rhe Nintendo cereal while watching Mario Bros/Zelda cartoon on TV (with Friday being special of course because that was when Zelda played! The painted NES was commissioned from a guy on NintendoAge many years ago and is for sure not favorite and most unique part of the collection. It was done with such high quality

SUCH a great game, one of my all time favorites as well! I don't have much for collectible stuff for it though and would be super interested (and jealous!) to see what you have. I have a sealed copy, and a custom-painted NES console that a guy on NintendoAge over 10 years ago painted for me that is one of the most prized items in my collection. It looks like car paint, I wish I was home right now to get a pic

Trying to double my loose NES collection in 2021, which is a bit shy of 300 right now. But that's a pretty lofty goal considering I don't have any rare ones with $100 or more so I'm going to try my best

After a cross country move almost 9 years ago my collection stayed boxed up, and another move a year later had me (regrettably) selling off some of my NES carts and left the NintendoAge community. I've finally just unpacked what's left and found room for most of it to put on display, so I am diving back into collecting! This is what I have for display so far since I only have the one wall and a closet to start but really like how the shelves are working out for me There are about 2 more shelves of games added since I took the pic and some rearranging. I have a huge lot coming next week and looking forward to updating with progress as I fill out the shelves!

Sold everything I had listed. Will update thread again when I have more items ready to sell/trade

It's been probably 7 years since I'd been part of the NintendoAge community under the same name, and I'm glad to see another community set up after finding that the old NA forums are long gone. I'm finally picking up my collection again and am really excited to reconnect with people here!
