Why do people have to be stupid?

So I got the Xenophobe cartridge in the mail today. Turns out it's not NTSC, but another PAL one. Why can't people test these things out or have ANY knowledge of what they're selling before they list stuff on eBay? It was listed as tested and working. Turns out on my old TV to be tested, working, and rolling. So I sent the guy a message, we'll have to wait and see if he responds. WHY CAN'T I GET AN NTSC XENOPHOBE?! Also, my stupid Celery game isn't working again. I tried to put code in to make it randomly decide whether it should ricochet off the edges or not. I can't get that to work either. I downloaded the Xenophobe off AtariAge's 2600 database just to see if my TV has an issue with the NTSC version. Nope. It's just that they're all PAL. Perhaps if Atari wasn't dumb enough to put the dumb FBI message on all copies of the game, people would actually question whether it was NTSC or not.

Heard back from him, he said he'd refund me, which he hasn't done yet, and told me just to keep the game. Why would I? I'm sending it back to him and I'll just pay shipping.

Should have purchased one from the guy in Venezuela like I suggested. It's new in the box, probably cost less than what you paid for loose and you know it's NTSC. ;)
