FND Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 By this definition they could put the items in a cardboard box tape it shut and state "Sealed Boxed Un-Opened" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickelPlate Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 That's funny. Looks like the guy used his foodsaver or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boxpressed Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Too bad his last name isn't Factory. Might be worth a name change. Can't imagine that eBay would let this go on if someone raises a stink about it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cebus Capucinis Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Stuff like this is exactly why I don't collect 'sealed' -- of course, this being a very egregious example of overboard, but there's really not a 100% surefire way of proving that a seal on a boxed game, for example, is genuine, in my opinion. If the shrinkwrapper is subtle about it, it may be very difficult to tell the difference between original wrap and re-shrink. Now, sometimes it is incredibly easy, as in this case, and generally it's pretty easy to tell on a boxed game, but I just always have that voice in the back of my head saying that I can't be 100% sure..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CorTat-G Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 If it's sealed, how do they know it includes a manual? Good Point. And if it's "Sealed" How can they say it's "Guaranteed to work normally"? I MEAN LOOK AT IT!! of course that's just me.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddhead Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 In the description, he says that it was "professionally sealed for a collection", so I guess he's not lieing- just being very disingenuous. I hate to sound naive, but are there people that actually do this? (in regards to "re-sealing" systems/controllers/ac and tv adapters for collection pieces) In any case, that is DEFINITELY the best deal on a "sealed w/o box" lot I've seen in a long, long time!! What the hell is wrong with people? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+save2600 Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 I hear Seal and Heidi are finally going their separate ways. Always thought they made an incredibly strange pair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
