toughacton Posted July 18, 2003 Share Posted July 18, 2003 Ok a while back I bought a new/sealed Bill and TEd's game. Yes i know. Not one of the lynx's better titles, but I'm a collector and i didnt have it yet. However I was quite miffed to find that while the box was new and sealed as stated in the ebay auction. There was no game inside when i opened it up! I have bought several "new" lynx games off ebay and this one looked no different. I was actually forced to shell out more money for another Bill and Ted's game. Granted i have an extra poster which i proudly hang on my wall, but still... I was just wondering if anyone else has had this horrible kind of experience. (I'm 99% sure it wasn't a rip off and repack. for one all the instructions etc. were in the box and two it was a package deal from a company and i got like 9 other games that were just fine from them) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davidcalgary29 Posted July 18, 2003 Share Posted July 18, 2003 If it truly is "shady business", then the seller should be condemned. I have myself, however, deliberately bid (and won) on an eBay auction for empty Lynx boxes so that I could find new homes for my loose carts. As empty Lynx boxes are relatively rare to find, I'd say that an auction that clearly states that only the boxes are to be sold is legit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toughacton Posted July 19, 2003 Author Share Posted July 19, 2003 Well, Its been a while so i cant check the listing but im positive that all 10 games were supposed to be new. when i got it, there were 9 other games brand new that came with it at the same time, all were factory sealed and had games inside. except the one, and this is the only time its happened like that. I wonder if it actually was a goof up in the originial packing. If someone HAD swiped the cart out and replaced it with new plastic, they did a damn good job. Hmmm, i suppose i could try selling the box and everything. it might actually go for more than the complete game... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eric_ruck Posted July 19, 2003 Share Posted July 19, 2003 Uh oh, unique packaging error, maybe you should sell it on eBay as such! Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
