    And the seller opened the sealed games, threw away the boxes, and crammed the loose games in a flat rate box.

    All this to make more money by paying less shipping.

    I want to scream.

    WOW!

    Can't believe it. I always say I'll pay the whole shipping so this kind of things doesn't happen.

    Which games was it?

    That's painful. Not sure how I'd react to something like that...

    I seriously think you're cursed, Kev. You have the worst luck.

    Or maybe you just have many many many more transactions than I/we think?

    I'm speechless, that's unbelievable.

    Do you have a link to the auction or seller so we can avoid him/her?

    Time to file a chargeback for not as described.

    If the auction was for brand new/sealed and you got bare carts, then you paid for new and got used.

    Refund time.

    Exactly. The sheer human stupidity never ceases to amazes me.

    I would demand my money back, plus a compensation for making me wasting time.

    The seller must know absolutely nothing about games. No one who plays or collects games would think to do something so incredibly stupid.

    This almost tops my shitty yesterday.

    I hope this guy doesn't mind finding out his games are now worth a hell of a lot less.

    Well, now I know if I ever win an auction for absolutely anything, I better make sure I lay the ground rules for how to treat the product. Seems ridiculous you'd have to actually tell someone that's selling you something brand new and sealed NOT to open it, but if this is possible...

    I'm never going to take that chance again.

    I wonder if the seller was just bitter because of a low ending price?
