Would you guys mind giving me your opinion on this PDS...

Post by Hagane Hiryu »

...eBay listing?

http://cgi.ebay.com/Panzer-Dragoon-Saga ... 4aa2376f58

Those of you who have a lot of experience with eBay,would you me letting me know in your opinion how risky you think this deal is? He says it was factory sealed when he bought it and there are no pictures so I'm thinking if its legit I can probably get a good deal on it. However there are no pictures to verify its condition and this his the sellers first sale in 3 years. And its suspicious to me that someone would buy a factory sealed PDS to play it.

I asked him if he has any pictures but he hasn't replied. I just want some professional advice. Thank you for the help.

You made the right call in sending him a message asking for pictures or something to see what quality the item is in. I don't know what else you could really do to confirm the type of condition that the game is in; hopefully you get a response.

Somebody that says four "for"... I'd be skeptical, especially without pictures.

I wouldn't gamble on an expensive game with a stock picture from a low feedback person. I have gambled a few times on rare games with ebay noobs and gotten a good price because of it, but they had actual pictures at least.

For an investment this large, I would certainly want to see what I was purchasing. I'd also wonder why a product in such pristine condition is only labeled under "Good" in the product description.

'Good' is the default I believe. That's another sign of laziness to go along with not taking pictures of the game.

Oh, I wasn't aware of that. I'm just generally wary of products with lower values in the condition section, I feel like it creates a loophole in the description.

As others have said stock photos are never good. Hopefully, the seller replies back because it sounds good on description but an actual photo needs to be there especially with a rare game as expensive as Panzer Dragoon Saga goes for. :)

I'd hold off. I see this game for like 50 cents all over the place.
