That was part of the reason, apologies. A concern in my Quote is if a sealed game did get opened years later, if it would work or be complete. Even if you broke the seal as soon as you received the game, a greater risk vs an opened game up front. This applies to both Factory and Reseals and even if by a slim chance you do come across an old game Factory Sealed, worthless if not verified. At least with an open game, the seller has an opportunity to test the game leaving out the doubt before a sale. I definitely would not buy any sealed games because of this issue.Lodestar wrote:You've misconstrued my intentions.CRTGAMER posted before somewhere so many times wrote:A "Sealed" game to me is worthless.

I've only made two threads, the other one was to see if a game's seal was authentic, I made the thread hoping to learn something about Genesis seal jobs...and I did. I was also hoping to haggle the guy down if I could identify that the game was re-sealed. I have no intention of buying sealed games otherwise, I was only interested in this seller's Shining Force II (which is not sealed). I play all of the games I buy, so a seal is worthless to me, but for a game like McDonald's Treasure Land Adventure, it's hard to find one in mint condition, so a small premium for a sealed game is not a big deal - so long as it's not exorbitantly expensive. In both threads you've felt the need to be sanctimonious about sealed games...really not necessary.
A reseal does not guarantee condition
Another point is if the seller does state the game is a reseal, who knows what kind of condition or exactly what is inside the case? I prefer to see an item sold with a pic showing the game opened up showing the manual and cart or disc, a visual indication of the condition. Any online sell is a chance, but at least opened up a less of a risk.
