voltron Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Ok so Dryfter got me thinking about people who would seal games just to scam people. I seen some of the low end sealers on ebay, but since I have one of those at work that we use to seal sterilization bags its easy to tell if that machine was used bc you dont get that air tit effect. But now when I see a guy who sell many many sealed games I have to wonder if they just got a professinal grade sealer and ismsealing games. Are there pictures of how mattel sealed games look. or any other way of identifying sealed fakies? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder how many people on ebay are selling sealed fakies. I wonder now about Caracas and their endless supply of sealed games. I ordered one game from them to see what i get butmit has yet to arrive. So i wonder how many sealed gamesmare legit and how many of the boxes may be reproduction.

bojay1997 Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Those games from Venezuela are 100% legit. They are identical in every way to the sealed Intellivision games I have from many other reputable sources and a couple I bought off the shelf in the late 80s. People who are resealing stuff are not wasting their time on common classic games, they are doing it on NES and SNES stuff worth hundreds or thousands of dollars.

I've ordered tons from him, all good The only draw back is the wait. but im not sure if it is their fault since it seems to spend one month in USA customs.
