There's nothing misleading about it - the box has the factory seal on it and the game is complete. My pictures show the game opened and I state several times the game is used. Sorry to disappoint you striker
Sealed: is this sealed? does putting an open shrink wrap make a game sealed? Unsealed would be a better description.

Complete: Not really, there's a tonne of propoganda/ads that came w/ that game, all you have are the 2 maps.

Mint: Not really, the manual looks worn.

and I only looked at it for 2 seconds last night.
Let's face it rarebucky, this is what you are hoping for:

some poor shcmuck logs onto eBay, sees the words "Chrono Trigger Sealed Complete", sees a seller with high feedback, sees a picture of what seems to be sealed, sees a low price tag, sees 1 minute left, puts an impulse bid and wins an unsealed chrono trigger.

It's already 100$ which is too expensive. Misrepresenter.

Agreed 100%.. Maybe we can report this auction...hmm??
nah, technically there is nothing wrong, he describes fully within the auction what is what. So "technically" he is in the clear.

Is it an underhanded and dirty selling tactic? I would say absolutely, but then again what do I know. In the end he's making the money.

I am also almost 100% concerned that the sealing is from another game. For sure. It has a lof of dust under it. If it was the original one it would never be there.
I would like either of you, DS or striker, to explain how you can remove a factory seal from one SNES game and put it another so that it looks perfect. If you saw this in person you would know that it is indeed the Chrono Trigger factory seal. There isn't an ounce of wear on the box under where the wrap is. Striker, you sound really upset for no good reason. You are not going to bid on it anyway so what does it matter? Anyone who is bidding knows exactly what they are receiving. As for the price, it will go for well over $100. Other CIB copies have gone for way more recently so this one will as well. It doesn't say it is new or factory sealed anywhere on the listing. So again, sorry to disappoint you guys but it's my auction!
I've experimented a lot with my sealed EVO. If seal is opened from one side then you can pull it off and on without any damage.

Not to mention i can pull it over any game as well same way..

It doesn't bug me that you listed it this way. It'd be nice if you followed your own super-stringent standards sometimes though.
Super Mario RPG and Chrono sealed!!! WOW!!

bwaahha!! Yes i know him! He's a god of shrinkwrapping!!!
^ I reported that asshole. Everyone else should follow. He clogging up all the sealed search results and knowing that if several people report him, ebay will cancel all his auctions and possibly suspend him.
you reported him for cluttering your search results?

come on now. He is selling a sealed N64. It's funny but not even the most retarded retard would not believe it is factory sealed, nor does he claim anywhere that it is. Give the guy a break.
Who knows? noobs can be fooled. He's doing b/s anyway. And should be reported for sure.
