Where the hell did you find that? I will tell you though you are mistaken and that is a different person. This Kenjikazama's real name is Kenji and he lives in CA.

Indeed but that copy is in bad shape. One side is completely crushed.

not disagreeing with you here. But sometimes condition can take a back seat if it's a hard to find title.

I don't think it's THAT BAD crushing btw. It's still in very good shape.

I agree with you as well. If you're looking for a 10/10 then this obviously isn't it, but maybe if you're willing to give in a little and accept the fact it isn't perfect, then it might work. Looking at his prior ebay auctions, I think rarebucky is just too used to having all 10/10 perfect mint copies of everything ( j/k man

).

LOL! I actually do need this game but if I am going to spend $500+ I want a nice copy. I know most collectors feel the same. The crushing is very bad, btw. I think if you were to look at a side picture you would see it.

Do you have a side picture?

No...but I can see it's pushed out quite a bit.

You've seen my Shining Force 2 also crushed. But it's not that bad actually. And this Harvest Moon is much better then my shining force.

Funny thing about this is that I HAD that "factory sealed" FF2 in my hands last week. It did not have a hang-tab then lol he must've just put one on!!!!

This piece o' shit really needs to be stopped.

did u take any pictures MCDJ??

I want to see what this guys fakes looks like

And I'm interested in seeing how he gets the vertical seam part on the back...

Vertical seams can be faked. I don't know how they do it but it is possible as we have all seen a few.

I didn't take pictures of it.

Basically, he agreed to refund my money if I didn't open it. I wasn't going to open it, but I thought to myself "even though everyone is saying he's a fraud, what if this copy is a the real thing" because he kept insisting that it was real and was replying to all my emails.

So I did go through and open it up (but he doesn't know this), and at first glance, it does look real. It had a 'vertical seam' of sorts on the back but it looked different then how it should have it. I also noticed that, on true factory sealed SNES games the vertical seam is a straight or even crooked line that (no matter how thin or thick) you can trace down...the fake FF2 had little sections in the seam where the straight line would branch off into two smaller lines (causing a small hole) and then come back together.

The shrinkwrap also look waaaaay too tight and perfect to be sealed from 1991 when FF2 came out. Usually on the corners of truly sealed SNES games, the plastic looks "bunched up" and a bit crinkled - the fake FF2 he sent me looked completely smooth and too perfect.

and let's not forget there were no vent holes to be found.

^^^ what a fraud. He's getting a little more crafty with his descriptions too. With the FFIII, he claimed it "...has a vertical seam in the back of the box that proves that it hasn't been opened or touched." With the FFII, he makes no such claim, only that it "...has a hang tag and verticle seam".

Heh, I didn't know you actually opened it up. Did you find used stuff inside? What did he say when he got it back?

Hey, no, I didn't tear off the plastic off the FF2 box and look inside of that..I just opened the package that contained the fake FF2. He said to me "if you think my game is fake because everyone is calling me a fraud, then send the package back unopened and I'll send all your money back including shipping."

But curiosity got the best of me, and I had to see what this guys' fakes looked like. I also didn't want to run the risk of turning down a truly factory sealed FF2 since those are near-impossible to find these days in any condition.

It's funny how this guy is very quick to offer up a refund. He did the same with me, but ultimately he had no money left in his paypal account. Only someone who is good at scamming would offer up a refund so quickly, because it is being done privately so he figures he can just keep passing it on to someone else. You can't see his scamming record on ebay.

I bet a resealer would find this forum useful

Btw what is this:

I'm always suspicious of any games that come shrinkwrapped, as you never can quite tell if they are legit or not. Especially Master System and Mega Drive games - I prefer blister packs

That gorilla guy is insane! That's all I have to say. Take a look at how much he has been paying for some GB games.

Yes, no thanks to Dark Sol

That really shouldn't have gone for more than $100 but it's the only game I need to complete my PS collection and was also my favorite game growing up.
