I really really hope you've completed everything you need in your collection. And you will stop buying for fun and overbidding me.

Pretty close...I don't think there are many Genesis or SMS games I still need. Mostly just a few NES and SNES.

So Mr Scrooge gonna retire... Ufff..... finally i can buy something...

lol you should save your time and don't bid against rarebucky. You will just be wasting your time and his money

How can you tell if a SMS is factory sealed?

i can tell. i have 40 of them.

Haha ok. It's just mainly out of curiousity; I don't collect SMS games. There are definite ways to tell with nes, snes, etc, but I always thought sealed SMS didn't have unique features which set them apart from reseals.

There was another one of these that sold awhile back for approx $700 if I recall. Neat item, I'll be watching it for sure, but not too interested in it since it's the Canadian billingual editions of the games (I think these were only sold in Canada too).

Of course, because you will win against pretty much everyone

Let me even be more specific: about SNES Factory Sealed games, MY FRIEND'S MONEY win.

1.4 k for a sealed GB classic system? Feels like people think graded games are worth double.

No one thinks that. Do you see that system selling for $1500? I don't.

The seller tries to imagine it (unless hes just showing of) at least, and no i do not, since there have been the same thing being sold for less than a third.

Factory Sealed Clock Tower ~ PAL PlayStation ~ £199.99!!!

Thought this was optimistic as a Buy It Now price, but if it sells then that's very good news indeed for me!

careful guys, this looks like a reseal.

It has the vertical seam but it has no vent holes?? And the vertical seam doesn't seem to have the extra flap of shrink wrap where it makes a "T" with the other seam.

I've never seen a SNES sealed game w/ no Vent Holes. Sounds like a smooth reseal to me. I really wonder how resealers do this though.

hmm... opinions? i don't know anything about ventholes, but the seal seams look very smooth and straight. Reseals are more harsh usually. i've planned to try my hand on this one since rarebucky outbidded me on last one.

the Zelda LttP looks authentic ! I think its a legit seal but we all need closer and bigger pictures ...

I'd say re-seal. Check out this link and read #10 under Guidelines : http://www.digitpress.com/forum/archive/index.php/t-78708.html
What is said in the article is very true, reproducing the vertical seal on Nintendo games is NOT hard at all. I've had a few GB, N64, and SNES games in the past that had the vertical seal (horizontal for gameboy) that was exactly how it should be (with the overlapping slightly curved intersections etc. etc. ) which I opened due to other suspicions ( slight white line crease, no vent holes, etc. ) and they've turned out to be reseals. Because of this I've changed my collecting habits drastically, and won't buy anything unless I'm completely confident that it's not re-sealed. And that means more than just the vertical seal down the back. Vent holes are extremely difficult to reproduce and reproduce correctly like in a factory. One attempt you'll often see when it comes to reproducing vent holes is that one very large vent hole, anyone know what I'm talkin about?......any game with one of those is definitely a re-seal. Also, what I've found to be the best way to know for sure is to refer to others who have the game sealed and compare. I've compared multiples of sealed games before and often times notice a theme (for example: 5 vent holes in a straight line near the N logo for certain n64 games, or on the left side for certain SNES titles) This is the worst thing about collecting Nintendo it's often difficult to know for sure. Anyways, back to the Zelda lttp, the seal on the bottom / top seems too straight too me. Usually there's a sort of wavy zig zag near the corner before the seal ends. And it looks just weird at the end in one of the pictures. Plus there's no vent holes. And no roller marks that I can see. So ya, I'd say save your money.

definitely a reseal - the seams are not straight, but wavelike. no overlapping at the vertical seam. shrinkwrap doesnt look authentic to me either.

hmm... as for me it's looks TOO good. Yes it does not have hangtab, yes no ventholes. But the seams are so thin and neat. I wonder how is this possible to fake? All reseals i saw had very wicked rubbish and garbage seals.

It's not just SNES games Dark Sol, anything that came from a factory with some shrink wrap should have some ventholes. This includes:

- Final Fantasy 12 CE (PS2)
- Final Fantasy VII Seam Style (PS1)
- Canadian Sealed PS2 games w/ extra shrink wrap for french manual (PS2)

I have all of these games and they ALL have ventholes. I also have that copy of clay fighters that I thought was resealed with overlap seam, rarebucky re-assured me it was legit, and low and behold, it also has ventholes.

Hell, I just bought soul calibur 4 for PS3 the collector's tin right from the store itself, no doubt about authenticity, it is shrink wrapped because it's a tin, and you guessed it, that has vent holes as well.

I don't think you can make a factory sealed game without ventholes for air to escape.

Another sign: There are usually a set of faint white lines where the vertical seam is on SNES games, probably from the roller, and I can't see these on this picture.
