bookbraker Posted January 8, 2021 Report Share Posted January 8, 2021 Since I didn't get a stimulus check I started selling off my kids video game stuff. Next up is their cell phones. They don't need them. It's not like they are in the house 24/7... we live in PA after all. Sold my daughters nintendo 3ds which was never used and 5 games with it. Here is the message I got after the people had it for a week. They paid with the buy it now button for 195. They got the console, charger, case, and 5 games. Pokemon, mario, batman 1 and 2 along with princess peach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bookbraker Posted January 8, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2021 E bay is owned by a bill gates kind of guy so my guess is I will have to refund them and they keep everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My kids would go to game stop and buy some used games. It could be from there. I tested it and it worked. I searched the game on e bay. It goes for 15 bucks or so.

bookbraker Posted January 8, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2021 They try and threaten you to see if you'll bite. A lot of sellers probably give them money back. Not gonna happen here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeman Posted January 8, 2021 Report Share Posted January 8, 2021 So they are only claiming 1 cartridge is fake, one that's worth approx $15? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ajt Posted January 8, 2021 Report Share Posted January 8, 2021 Might not be a scammer. 195 for a DS and 5 games is pretty expensive unless there are some rare games. Bootleg DS games are not uncommon and they can look almost identical. So if it was bought used, it could possibly be fake. Do you have any pics of the cart? I don’t think the guy would pay 195 unless he is a collector and can probably spot the difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bookbraker Posted January 9, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2021 AJT...It is a 3ds XL. Used very little. I auctioned off my son's with 3 games in fair condition it went for $135. My daughters also has mario kart and a few other pre loaded to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajt Posted January 9, 2021 Report Share Posted January 9, 2021 Ah, okay a 3ds XL would certainly go for more than a regular DS. I sold a shit ton of games from NES to PS2 about 10 years ago, and authentic Pokemon games usually appreciate in value, but also has lots of bootlegs. Kinda hard to tell from the pic, but this video shows some of the differences. And authentic versions of the game can sell for around $100 https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_nkw=pokemon+platinum+authentic&_sacat=0&rt=nc&LH_Sold=1&LH_Complete=1 The buyer should've contacted you before buying if they weren't sure, certainly not your fault or something you would know. I wouldn't assume they are trying to scam you though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
