Bait and Switch?
I suspect I have been the unfortunate recipiant of two incidents recently involving a bait and switch. Ordered a Smash bros cart for 20$ + shipping -> http://www.ebay.com/itm/180893905478?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649#ht_500wt_1416
and a mario party 2 NFR for 30$ + shipping -> http://www.ebay.com/itm/200766515218?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649#ht_512wt_1140
PS: I messaged the guy with the MP2 and asked if the one in the pic was his copy and he said yes.
I recently opened cases against both parties asking for refunds from both, is there anything else i can do on ebay or is it just a waiting game now? And what do you guys think on these sellers; honest mistake or bait and switch? If its the later i want to recomened these sellers for the hall of shame.
Any coincidence they are both from CALI?

No message from Mr. Mario Party 2 yet.
Can i recommend these guys for the hall of shame?
Glad you got your money back for smash bros, hope you get it back for MP2 too!
I am sorry to hear you are disappointed, but I did not trick you into buying an item or as you said, "bait and trick." I will be getting in contact with ebay. The game is in working condition as stated and is in "ACCEPTABLE" condition, also stated in the auction. Here is the definition of acceptable according to ebay. "Acceptable: An item with obvious and significant wear but is still operational. May have tears or holes in VHS/DVD box. The video game instructions and box may not be included. See the seller?s listing for full details and description of any imperfections." (eBay) I also stated in the auction that there were some marks on the game.

you will win , but this one may have you send back the cart first?
i had to send back a few items before and its not fun , but ebay did cover the shipping and postage fees
Hows the tracking from CAN to the US ?
im in cali , let me go to the sellers house for you and start a small brush fire on his porch with a note stating
NOT FOR RESALE - YOUR PORCH IS ON FIRE
Both sellers are from cali so i find it very wierd :S and bought in the same week.
Ill take u up on the porch fire offer if he persists
i would just wait it out now
you will win for sure hands down without a doubt
just keep drilling about how you wanted the NFR copy

Get a refund quick, they'll try to push you out of the 30 day limit or whatever it is to file a claim if you need to.
What is the 30 day thing? :S What can i do to escilate it to get it sooner?
Seller's message:
"I did not sell you a faulty item. I suggest in the future you read the description. Do you judge a book by its cover?? Do you sign a contract without reading the terms and conditions? The game works and the condition of the game is "as described" in the auction. The auction clearly states the condition of the game. I'm sorry to hear you are disappointed, but my auction states no refunds. And since the item you purchased was clearly described in the auction I can not refund your money. I guess we let ebay handle it from here. And the elaborate explanation is ebay's own words, they state them in depth for times like these. "
Seller's message:
"Also please do not describe the game as if the condition is in horrible condition. The game looks acceptable, as described in the auction. To call the condition of the game worse than acceptable is laughable. Both you and I know the game is in acceptable condition. "
Seller's message:
"Can you explain why you do not read?"
Then my reply:
Your message to the seller:
"IS THE GAME IN YOUR AD THE ONE YOU SENT, YES OR NO? Since I received one not as pictured."
Also, if you guys search mario party 2 nfr in google, its the first picture which pops up.
Dear jkenned5,
Its called marketing Mrs. Kennedy. Or "a foot in the door technique." The details are the selling points, pictures/ poster are what attract the viewers eyes. You should never buy something off of a picture. I am not a fraud you just don't no marketing. No scam, I clearly listed the item accurately and you over payed. Most Mario Party 2 games do not sell for 30 dollars lol. 20 something dollars is about average. You should realize your anxiousness to have a game caused you to over pay. And now your mad because you know you over paid. However at this point we both got what we wanted.

He'll get his.
Did he EVER comment on the NFR part?
Yeah, gotta love ebay. Bought a bootleg fami cart off a crooked vendor a month back and got told it's either pay return shipping on a refund or eat shit.
