Putting SNES NES N64 Gameboy in the title but not PAL? Clearly not missleading lol .. I've seen plenty of dudes here acting like a-holes but you take the crown..
The only thing I would change is adding a definition of qualified in the details...on my ipad 2( old I know) and was not able to read the certificate from the picture( blurry) I assumed buyers knew what it meant since they should know what they are buying but clearly not sometimes( basing this on my own experience selling q's) other than that a great item! I spoke with ebay and they sided with me as images were provided but I want the buyer to be happy at the end of the day so took them back....enough about me! Cool piece!

This isn't the first instance of a seller being vague with qualified games. I'd say that some blame falls on VGA for this.
It would be nice to see VGA add Q directly to VGA scores. A qualified VGA game with a 90+ rating should instead read Q90+
That would make it harder for a seller to blur out that tiny detail without blurring out the entire score. It would give the item a truer score. A qualifed tag is a significant part of the score. A Q90 is in fact a much lower score than a 90. I'd love to see it go even a step further and have them turn the entire label a neon green so it can be seen a mile away.

I would give the seller the benefit of the doubt with a 100 percent feedback( blurry image of the paper not the game graded) but yes vga should have a different color with their qualifying. Half the blame is absolutely on the buyer for not knowing what they buy...tired of bailouts and ignorance.

For the confusion, half is the seller and half VGA. VGA can take steps to make items clearer. The seller aware of this uses it to his advantage.
For buying yeah half is on the buyer but the other half is on the seller. The people upset here are those who were not fooled themselves so why are they upset?
The reason some collectors are upset is that there is an attempt on the seller to mislead the buyer. It doesn't matter if it is effective. As collectors we don't want to cultivate a buyer beware environment. When we say that we are ok with sales that use deceptive sales practices at any level then where does the line end? It is ok just because you weren't fooled? Such an environment feeds off itself. Everyone sees this auction. Some see it and move on. Others see it and see it is acceptable and get the desire to replicate it. The next one is worse and the next one a bit worse until people do stand up and say something. So they take a stand now before they themselves are fooled. The attempted deception is enough for them to get upset. Auctions should be crystal clear. Only a thief takes pride in saying that they made sales based on their attempts to fool buyers.
I don't know, I think the labels are pretty damn clear. Pink = regular sealed, blue - qualified. You can see the blue label in any photo for any listing. That said, agree with everyone else that the listing should be clearer in the title and less misleading. Put qualified or Q in the title and stop being a jackass.
I believe we are both saying the same thing more or less I would give the seller benefit of the doubt because this may be their first q sale. As I said I assumed it within my first q listing a buyer would know what it meant... But we know what assume can make out if people Took the item back and added a definition of q in the description. I understand where you are coming from completely- the integrity of the hobby is important.

That pink and blue is very faint. Here take a look at how comics does it. No mistake about it.
Respectfully, jedisam, I don't think 100% feedback is really anything special...just means you can do what you're supposed to (like ship an item or buy lots of items) and haven't yet done anything bad. It's not really evidence to support someone's character imo.
I can definitely understand why someone would make a misleading auction, but I don't know why they would post about it on NintendoAge and not expect exactly how this thread unfolded.

Don't make me give you decaf coffee or go to tea all i was saying was giving the seller the benefit of the doubt since they had 100 percent feedback across the board. A lot of members gave nice advice on this item which was ignored. The listing has ended and restarted with a bin of 8k with offers but not any definition of qualified nor q next to the 90 which were issues with the listing in the description imo

I honestly never noticed the pick or blue guy on the label before. I agree it's very faint, especially when so many people leave it in the bag that VGA sends it back in.

well....that changed auction went down to BIN with offers without adding any descriptive changes..
