Hey! I've gotten lately into collecting sealed video games and it's been about a year now since I started buying them.
Coming across a lot of different sealed variants I tried to stick to only video games that had the cellophane with the PS seal strip logo on as I thought that would be something re-sellers won't be copying or have the means to copy.
But recently I came across some videos in YouTube that show that re-sellers can copy and re-seal using the seal strip as well not just throw on a cellophane.
So is this the end of collecting sealed video games? It makes me so much more hesitant to spend 200 on a sealed PS1 game knowing that there might be a chance the game has been re-sealed and the contents inside were used..
Here's two YouTube videos going in detail of the sealed fakes.
This one for Nintendo.
And this one for a PS3 Game. Video is in German but even though I can't understand a thing I believe it's a comparison between a sealed fake RDR Game and an original copy. Maybe @hatredhorror con confirm
What are your thoughts on this matter?
It's so sad that video game industry gets hit by all these scammers and scalpers lately..
