How to Spot Resealed NES Games
09. Aug 2006 at 08:00
 
I've been meaning to write this guide for a while now.  I know a lot of people could benefit from it, I've just been lazy and haven't gotten around to it until now.  I am quite pleased with how it came out.  Let me know what you think.

That's pretty useful - I've read through it all, and will try and remember it! Gave you a vote for 'yes it was useful'. There are a lot of scammers out there.

Very nice Nick.  I was also impressed that you volunteerily included the fact that you scammed people in the past and got caught.  That makes the review even more legitmate in my book.  Good work Wink

Thanks for the guide Smiley I noticed now that one of my games is resealed. Strange that i didnt notice it before actually because i now see that the game have remains of a pricetag inside the seal lol.  No horizontal line either. The game is Robocop 2.

Don't forget the black magic marker trick...  For a box like final fantasy, the white crease could be covered with black magic marker to make it more deceptive.  Often it's easy to tell because the black won't match exactly and it won't be as smooth as it should be, but it may slip past a quick glance...  Smiley

Thanks for the kind words.  I just added information about hang tabs and price stickers.

Michael The Great - I have never heard of that method before using markers to cover the white line.  I added that info to the guide also and credited you at the top.  Thanks.
