Not really sure what i can do about this but here is my situation. I ordered a PS2 on ebay last week and according the description it was a new unit. So I bid on it and eventually won it. I paid for it and got the unit 2 days ago. When I opened the package i noticed that the PS2 was not "New" like indicated. The box's seal had been broken and I could tell the unit was removed. I figured it was no big deal as long as everything else was intact. However, when I pulled the PS2 out of the box, the "Warranty Void if Seal Removed" sticker was tampered with. So I promptly wrote to the guy I bought it from, telling him that this PS2 was not in "New" condition because the seal was broken. He also nowhere in the auction description stated that it was. He wrote back saying that he didn't know what I was talking about and that I was in New condition. Apparently he purchased it from someone on egay and he just tested it and resold it (whether i believe that or not i don't know). now the unit was operational but that isn't exactly the point because for a little more money i could have bought a brand new unit. after recieving his email i opened it up to see exactly what had been done to it that the seal was removed. i noticed that it was missing half the screws that it came with and the metal piece that covers the motherboard looks like some tried to pry it off with a crowbar. it was all bent out of shape and it's no wonder half the screws were missing because one would've had a hard time getting them in the condition that this thing was in. I wrote him an email later explaining all of this and asking for either a replacement unit with the seal intact or a refund of what i paid and he could have the damaged unit back. that was 2 days ago. he has not written back since. i'm very pissed and not sure what to do. anyone have any advice for me
