So I sold an unopened copy of Diablo 1 to a local shop that buys games...

[TurtleCrusher]

And I went to shop there today (a week and a half after selling it to them) and its sitting on the shelf with the rest of the PC games... OPENED! They took off the seal and everything.

Why pay me $8 for an unopened PC game if you're going to OPEN THE PACKAGE!

 

[Maleficus]

I would have paid you more than 8 dollars for that.

Maybe it's policy to check to make certain the product is in the box? It might be possible for someone to fake the cellophane wrap and put something worthless in the box. It seem like they would have opened it in your presence if that were the case though.

You could have gotten at least 20 bucks for it on Ebay.

Probably. Some geek somewhere would think that's cool and bid it up.

Shrink wrap machines are like $500...

I just looked it up. There were three unopened copies sold - one for 19.99, 27.99, and 39.99.

They played it dude.

 

[TurtleCrusher]

I probably should have put in on AT now that I think about it.

Thanks for making me feel bad!

It wasn't typical cheap shrink wrap like we have today. It was pressed plastic that was lightly glued and folded.

Wait... you mean you had this?

They released it on the cheap after the big box version was out for a while. It isn't very rare.

I have a copy of it lying around somewhere. It is opened though.

 

[CraKaJaX]

I have Diablo 1 and Hellfire in mint condition... is that vintage shit on ebay now?

 

[BabaBooey]

I have I + II and the level editor disc...somewhere around here...

 

[DaveSimmons]

Jewel case version? Big deal. The real version was in a big box with manual.

That copy went for $34.

 

[shortylickens]

They stole and used the key.
They gonna sell it "used" and when the next owner cant run it they'll say "too bad".

FUCKERS!

 

[olds]

I am curious how the OP knows it's the same disc he sold them?

No, just the Jewel case version. Still worth something SEALED!

It is a shop that has an incredibly small PC games collection (1ft by 9" space) and things rarely sell there. My old Bioshock and Crysis that I sold back a year and a half ago are STILL there.

wow how are they still in business?

 

[WT]

What is this 'Diablo' game you speak of ??








I kid, I kid .... I preferred Dungeon Siege actually, but I'm weird like that

They sell a bunch of used movies and video games. Everything from retro to current. It's like going to amazon.com for video games and movies. Most things are actually priced incredibly well.

For instance, I bought Borat, Minority Report, a couple 80's classics that my wife wanted on DVD and a CD I couldn't torrent for $4.50. Better than amazon really.

I also bought a component cable for my Wii for $6. A couple more bucks than amazon, way more convenient!

Why? A couple years ago, I got a new sealed one from Ebay for $5 shipped. All you need is a CPU w/ HW virtualization, and XP mode or Virtualbox, and it's good to go. Diablo's Bnet is still full of assholes w/ trainers, though.
