That sucks. As a possible defense though... maybe he's never even played it and got it in another trade/auction. Some people have literally hundreds of unplayed games on their shelves that they have picked up in great deals and simply because they can't resist buying them... it's easy to get carried away collecting games even when you don't play most of them.
Personally, years ago I sold a copy of War of the Ring that I had acquired in a Math Trade. I even had it all out and looked through it a bit (not thoroughly enough I guess)... then decided it wouldn't get played often enough at the time.. so sold it later. When the new buyer contacted me it turns out there was a single piece missing. I said I'm really sorry but I'd never played it so I didn't realize the piece wasn't there. The game was pristine and obviously never played by whomever I got it from as well... so my thoughts are that the piece was missing since new. He simply contacted the publisher and they sent him the missing piece.. all ended well. I know that's probably different in your case as several pieces are missing, but if you can't get a satisfactory resolution... try the geek and see if others may have spare parts for trade/sale and also contact the publisher (if the game is still being made) to see if they may be able to help out for a small fee. Many have outstanding customer service and will be happy to help out. On Mar 31, 11:47 am, ShadowHeart <[email protected]> wrote: > I am looking for someone to explain something to me.
