Re: [SWCollect] Talk about boneheads...
I should still have the original article about them. For awhile they were getting a bunch of older software from another source, some of it reshrinked by said source. (They have never done reshrinks of their own.) At first they were selling without a whole lot of understanding of the collector's market, so they got some disappointed buyers with the rewraps. Nowadays they are pretty good at opening it if they aren't sure, and they've even opened a few that turned out to have been originals. - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, May 07, 2004 10:02 PM Subject: Re: [SWCollect] Talk about boneheads...

Re: [SWCollect] Talk about boneheads...
I've purchased a few items from them in the past. While the items were generally fairly nice, the service was pretty poor. Minimal communication, no answer to questions, high shipping cost. I stay away from their auctions unless it's something I really want. Can't say I'm too fond of the fact they are auctioning off single diskettes (without the right sleeves, at that) with a $24.99 starting bid in some cases.

Re: [SWCollect] Talk about boneheads...
I just bought Archon from them. Email communication was good and the game arrived in time. However, I had also bought Neuromancer and they said there was a problem with the buy it now items and the games (they had multiple copies) were actually already sold but Ebay automatically relisted them. Maybe true, maybe not.
