The Ticking Time-Out: psychoticragemonkey

[Slacker Magician]

Me too, but since most of my games were used off eBay I didn't really have a say in the matter.

I always look for pictures or read further down to see if they mention condition.

I have to have my games in alphabetical order and all aligned up well but that's not really OCD.

It's common sense .

Yeah well I bought Assassin's Creed II in "mint condition" and when it arrived wrapped in just a bin bag the case was smashed and I ripped the cover and the plastic trying to get into the bloody package.

Actually there was a thread on OCD traits you have on another forum and somebody pointed out how it's not OCD unless it severely impacted on your life.

Now the guy who pointed this out, I wonder did he have it himself.

No sense of money? It really kills me when discs are super scratched, as if putting it back in the case takes any kind of effort.

No kidding Shar, It pisses me off to no end seeing such ignorance, they think they are magic or something.

Yeah there was about a whole roll of tape around the bag. So I had to rip it to shreds to get it off the case. I was less than satisfied with the condition of it once I got into it.

I hope you got your money back.

You thumb him down?

I rarely buy off eBay. Depends on how hard it is to find the game/how desperate I am for it.

I have this bizarre drive to organize my books and games by the color on the spine. I keep series together, but after that it's a matter of dark vs. light colors, and then some kind of gradient through the rainbow. It's ridiculous and frustrating for anyone browsing my shelves, but I know exactly where everything is.

What gets me is when the people at Gamestop act like I'm being unreasonable for asking to see the disc. Because they've never sold me damaged product before, or anything

First time I bought a game from eBay, the disc ended up being defective.

That sounds like it would look great.

Anyone ever buy anything from gamestop online? How was the experience and so on?

You have an odd sorting order. I buy from eBay frequently, never had any trouble with Japanese sellers. They almost asked me to leave once. I wouldn't stop asking why a 'new' game was in one of their shitty replacement cases. Don't remember what game, I was planning on buying it until I saw there was no original case.

Sprung would know.

I complained and he offered me something like 25% off another game from him. Like I'd buy from him again though...
