what if the person who buys it and opens it up finds pieces missing because that was pulled by QC for known missing pieces in that batch. which is how it ended up at that store rather than someone fucking up their eBay star points knowing its a known bad batch
or that the person just resealed it because they have one of those plastic sealers. maybe they did it with an industrial one because they work at Amazon fulfillment center which has shit like that. -

Tough luck, everything I sell I sell "As is"...having said that of the thousands of sales I've made I've maybe had a dozen problem ones...and they were all resolved amicably.
That boat is going for 120 on Amazon, I'll probably put it on offerup for 80...if it doesn't sell there I'll put it on ebay for 100. -

Commodore Amiga A500 with 1mb ram + 200 or so disks + 75 or so disks for Commodore 64
$50. Will install a Gotek drive and sell for about $350 (will keep the disks for now).
I'm still working on this, It's pretty much all done though, Gotek drive installed with OLED display and 16GB USB stick full of Amiga stuff, RGB2HDMI output installed (Waiting on another cable to finish it up), meanwell power supply built and housed in 3D printed case.
Price of Amigas are going through the roof, I'll sell this one for $450 easy. All told I'll have spent about $90 on it and maybe 3hrs work..I'm not counting the work hours though because I enjoy refurbishing these and bringing joy to some GenXer reliving his youth.
Easy and enjoyable money. -
