Have reported the item to eBay, watch them do nothing.

How can u report it? Just say that it looks fishy? If the accounts are coming from the same IP I can see them doing something but if they are not then I don't see what they could do.

When you report it, there is a specific option you can pick. Ebay are well aware of the issue of fake bids inflating the price.

It looks like it worked and the listing has ended, or maybe several other reported it aswell.

every new game I've photographed in the last month or so I've taken a picture of the package before the seal was cracked just so sealed game collector's know what to look for.

I think it's great that you're doing that because there's so many reseals out there. It comes in handy when you're buying something from overseas especially. Like the Cello seals, is that how they come factory sealed in the UK? Ours (NTSC) look totally different. Actually, the Cello seals look like they would be quite easy to buy and reseal any game that way. I could be way off here but it looks that way, am I wrong?

This is great news.

I have yet to come across a re-seal collector's edition, but like you said they are out there and if there's money to be made from it more will be made. This is likely the single biggest concern for a collector, that and the huge increase in price thanks to VGA grading.

No - you are correct, it becoming increasingly common for re-sealed normal games, however the kit to shrink wrap the games is also very cheap, about £40-50 max for sealer and materials.

I don't have a huge amount of steelbooks but the ones I do have: Resident Evil 5, Perfect dark zero, jericho are all cello sealed, the ones I have from the USA such as Tales of vesperia are shrink wrapped. I guess it depends on the publisher in the region they are made for.

had never heard of this site. Checking it out now. Thanks.

It looks like Gemini-Phoenix (also a Staff member on this site) has confirmed that it is shrink wrapped with green stickker.

Bear in the mind that most of the games on that site will be PRE-PS2. Nintendo espeically, there something about sealed Nintendo 64 games that make them much more appealing than other console games in that generation. Wonder if there was ever a limited edition N64 game.

Well this just got more interesting: -

Two others on the forum have Cello sealed game and not shrinkwrapped.

When I bought Forza 2 LCE from ebay it was advertised as "sealed"

it was, but the seal was fake, the DLC card was already used up too...

that's the only one I ever ran into though.

the seal was obviously fake when I got it so I was weary off the bat.

it was a shrink-wrap seal too... but it was of a lower quality (thinner/more brittle?) than what I see on most game cases.
