I am guilty of doing this. However, I don't buy multiple copies of things just to sell. I may buy one extra with the intention of a play and display type thing, then when I see the selling prices I will chuck my spare up on ebay too. Sometimes it is too tempting not to. lol

Mine arrived today in a similar condition to this one.

Mine has a rip but on the left side only. Gonna get onto amazon customer support and hope to try and get some compensation or a partial refund. lol Will update here.

Other than that though, the item arrived in great shape. ^o^ No crush damage or nasty bumps which I was expecting and it came incredibly quickly. ^o^

Very true, sometimes you see what they are selling for and realize others want it way more then you do.

lol Yeah. There has been some instances where the spare has been able to sell for that much that I effectively got my personal one for free. lol Mass Effect 3 launch was my favourite. My GF had made 2 pre-orders in store at GAME, one for me and one for her. I also made 2 pre-orders online without realising that she had already done it. THese pre-orders were made over 6 months in advance of the launch. About 3 weeks before the launch, just before GAME went into Administration, I noticed the prices of the Mass Effect 3 CE were selling for about £200~ on ebay, so I listed 2 copies at £200 OBO, expecting somebody to make a daft offer on them. Within 2 hours of my listing going up, 2 people had already bought them from me and paid in full. XD Was enough to pay for mine and my GFs copies with change. lol No shame.

Yeah, it's annoying, but I can't see anything being done about it now.

Just got my 2 N3DS Faceplates to come and that's it for Majora's Mask merch for me.

I don't think we can blame retailers on this too much. There's a flaw on the design of the packaging. I can't think of a way to pack this without damaging the packaging.

Yeah, I guess you're right, but I've paid $76 just for the pretty box, since I don't have use for the game and I already have a statue for display. lol Debating whether I can be arsed to contact them. They're usually pretty good with issues, but like you said, it really couldn't be helped and it doesn't seem to be an isolated incident. >.<
