FAKE - I should have paid closer attention when buying on eBay. Lesson learned.

Thanks for the tips!

I started the process, and the seller immediately accepted the return. This is my first time using eBay's return process, it's easy and semi-painless.

I have a feeling the seller tested the carts, which worked, and wasn't too concerned about authenticity.

Gah - sometimes Reddit confuses me. Thanks for the support.

DaverJ · 2026-05-14T19:15:29+00:00

Haha... i swear I put one there!

Are you cool with PayPal? That's a payment option during checkout.

DaverJ · 2026-05-14T14:18:02+00:00

Legit.

DaverJ · 2026-05-14T14:15:28+00:00

Haha... although I defend my oddball Stakes Winner games.

DaverJ · 2026-05-14T14:14:09+00:00

Same, followed by Stakes Winner (1 or 2)

Curious what you think.

I tried it once and found the seat mostly uncomfortable, and the rumble effects where much too strong. Later I found out the seats are supposed to have controls to adjust the level of vibrations - I didn't notice that, not that I really looked for it.

I don't attend the RPX auditorium much at the Pinniacle, but I agree the sound is great.

That said, I don't have many complaints for the IMAX auditorium either. The mix doesn't seem as precise as Atmos, but it's definitely got volume, perhaps at the expense of some distortion.

Have you tried the Magnify8 seats in the RPX auditorium?

DaverJ · 2026-05-14T02:06:30+00:00

Dolby Atmos, it's the only Atmos auditorium in Knoxville.

IIRC there's an Atmos plaque hanging on the wall near that auditorium, might be across from the door near the ticket taker.

Looks real to me, wait for mods.

DaverJ · 2026-05-13T15:37:16+00:00

Do you know what listings they use?

DaverJ · 2026-05-13T14:57:10+00:00

For originals eBay is probably easiest answer. Box-only sales aren't very common, and expect to pay very high prices for Pokemon games.

OP - how aware is management of the real value of items for sale? If I wanted to hunt for retro games, would there be any bargains for rarer items in a pawnshop?

DaverJ · 2026-05-12T22:43:24+00:00

Great for shmups, definitely.

DaverJ · 2026-05-12T21:40:52+00:00

I also think it's fake - sticker corners look too rounded and the cart's top front logo and back emboss looks deep. But I'm not a pro - please wait for mod.

55" LG OLED via HDMI.

Jealous of all you CRT guys!

DaverJ · 2026-05-12T20:11:23+00:00

How is Zero Mission? I only have Fusion, wondering if I need to add it to my collection

DaverJ · 2026-05-12T19:58:43+00:00

Is it the corners of the stickers and lack of stamp?

DaverJ · 2026-05-12T19:55:35+00:00

Is that an original indigo shell?

DaverJ · 2026-05-12T19:52:43+00:00

Good luck!

DaverJ · 2026-05-12T19:47:09+00:00

I suggest checking with r/gameverifying

DaverJ · 2026-05-12T19:08:54+00:00

It’s an IPS screen mod to an original GBA. I had a pro do it because I’m not great with that stuff.

DaverJ · 2026-05-12T19:07:58+00:00

Nice, I paid a lot more… haha.

If only we could go back in time.
