• Just sold an old-school Game Boy which the seller claimed didn't work when it arrived. Returned it, and it's switched on and plays absolutely fine, just as it did when I sent it. What a waste of time and resources.
    Like, I've got it back, I can sell it again, fine, but I've lost the postage cost at least, and a week of my time while the buyer returned it. I don't think there's much I can do, just wanted to vent.

  • It might be that the cartridge the buyer was trying to use was super old? I believe they contain a tiny coin battery, which last approx. 10-15 years.

  • Surely you can just turn it on and get the redacted nintendo logo and the legendary start-up tone, though.
