No. It looks like shit. Like someone really took a shit on it
He could get in trouble over that. The standards are pretty specific.

Looks like Shit
An item in extremely poor condition, one of the most common condition choices currently being used now. Typically it is a wonder an item in this condition even functions. Item can range from having sharpie-writings, broken/torn apart boxes/manuals, awful sunfading to even looking like somebody actually shat on the item. See the seller's listing for full details and description on how trashed the item is.
$5 for a common lose NES cart that looks like shit!?!
WTF!
I saw a cart-only Sonic 3 one time that was listed as "very good" despite some kid putting a sticker of a cricket playing a musical instrument on the label. So yeah, this doesn't surprise me much.
I really hate how liberal US sellers are with their descriptions. I got a supposed "very good" copy of Mega Turrican for Christmas that at best would only pass for "good" after I cleaned all the crap off of it.

GAME LOOKS WAY BETTER THAN PICTURE
Yeah I think that actually might be helpful. That cart looks like it spent the night in Jeffrey Dahmer's freezer.Quote:

For some reason, I have a hard time believing that.
Giving the benefit of the doubt here.
Those stains look almost like they may be permanent (shoe shine?). If so, and the game plays fine, then it is at most in "fair condition". But maybe this is what the seller considers "very good". It is certainly within the power of every viewer of that auction as whether to bid or not. "Very good" to one person may not be the same to another. Just trying to extend the poster of that auction some grace...
damn that thing looks like shit. by Ebay standards it should be listed as Acceptable and thats if it works.Quote:

I beg to differ.
I agree. Bad wholesalers are found throughout the world, not just in 'Merica.
