I'd have a word with the seller since it is advertised as factory sealed.

Be honest- Tell them you are a collector and "factory sealed" condition rates a premium price which this item does not merit since it is not factory sealed.

BTW- The Voodoo 3 series that I have varied if shrink wrapped or not, my Voodoo 3 was not shrink wrapped when I purchased it new.

Maybe you should have think before bidding such a, in my opinion, ridiculous price ...

The seller does not have to take it...and I guess he will not take it...

Store this deal under "eBay - Buys which teached me"

Almost everybody bought a thing which wasn't in the condition you desired...

I definately learned my lesson with this one. It appeared to be shrink wrapped to my eyes, and when I asked him of the condition of the box, He said it was "Just as it came from the store". Granted that might have been without shrink wrap fromt he begining... But I wonder what he meant by factory sealed? The only thing that seals the boxes is the shrink wrap Undecided

Oh well, I decieded to keep it and suck it up. Thanks for the input guys...

The card cannot be factory sealed... the plastic containers the cards come in do not get sealed... the boxes do...

Either way I am keeping it and gave him Postitive feedback, I can justify it because I just bought a factory sealed V5 5500 AGP for cheap... so im happy

Which this card wasnt. It was just in the plastic container, like all of those cards came in. Oh well, I'm over it, my rant is done
