Hello,
I would like to know how to tell if a video game is "really" new because I've noticed that some jokers sell rare games on Leboncoin, supposedly new and sealed, but when I received the game, it seemed like it wasn't really new and that the seal was poorly stuck on the top. In fact, it's a Final Fantasy VII sealed on PS1, but it looks like the seal has been opened at the top, where the seal is folded back. I'm afraid it might not be a genuine new game.
Has this happened to anyone before? How can you tell the real from the fake? And is it possible to open a seal at this point (without opening it at the official PS1 side)? Thank you.

I also have a Gamucube IKARUGA game in its official blister according to the seller, BUT THERE IS NO NINTENDO STRIP! So I don't know if there are perhaps blisters without a strip??? Thank you.

So here’s a little explanation: blister pack in hard plastic!
flm: shrink film or X-folding.
First case:
impossible to reclose the box... unless you open it neatly and have the machine to do the sealing again... so it's extremely rare...
shrinkable:
you need shrink film and a heat source at about 160 degrees on average... simpler than the blister but you need to find shrink film...
X-folding:
here it’s plastic film that is non-shrinkable...
this one is even simpler: you open it carefully peeling off the folds, or you keep a larger size film.
the sealing is done like wrapping a gift and with a heat source at 160 degrees... this is the easiest.
if the seller uses these three techniques... there’s no way to see the trickery except for the first one (trace of the old film on the edges)...
how do I know this: well it’s simple, it’s my job to repackage VIDEO GAMES.
I know the three types of repackaging!
we can even do better: make the game perfectly sealed after finishing in no-life mode! (less than a week), or even better... but I won't say how.

why do simple when you can do complicated? -
This does not reassure me at all. There are indeed ways to repackage a game, but then I would like to know, a Gamecube game with an original shrink wrap must necessarily have the Nintendo stripe? Are there games with shrink wrap without the Nintendo stripe, because my game is shrink-wrapped but without this stripe? Thank you.

In fact, the game is original; it's just that there are sealed games that don't have the PS3, Xbox 360, or Wii stripe, simply put. But it really is a brand new game; I asked in the store.
