This is an original feature to Loot Ninja.  Caveat Emptor is a legal term for “Buyer Beware”.  We give you the heads up on mistakes we have made buying things.

This week: Buying Video Games From China on eBay.

Mistake: Believing that you can buy a copy of Tetris for the DS from China for your wife so she can get in to gaming and you will actually receive a copy of Tetris for the DS.

Reality: The doorbell rings and you package from the Far East is waiting for you. The second you open it, you realize that there is trouble afoot. This is not the game you ordered. This is not even a legit game at all.

Outcome: The fuckstick who swindled you in China has not only sent you Tetris for the DS, he has not sent you a licensed DS game. Breaking the honor code of eBay, he has sent you your very own bootleg copy of Super Mario Bros DS. The game is in Mandarin Chinese, which you don’t speak. The game does not work, in which you are not surprised. He could have sent you 3 boxes of butt plugs which you or your wife could have at least gotten some use out of.

Final price: Your wife thinks you are a jackass because you can’t even buy a game right. Your 20 bucks is in the hand of some scumbag. You are left with the video game equivalent of frozen duck shit. Your trust in mankind is fading and that charity you sometimes give to can go fuck themselves.
