These deals are too good to be true.
The amount of counterfeit video games on the market these days is getting ridiculous. It has reached the point where I can find a new seller listing their garbage daily.
Here's what a seller who claims they only sell high-quality video games recently sold, along with a percentage of how much cheaper it costs compared to an authentic copy:

All of these games have flawless cartridges with no scratches or scuffs. They also feature art that's oversaturated, blurry, and/or stretched.
The publisher never released every game that has a price difference that's "not available.
Needless to say, their feedback is flooded with buyers claiming that their cartridge is counterfeit and is difficult to insert and remove from their system.
