>ebay seller has a listing for a game that is "complete" and prices it as such
>it only has the spine card and no registration card
how do these scam artists get away with this when it's clearly false advertising?

Sadly owning the complete set does not make you good at shmups.

If they do it's all down to stupid buyers

For me, complete means game, manual, and box or in the case of disc games, the back insert (also front insert for double cases). All the rest is just extra.

what was the point of those registration cards?
did anyone actually fill those out? Is it to get on a mailing list?

The point was to keep them so decades later you could charge autists a premium for CIB shit. kek.
They'd occasionally send out mailers and I'm sure many sold your address to junk mailers.

Its not autism. Jeeze that fucking word gets thrown around way too much.

A little too perfectionist, sure, but so what? OP wants everything, whats so bad about that? Technically, hes right, CIB means everything it originally came with.

This has been a matter of debate in the collector community for a long time. Some people are happy to call game/box/manual "complete" regardless of what else came in the box, like mail in cards, cardboard inserts, etc, other people will only accept a game exactly as it came from the store (minus the shrinkwrap) before they call it "complete".

I lean more towards the super autism side where I want everything EXACTLY as it was originally purchased, but if a game is missing a little paper insert or something I try not to let it bother me.

Not it hasn't. Anyone who believes this isn't a collector and hasn't been around for a long time.
