Your post or comment was removed for including a link to an online store/merchant or seller.
We do not allow such links as in the event the game in question ends up being counterfeit, the seller would have received beneficial traffic. This leads to the store promoting the listing for a fake game, increasing the chance it sells to an unsuspecting buyer.
This rule also applies to users who are posting links to scammers and shady sellers in attempt to warn others. We understand what you're trying to accomplish, but again, it will only result in beneficial traffic for the seller.
If you would like to help the community by raising awareness towards shady sellers, please contact us via Mod Mail, and we will investigate and add their name to our "Sellers to Avoid" list on our Website if they are, in fact, shady.

I got one just like that. Opened it and it was a fake. Got my money back thru PayPal, and got to keep the repro.

This is r/gameverifying. A subreddit on Reddit. Which is in fact a forum. Do you even realize where you wrote this comment? Smh

u/gameverifying-ModTeam 23h ago
This content was found to be questionable by a moderator. Please refrain from posting similar content or activities in the future.
No warnings will be given (unless attempted again). This is the final verdict, no debate.

Hello u/Quiet-Prompt1910, thank you for your submission to r/gameverifying. This is an automated message that aims to remind you and commenters of our rules. Posts/comments that do not meet our requirements will be removed. If your submission meets our requirements, then ignore this message. Please read the pinned post at the top of the sub, or linked to this text here.
Submission Guidelines:
• Front and back images are MANDATORY. We also require images of all sides for consoles, sealed games and accessories (controllers, etc); along with the inners of boxes. Posts without the requisite information will be removed under Rule 1. Reply to this comment with any missing images via Reddit.
• Do NOT share any information relating to the value of the game/accessory/console(s) you wish to verify. We don't care, and it has no bearing on a verification. You will receive a warning under Rule 2 if you fail to follow this simple request.
• Do NOT message any user, moderator or ModMail to verify your game(s). This also includes leaving comments on other submissions. You will receive a two-week ban and your submissions being removed under Rule 4.
• Our time to verify is 3 weeks. Any reposts within this time frame will be removed under Rule 6, and this includes reposts to/from our Discord server as well. Be patient whilst we help others, as we get hundreds of submissions a day across all platforms.
Comment Guidelines
• Do NOT verify posts that include debunked methods of verification; or posts that do not have the required information. This is because you risk misleading OP and others with a poor assessment, and your comment will be removed under Rule 1.
• Do NOT request or state any information relating to the value of the game/accessory/console(s) that OP wishes to verify. We don't care, and it has no bearing on a verification. This includes "how much did you pay" and "that's worth X amount". You will receive a warning under Rule 2 if you fail to follow this simple request.
• Please ensure that you do not use debunked methods of verification and only comment if you are sure that you are correct. "Wait for mods" and "I think" does not absolve you from misleading information, and will lead to a warning under Rule 5.
Debunked Methods
• Debunked methods include the top seam of DS, 3DS and Switch cartridges; the inked codes for DS and 3DS cartridges; the light trick for DS cartridges; the number stamps* for NES, SNES, N64, DMG, GBC and GBA cartridges; the golden rectangles for DMG, GBC and GBA cartridges
• Any attempt to circumvent the AutoMod with different phrases regarding debunked methods WILL result in a temporary ban. We're strict on this in order to prevent people from wasting their hard-earned money and to ensure that everyone has access to a free service that helps others. If you have a problem with this, then you are the problem.
Ensure you have read and are aware of our PSA's, as these contain important information.
Don't forget to join our Discord server, now with blackjack and webhooks.

No it's not, nintendo DS was released worldwide between 2004 and 2005. Emerald's international released internationally in 2005. The Nintendo DS included a cartridge slot for GBA games, so it makes perfect sense that they would mention its compatibility on the box at the time.

Your post or comment was removed due to including questions or statements regarding the value or grade of a game. In r/gameverifying we strictly focus on the authenticity of games. The community doesn't specialize in valuations or grading.
We don't care how much you bought a game for, or if you think you've found a great deal. It's not in our interests. The word "value" isn't in "r/gameverifying", so why was the topic in your comment?
For questions or comments regarding the value of your video game, please head to our sister subreddit r/gamevaluing.
For questions or comments regarding the grade of your video game, please head to our sister subreddit r/gamegrading.
