I won it, and relatively cheaply! But the bad part is that upon further inspection of the pictures, the cartridge is a fake. The game hasn't arrived yet, and I plan to return it when it arrives, but there isn't a section that it directly aligns with to my knowledge. Does anyone know where a counterfeit cartridge goes? Thanks. If this is under the wrong section, sorry. I was debating between Other Video Games and Social Board.

Good luck. eBay/PayPal I think will usually side with the buyer on these sorts of things. Not without a few headaches and lots of waiting first though.
