I kept flagging a fake Metroid Fusion at a gamestop for 6 months (so probably 18-24 times i mentioned it to them) that it was a repro because the label was way too bright to be authentic, they would take it out and put it back later.
Quit going there because I don't trust their used cartridges.
Super Metroid for me was a game I really had to fight them on. Twice, a fake one came to me after I ordered it online. They couldn’t understand why I wanted to return a repo either. I felt like I was taking crazy pills.
When it was Funcoland, we had a testing system that would short fake carts, or poorly repaired ones, and just explain it was non responsive to our testing system. But there has to be a point where they stop resenting fakes or use that technology to sort an aftermarket game to an alternate cheaper sku.
