This isn't required, as my legitimate Leaf Green didn't come with a box, but it certainly helps. 4.) Finding a seller that is selling the game with the original packaging is another bonus, as this usually means that the game itself is also legitimate. It's best to find a seller that offers a return policy, or to pay through something like pay-pal so that if you do get burned, you can still get your money back. Only buy from sellers that have a high rating. If you live in Europe, also look for sellers in the U.S. Try to find a seller in your home country. Things you should look for: 1.) Where is the seller located? Most, if not all of the bootlegged copies come from Asia. I've been burned once when I bought a emerald that turned out to be a fake. Also, as /u/Space_Seacow pointed out, there are often things on the label that don't look right, such as the Nintendo seal and E rating. If the label doesn't seem shiny, it's most likely a fake. Look at the image for the game the user is selling. Legitimate game cartridges will have a shiny/holographic label. For Gen 3 GBA games, the labels are something to look at. There is one significant dead giveaway when it comes to spotting fakes. I would like to offer my knowledge in order to help here.
