    You know... selling ashtrays you STOLE FROM CLUB SEGA on ebay doesn't
    exactly instill love for foreigners in Japan.

    "THERE IS ONLY TWO OF THESE AVAILIBLE FOR A WHILE!!! SO HURRY! AND YES
    I WILL GIVE YOU A DISCOUNT IF YOU WANTED OTHER ASHTRAYS TOO!!!"

    I assume he has only two, because he only had two pockets to conceal them
    in.

    I have decided to offer him 250 UK pounds if he can get FIFTY. Let's see what
    happens.

     Check out this shameless imbezzlement here

    I brought an SFC game from him. I asked him first if he could send it in a box to protect it better, he said yes but it would be an extra 2 pound. I agreed but when it arrived it was just wrapped in a black bag inside a normal envelope and it was damaged. I left negative feedback because of this, it's the only time I have ever left a bad feedback but all it did was make him do the same for me. He called me a liar and wished me good luck cause I'm gonna need it but because I used the 'Ask seller a question' option it was in my history still. I told him this and he said he was just pissed of he got a negative feedback so that is why he left one for me. Will never buy from him again.

    Actually this reminds me when GameWorks Rio closed it's doors. All sorts of stuff showed up on Mercado Livre (Brazilian ebay). Glasses, pins, cards,... All stolen of course.

    PS: GameWorks Rio closed it's doors because the brazilian owners wanted to get rid of the Restaurant area, only keeping the arcade and the 2 bars. Since the american company said no, they closed it and those brazilian created a new arcade franchise called HotZone.

    aren't most "leaked" games (beta/proto/finished whatever) due to some form of theft in one way or another?

    if this were a community of ash-tray enthusiasts then it might not seem so different than a copy of Propella Arena :p

    Speaking of odd sega items, I just dug these up out of the closet. Sega cups and candy mints.

    Theft and petty theft are very different.

    Stealing a car versus say, the switches out of fire alarms.

    There's a difference between something abandoned or left in the trash.

    This is like stealing hubcaps off a car.

    Seems like taking a couple of ashtrays is pretty petty, as compared to a Beta...
