Dreamcast .Dev kit

How is this guy selling so many of these?! He's sold like 4 of them now if you check 'completed listings' they are all from the same guy,
I asked if he knew which Dev house they came from and he didn't know. More interestingly is there's no feedback from buyers about these... Possible scam?

 

He would probably have bad feedback (rather than no feedback) from those that bought the previous units, if he wasn't legit. Unless he's sold all of them quite recently, that is.

There were two more like this all with the same picture sold within weeks of each other.... Could the seller keep cancelling the transaction until they get a price they want?

 

They are different pictures...

 

Definitely different pictures; the most noticeable difference being the power light is on in the auction that ended today

 

Next question then, how do we reckon he got (so far) four of them to sell? Do we think there's unreleased games to be found here?

Also, the one he has for sale currently is the same as the one sold for £620 isn't it? The mark on the left is the same or are my eyes just not seeing it right?

 

Looks to be the same unit - if you're interested in snagging one, you could always ask him for more pictures.

 

I managed to grab one from another member here, I was interested in his GD Writer that just finished on auction, I'll wait and see if the seller relists again.... I'm totally interested in potential unreleased games on these Katana kits though....

 

I bought my PVM from this guy. Arrived very badly packed therefore the PVM took a good beating exterior wise and the condition was very poor to begin with (dirty as f**k and not taken care of). Pics are not good and clear for a purpose.

I would avoid him.

At least he did refund me my money back

Its better to buy from a reputable seller in here at some point and spend some extra cash. At least you will know what you will be getting

 

I actually bidded on that Dev Kit but £620 was far too much

looking at his other sales they all seem to be job lots from offices, like bulk sales of PCs, monitors and even wall clocks so I think there is a pretty big chance that they came straight from the office of one of the UK game companies that have shut down recently, (possibly Bizarre Creations?) because he's also selling an Xbox debug kit now.

Either way the seller is definitely clearing out offices and is not a collector so there is a huge chance that there might be something new on the HDD of the HKT-01 or the Xbox debug kit.

 

Mine has just arrived...... Smashed to bits .

 

he got also a gdr writer to sell unfortunally , he refuse to send it to france :moody::dejection:

 

What was that Katana sound board thing he had too?

 

So was my PVM like I said earlier. Poor packaging correct? And the guys at DPD that delivered clearly don't know how to handle stuff

 

So yeah he wasn't a collector then clearly....hopefully the HDD is still intact

 

No this was from a member on here....

 

Wow I'm really sorry to hear that, hopefully the package was insured at least?

 

Is there any way to salvage the damaged product, Dreamcastnews?

 

I have fixed one or two in the past. Pm me if anyone needs help on parts

 

It's the facia that's broken, as far as I'm aware the internals survived but with a broken housing it takes lots of the showmanship of the item away :/
