    I see same high priced listings on local auction site. It's probably automated, because every seller with ridiculous priced auctions have lot of items to sell, so I guess they use some kind of program that takes care of everything, pricing incluaded.

    I'm thinking so because all of the items on his ebay page got removed after this little event.

    He may have made more posts on here than me, but I agree that everything 'SCEDEVNET' sells looks a bit 'dodge'.
    His ebay feedback seems to be all be for buying things, not selling. That always makes me suspicious and definitely puts me off buying from him.

    Plus he has like 1 picture of each item. If I was buying eg the entire European Automobile Colour PS2 collection for €3,000 I would want more than just 1 pic!?

    Thieving bastards. £5 with free delivery is still too much for FREE software.

    I could understand someone paying for it on a DVD if they don't have high speed internet . . . though now and days I don't think there is anyone on dial-up anymore . . . is that even available?

    Even with the seller losing maybe £1 per sale for the costs of the disc+postage, and probably a quid more on average for the best offers, that's still ~£3x2700 which is around £8k profit.

    Fucking parasite. What irritates me the most is that it has no doubt been reported before now and ebay have ignored it.

    As people said not everyone has highspeed internet access and it wasn't that long ago that you still had public domain places, where you would would pay for software to be copied to disc even though the software was free. Anyone loading up the original DOS version of DOOM would notice that id software even put a recommended price on the title screen of $9 even though it was shareware software and the first episode was free....

    5 pounds could be classified as a reasonable amount for media and time (and anyone bothering to visit the open office site will notice that you can distribute it on CD rom and charged for the media, postage and time....http://distribution.openoffice.org/cdrom/index.html#cdrom and guess what? Buying the CD from any of these places will cost you about er 5 pounds (or more....)). Although it is a bit much that he has added "Not to be copied" on the disc...

    Fair enough. I still think £5 takes the piss for something that's so easily downloaded. Several thousand people apparently disagree, which would be ok, but I have to wonder how many of them thought they were getting legit Microsoft software or were aware that the software was available to them for free.

    There was no "limited edition" of Wind Waker with this cover, or no "limited edition" NTSC version at all.
