    This isn't an eBay one, however - if anyone does import or buy via Taobao I have to say not to buy from a user named "lyra5678". Despite having a good reputation on there, after having forked out nearly $300 for a particularly rare Demento/Haunting Ground item I've been looking for, for years now... The seller changed their mind about selling it, hadn't bothered to ship it out and made no contact until today now. Ten days after I had already paid for the item.

    I haven't really used Taobao or gone through a middleman service for the site that often, but I've not had any issues like this across any site (I suppose, that I've had a run of luck when it comes to collecting).

    Needless to say, I'm fairly pissed off. I'll update my post if I don't get a refund (in that case, I want the items I paid for) like I was told would be done this morning. DX

    I just did some research on this game cart. History seems a bit shady on it. Here's what I know. It was originally sold on FleaBay in 2004. Resurfaced here in June this year. Here's the thread it showed up in: http://www.assemblergames.com/forum...ype-cardtridge-games-and-Sonic-Limited-Statue Look in the second picture there and you'll see the bottom left cart is the same one in the FleaBay photo. Dude selling here was asking $250 USD then. So this seems to be a fail for sure. If that wasn't enough there are many more pictures of the prototype cart out there and they all match up to the ones here. Chip placement, hand writing, and everything is identical. So maybe it is the only true original out now that repos have been made since then?



    More Shameful stuff: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Handgun-Han...t=Video_Games_Accessories&hash=item35c0002cdc This is obviously for the Super Joy Famiclones because I have one and photos show this in the same casing with the main controller. Maybe it works on Sega too since there are no chips and just has a transistor, capacitor, resistor, and some type of LED thingy. Yes? No?

    That controller ends in a mega drive controller input (if its the same one I had) so it is a Genesis light gun I guess. It's total garbage though.

    Controller? OH! You must mean that silver Glock 9mm looking thingy. Yes it does have a Sega plug on it but so did the Superjoy 3 Famiclone it came with. I opened up both the gun and "console to find only 7 of the 9 pins used. I don't know if it would work on a Sega. Think I'll try it out right now.

    EDIT: It no worky on Sega. It's a Famiclone only thing. :(

    Ours worked, think we used it for Lethal enforcers. Of course these are straight outta china(ton?) and so probably exist for every console of the time.

    And if that price wasn't bad enough just look at the shipping. $800 USD for the controller and almost $81 USD for shipping. That's bullshit right there. What is the shipping? Get it in your hands the moment auction closes??? *POOF* "IT'S HERE ALREADY???!!! I just paid for it 5 seconds ago!" As if...

    EDIT: Shipping is to the UK. To go here in the US to my location is free shipping. Even more proof of the bullshit. I sent a package that size to Puerto Rico for like $20 USD with delivery confirmation.

    Literally every time someone posts a screengrab of an eBay auction like that I try and view the other pictures of the item.
