    Here's a real shameful auction:
    http://www.ebay.com/itm/251266792164
    [​IMG]


    Thge picture looks suspiciously similar to another one:
    http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl...h99UafyKKi90AH334CYDQ&ved=0CEAQ9QEwAQ&dur=187

    Someone on Atari Age forum spotted this shameful scam. Thought I'd post it on other forum and see if more people can report it as scam.

    I liked the seller's excuse for the messy picture:

    Like he doesn't know how to use undo feature? If he can add his "name", make new eBay account, and get it listed he would have known how to use undo feature and get rid of the "smudge" he left to hide evidence.

    Maybe someone could create an auction with the original picture and make a statement in description where the picture is from and how the other auction is using stolen picture, smudged out reflection, and is trying to sell it as his?

    PS what about eBay limit? Wouldn't a new seller get hit with a low limit like $500 or 10 auction in a single month? One bid and it might get pulled for exceeding the limit.

    It's like they think they can get away with stuff like this.

    Oh God. Oh please no. Following on from the "This is VGA Graded, so it's worth 100 times more without the shiny plastic", there's now 'UKG Graded'!??
    Maybe I should just join in the fun and send my entire sealed Resident Evil collection to them, then I'd be a millionaire....

    €30,000 EUROS for some Resident Evil dvd's anyone lol??
    Even if I wanted to pay ridiculously over the odds, I'm pretty sure I could pick all of these up in one day from ebay for €1k.......

    I can find that game on a lot of other ways on the NES. Theres Fami-clones that can be played with an adapter, Disk system version, even put it on a flashcart for the NES that the same site sells FOR CHEAPER Then this guy wants for a repo cart.

    http://www.retrousb.com/product_info.php?cPath=24&products_id=34

    And I'm sure with enough effort I could make a dedicated cart for less then he wants that's more or less the same.

    I just edited it, but I just want to admit that I listed three limited edition Xbox360 shooters on sale as: Death Smiles, Kizuna Encounter Extra, and Akai Katana.

    Ah... ouch.

    I swear people on ebay are getting stupider and stupider everyday. There's no way this games ever going to be worth $129 for cart only. Don't say prices can change cause there is no way a loose cart can go up $100+ in value in less then a year. I'm glade I bought mine last year for $50 CIB in good condition.

    I see you're not familiar with "The main character dies" As seen with Michael Jackson's Moonwalker, or even Hagane thanks to Mike Matei reviewing it and uploading the video to the JamesNintendoNerd channel.

    Wasn't Hagane already worth a lot even before that? Also Moonwalker ain't worth that much even with Michael being dead.

    Just thought I should point out, if you check the seller's feedback, there is the pissed off negative feedback from the winner of the 10k auction! :p

    Moonwalker hit £350+
    Hagane = £50 complete before Mike reviewed it.

    Moonwalker is long back to $40-ish... which is still a lot in my opinion. Before Michael's death it was more like $15.

    As for Hagane - is that really because of that YouTube-review?? SNES-prices went completely nuts in recent years anyways so unless there's a very striking correlation between the review's upload-date and the price increase, I wouldn't be too sure about a relationship.
