Ebay hall of shame

Hey i found this on ebay uk, think the seller maniacsmods has has taken n64 modding to the next level with this beauty, its like the n64 tony montanna would have stashed in his humudor

The following text i copied from the listing sums it up:

console is rough cut. i free handed everything i cut. i feel it adds a battle worn look. there are a few errors in the art/cuts. i feel it just adds character

Haha character is not what i would say, anyways enjoy...







Wonky controller ports, wonky cart slot cut out and appears to have been attacked by a werewolf. Not the ultimate custom mod imo

 

i have seen one of these at a goodwill for 12 dollars

 

Maybe they had a heart attack at the keyboard and instead of $0.99 they got stuck on the 9 key...

 

So brown i doubt there's any metal components left inside







Nice

 

Looks like they've been rubbed in someone's crack.

 

Haha thats what i thought, someone has bid on them so maybe i need more brown games too...

 

So here's a guy selling SNES minis with RGB, S-Video, NTSC-J and power LED mods for $137.99 shipped... Must be some real quality stuff right?


Ummm... Are those even soldered? And did he just use whatever scrap wires he could find around the house?

And to top it all off....

Look how terrible that soldering is! WTF!!
I would be surprised if that even works!

 

That poor Nintendo 64...

 

There's two types of modders. One where they'll worry about how it looks and functions, and others will only mod and stop when it functions. Or I believe so anyhow

 

This listing has got to be at least 3x overpriced, probably £500-600 worth of consoles at most

 

I think this guy is just trying to get some quick cash because he saw the demand for RGB mini SNES. But I mean...at least have some pride in your work. That is just awful! I messaged him and told him that his work was awful for the prices he was charging and he should think about listing his soldering iron up for sale.. He then told me, "I'm reporting you to ebay!" LOL

At least he accepts offers.

Maniacsmods is the absolute worse. Look at his other stuff. Garbage.
$300 for this "custom" SNES


$275 for this "custom" NES.. pirates of the caribbean edition or something



$1200 for this "custom" spray painted N64 with a signature from Princess Leah

I really hope this guy is like 12

 

If you're gonna mod an NES like that, at least make it a top loader.

 

Yeah i have reported them before, ebay does nothing though.

 

reporting won't do squat when eBay make lots of money off shilled listing. All we can do is spread word on suspicious sellers and try to discourage buyers from bidding on suspicious seller's listing or to place bids only on the last minute. Sooner or later he won't be able to shill anything anymore.

 

stop complaining,they made millions of them

 

You're right, but that was a horrible "mod" regardless of however many were produced.

 

No he's not.

 

wat?

 

Saw this one go up today....

[MODERATOR NOTE: Link removed. Read the rules in the first post.]

I just picked up a pristine Launch Team 2001 Xbox for $350 shipped. Think this guy is greatly overestimating it's worth.

Also saw this one as well. I mean, I really want a Partner Xbox but would rather not have to sell an organ to get one.

 

People are very desperate. Did he emphasize "RARE" a 100 times in the listing too?
