Thanks for the confirmation. Thats still gives strength to my theory the thailand guy has a fake one.
just want to tell that I managed to get refunded by the seller, atm I lost about 50€ for the shipping now in the hunt for the real one ! hoping in an answer from madarake...
Glad you got your money back! What was his response? I suppose he did not agree with that it is a fake!?
he will deny till death, but menacing legal action and going to police made him reconsidiring my refund request I will be in tokyo at the end of december, can't wait to see the holy grail... ...and of course bringing a brick to smash the window and grab the yam yam :lol: too bad I won't have the mandarake invoice to prove it's the real one:lol: anyway be careful, I think that the fake yam yam could be put on sale again sooner or later, like other gold cartridges
Glad you managed to get your money back mate! If this goes back on EBay I really think we should bombard the guy, telling him we all know he is selling fakes and report him to EBay too. I always think people should really do research on wat they are buying but people like this make it so much harder.
Got lucky to be refunded, REALLY Well,i think we're many in the hunt for that one,but i don't see WHY MAndarake would sell it...It brings WAY TOO MUCH attention/advertizing to be sold.
Everyone and everything has a price. If someone *really* wanted it and had the funds, they could walk out of Mandrake with it tomorrow. -hl718
If someone REALLY wanted it, they'd just buy the Mandrake store itself. Then sell it again, minus one little gold cart ;-)
The only thing that keeps it at the store is that most VG collector's are not rich enough to spend real "crazy money" on their hobby. I mean, there are movie collector's who buy a Citizen Kane poster for 30.000$, why the hell is YamYam still at Mandarake's??? I guess for 30k, they'd sell it?
I almost wonder if they'd even consider selling something like that to a foreigner. Even if they were offering crazy money.
