Shocking Ebay Prices

[Crisp_Rapper]

What's even more ridiculous is the fact that I'm thinking of buying it over paying my already overdue council tax!! And I have a copy of that CD anyway!!

Lunacy! HELP!!

mate, get someone to give you a harsh slapping.

[dataDave]

Don't worry - I'm buying something much more fulfilling with my council tax money now. LOL. Mars Matrix and ThunderForce IV.

Little bit late to the party here, but I can also vouch for Joel/Tirian being one of the best traders I have dealt with, and a top fella to boot.
I really don't understand the sniping here since he's being 100% upfront & honest about the item, which is more than you could say for a huge proportion of other eBayers...

Dave you gone to bed yet, -500 xp points for reading this thread.



WTF is this any ideas

I have seen a bootleg Mario game on a sega system before but not this one....

[Tirian]

Mate, you have not been watching closely enough. I sold an identical one on ebay a week or two ago. It went for about ?12.

[Pirotic]

Did he make that box himself, or did Russia honestly still play Megadrive games during the N64 era (notice the N64 promo artwork rips).

[NeoClaret]

?12.00 to ?50.00 big price difference tho. I'm not a MegaDrive fan so your right about not watching close enuff.

yes, I think he should! tried finding a way to report him to eBay but couldn't find a way to do it. hope some one will nail the dude.

I agree that old games should be played and I'm not terribly against people downloading roms (you can't legally buy old games that easilly). But making a profit on the selling of material you clear do not own the right of pisses me off big time.
One is keeping the old games alive, the other is nothing else than theft. I admit it's a thin border but for me the defining line is "profit".

[Tirian]

Ebay generally will not remove auctions for ROM discs like this unless the complaint comes from the copyright holder. This way they can pay lip service to the letter of the law, and still make money on the sales of the discs.

On the other hand, linking to his website where he is selling more stuff is against eBay regulations because it potentially loses them money if people buy from there instead from the auction. If you report that then his auction will most likely get removed pretty swiftly

[Tirian]

Anyone for jerky conversion of Fatal Fury with 16 bit graphics and a repro cover?

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=8253962090&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&rd=1

Rare game? Yes! But you should be saving this amount of money for the real deal, complete - not this!

Thats ebay for you, Make the important things difficult but always happy to overcharge and make that process simple to complete.

Decent auction sites automatically remove rom cds and cdr items straight away but ebay want to put you through a farcical process as their staff aren't capable to recognise the situation.

Its what happens though when a single site is given so much credence and attention in the marketplace.

[garyfoo182]

i am shocked Tirian. My copy of FFS on the PAL MCD cost me ?110 including postage from Germany late last year. I can not believe an incomplete copy has just sold for more!!!!!

ZAG

[NeoClaret]

Meh.... if you shopped about a bit you could pick up an un-boxed AES unit and Fatal Fury or Fatal Fury Speacial for that type of money.

Why not have the real deal.....
