I did not like the bit about being a picture from google............

What do other people think??

Professey Chin

Fake im gonna go with

KeRbDoG

Well, yea should be protected by Paypal should yea buy it and it isn't as described

Warren3

I was looking at his feedback and it is for mostly selling cheap stuff so could all be a set up for this scam???

Retr0gamer

Looks like a fake, I've seen that pic of stadium events a few times. At best you'll get the PAL version which isn't rare at all, it's the NTSC one that commands a fortune.

Joe Musashi

Definitely fake. Why would he list it now if he was on holiday and couldn't take a picture of the actual item? Hmmm.

Warren3

I just sent the seller a message asking why he is selling the game while on holiday??. A strange move in anyones book??

I will keep you informed!!!!

Here is the reply from the seller

Dear warren32008,

regards

I still smell a rat...........

CathalDublin

Yea reading the feedbacks where people bought downloads/demos for 8sterling and left really good feedback, seems very odd

Warren3

It is over £200 now. Will be very interesting to see what happens in the end!

o1s1n

Seems that no matter how obvious a scam, people are willing to take the risk 'just in case'.

I'll probably eat those words now in a few days when this turns out to be legit

Roar

what was so important that he had to put a game up on ebay while on holidays??

I can't imagine this is legit. Poor spelling, poor grammar, no photos, and an update bit of information when people obviously started emailing him to say the pic was an old one..

Scamtastic..

o1s1n

To be honest I'm suprised he didn't mention a dead African prince in there too.

Maybe that's where he found the game

Jack burton

well mabye he got it so cheap because he buys is directly fro the supplier and wants to bring the discounts he gets to consumers

This is an NES game we're talking about.

What this? Good ipods and phones for a mere $100?!?

Forward on those emails my good man!

It is over £770 now. Crazy money!!

I suppose if you are going to rip off ebay you may as well do it big!

What is to stop you closing you paypal account and bank account/credit card it is linked to and taking the money straight after the sale???

o1s1n

It takes a little while for the money to clear once you've received it into your paypal account. New ebay users can't withdraw any money at all until the buyer has confirmed they have received the item.

That's why the scammer guy who I bought Radiant Silvergun from said he couldnt post it for two weeks. Was just to give himself enough time to withdraw the money. Scumbag.

Excuse me while I go plot his doom.

Sorry to hear that mate

Did you get your money back from paypal??

I got ripped off £5 once but that is about it on ebay

o1s1n

Ah yeah, lucky for me, someone left him really bad feedback. I saw that, contacted them and they told me how he tried to scam them out of money for a ps3.

So I left it a week and then filed a paypal dispute. He has 20 odd days to respond and didn't. So I got a full refund \o/

Weird, he made his feedback private after I mentioned the neg he got. Just checked now and it's not private anymore. Interesting.

£1170 now

I reckon this will finish high

Any predictions??

Augmerson

Chelsea to win the Premiership and FA Cup....oh wait.

I will say 1500.

o1s1n

So this person will basically be betting 1500 that it's no a scam.

If it is a scam, they'll get their money back through paypal eventually.

If it's not a scam, they'll have a 40,000 dollar game for 1500 euro.

/puts in a bid

Warren3

when you put it like that it sounds quite appealing.

I reckon it will go for £4,000

If the american one went for $14,000 there will be someone willing to take the risk

Retr0gamer

I bet at the very best he will get a PAL version. I don't know how a person from europe would have the NTSC version since it was only on sale for a day before it was pulled from stores. The PAL version isn't worth the steam off my piss.

Warren3

£1499 now..................

Crazy crazy money!!!
