That's a spectacular tribute. What a collection though, I'd love all 255. Though I wish they made Darius ships and bosses.

I want a Lego King Fossil!

I ****ing HATE this ebay seller. He keeps making repros of rare Megadrive games and not listing them as such. In the end I search for something, see the photo, shout 'OH MY ****ING GOD!!' almost buy it, and then see his name.

http://www.ebay.com.au/sch/tanoka81/m.html?hash=item43abb89ee1&item=290643812065&pt=UK_PC_Video_Games_Video_Games_JS&_trksid=p4340.l2562

I think I'll report all his auctions.

edit - I wrote ebay an email reporting his auctions and why they are bootlegs.

Got the following message -

Thank you. Your report has been sent.
Please note that we cannot respond to you with the result of our investigation due to privacy rules.

Translation -

Thank you for your report,

However we are going to do absolutely nothing and pretend it's due to privacy rules.

If other people could click on his username and report his listings I'd really appreciate it!

Done.

I see he got a couple of back feedback comments from people who bought the stuff thinking it was legit.

Thanks a mil!

Almost bought his Death and Return of Superman a few minutes ago thinking I'd come across a great find. I'd be raging to have a bootleg sent out in the post like that.

Steve X2 · 10-12-2011 8:50pm

How bad are the bootlegs?

Do the look perfect and everything until you open them up and look at the chips?

Well looking at the The Death and Return of Superman -

The inlay looks to be too dark. On closer inspection in person, I'd imagine the printing quality wouldn't be anywhere near factory standard.

Here's the bootleg -

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/DEATH-AND-RETURN-SUPERMAN-SEGA-MEGADRIVE-GENESIS-MEGA-DRIVE-RARO-RARE-/290643812065?pt=UK_PC_Video_Games_Video_Games_JS&hash=item43abb89ee1

Real version to compare -

http://www.ebay.de/itm/SEGA-Mega-Drive-The-Death-and-Return-of-Superman-NEUWERTIG-/180766181721?pt=de_entertainment_games&hash=item2a16810959

The 'booklet' is just a 1 page colour print of the cover, and then a 1 page black and white print of the controls.

The cart label looks to be printed well. But if you were to open it up, I'd imagine it would be a mess of wires and eeproms!

If you bought one you'd know instantly.

readyletsgo · 10-12-2011 11:15pm

Hi, selling some GB/C, GBA games, a Gameboy Color and a Zelda SP if anyone is interested. See my Adverts link accross, cheers :-)

Same thing happened to me AFTER reporting all his stuff. Almost got caught out a second time

On the subject of Megadrive gear, here is the absolute MOTHERLOAD of dev hardware. Remember those really cool Mega CD dev units? Two of them in this lot. As well at **** loads of other stuff.

Collection only though

or else you can organize your own courrier.

I'm very tempted to bid and try to convince a mate to drive over!

I would for the price of the ferry trip, one of those dev units and a bag of chips.

If it goes for anything less than €300 I think we should organize a road trip. :pac:

Some haul of kit that. You reckon it might go that high considering he has no idea if anything actually works? As you always say, retro items not used for years can be a bad thing.

Why doesn't he just plug the bloody things in and test them.
He says he has all the power supplies etc.

Or maybe he did test them and they're all knackered so went with the old "working last time i checked".

.

Andrew76 · 12-12-2011 6:11pm

Aye, surely if you want to maximize the sale potential you'd check whether the item works or not. I'd read it like he's either too damn lazy to check or they're knackered, either way not worth putting any serious bids on.
