Its too bad GameStop dont sell Classic games just curret games or I'd buy from them.  If its a game store why not sell all games then.  All their stores I been to are all very small and dont know why.

They do, sort of  They offer retro games via thier point system. I don't do business with them so I don't know the power up thingy.  I know a copy of Super Mario Bros. for the NES is 25-26,000 points.  No that isn't a typo.  Unless that has been changed recently.

eBay won't do anything about it.  They make money from sellers, not from random internet nerds with too much time on their hands.  Unless the copyright holder comes forth themselves, eBay doesn't care.

If he has a tri-wing screw driver.   :-\

Most GBA bootlegs I've ran into use tiny phillips head screws.

Actually the Breath of Fire II cart I posted the pic of had a tri-wing in it.  They were gettin fancy with that one. LOL


--- Quote from: AppleQueso on April 02, 2012, 02:36:29 AM ---UncleBob's being a bit overzealous here I think. I honestly doubt that the vast majority of ebay sellers (especially US ones) have any clue they're selling a bootleg. I don't think we should be jumping down this guy's throat or trying to punish him for it.

So, at what point does this guy get to be held accountable for his actions?  He's gotten several feedbacks saying what he's selling is counterfeit.  Patrick, here, has contacted him telling him it's counterfeit - and he's already selling the exact same auction on eBay again.

When does he have to take responsibility for what he sells?

He does need to to be held accountable.  I would definitely contact Ebay over this.

Send Nintendo the Auction link?

I've done a bit of that.

Even got one of those stupid mall kiosks selling 10,000-in-1 crappy NES ROM hacks on a chip things shut down once. :D

However, in this particular case, I'm giving a burned buyer information on how to best proceed. :D
