If they say it is a repo/fake you would be out of luck. --- End quote --- Doesn't matter. If they're bootleg, then they're bootleg, whether he mentions it or not. --- End quote --- yeah but at least if they say they are the person buying them cant really say they didn't know if it is in the title or description. That was what I was trying to get at. At least that way the seller covers there own ass by saying "Yeah it is not an original so don't expect one" Is he wrong for the way he listed the posting? yes completely. The seller is 100% at fault. Do I care if people sell repo/fakes? As long as they say they are so the buyer is not scammed I think it is fine. |

I they were: - Pocky and Rocky 2 - Turtles 4 with infinite health (yep impossible to die). - Castlevania 4 - Final Fight Guy - Final Fight 2 - Legend of Zelda Parallel Worlds Redone 1.1 - Dragon Ball Z game in English (I think it was the RGB one). - Ramna ½ in English. I bough them as a lot IIRC and I paid less than 20 euros each including postage. |

Repro/ Fakes are such a touchy subject... For me, I have no problem with repros of games that would not have been available here, or with mods (Earthbound Uncut, Japanese>English, etc.) How else are we supposed to play these outside of an emulator? Counterfeit games, listed as legit, are obviously not okay. |

Ya, for me games that are either unreleased, one-region only, hacks, or home-brew are OK. I'm not a HUGE fan of repros of real games (unless they are clearly labeled as such) but they're fine, I just don't buy them personally (yet anyways). Fakes are NOT cool though. It's lying to people in order to make a quick buck. These bootleggers are the scamming scum of the retro gaming community and only hurt people. Hope we can get rid of this guy. |
