Devin Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 Here's an auction of a Hozer "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" without any mention of it being a reproduction. eBay Auction -- Item Number: 320546716267 I wonder if the seller knows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
horseboy Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 He definitely knows. He has sold several of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetset Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 Yep. Tons of posts about this. Used to be you'd see one of these pop up once in blue moon. Now they're commonplace on ebay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpendTooMuchOnAtari Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 I can't believe it has 5 offers unless they were really low. Personally, I wouldn't even want one in my collection but I can see people just wanting to play it and have the game since the real deal is so expensive. It's not for me though, I don't like these Hozers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atari181 Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 Yup, he definately knows I have sent him an Email with nothing but a smart ass comment back. I have also reported him to Ebay, but to no avail. Yes lots of posts on this and wish everyone would report him so Ebay cannot ignore these people selling this shit.

+save2600 Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 (edited) I've never heard of a Hozer Repo... did he extend credit to someone in which they didn't pay? Now repro (short for reproduction) carts... yeah, there's a lot of hozer's (see Doug and Bob McKenzie) purchasing err.... Hozer "produced" games, where lots of pigeons (or not) are being duped thinking they're the real deal Edited July 28, 2010 by save2600 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Leach Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Why do these people continue to try and sell these games as if they were real? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, also my or your "authentic" cart ends up worth less because of the flood of repro carts. Halloweeen and Texas Chainsaw Massacre have been the big target as of late.

I thought this particular game was basically abandon-ware and no one currently holds the copyright. Anyone know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetset Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 I reported it as well. It usually takes several reports, sounds like we have at least three. Considering how offended this community supposdely is about this, there should be 30 reports (134 views on this topic so far). But, speaking of blind eye, half of those who do care can't be bothered with a few clicks. But it's Ebay's fault. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atari181 Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 This is exactly my point, 9 reports from this thread alone, yet Ebay hasn't taken the auction down. They really don't care. Every time I see this I report the seller, at least 15-20 I have done so. I have yet to see Ebay end any of the auctions. Why have rules if you do not enforce them.

Tickled_Pink Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 Why do these people continue to try and sell these games as if they were real? Pretty obvious why, they make money and Ebay turns a blind eye to it. And yet if they were counterfeit jeans then they'd be on it like a dot.

Every time I see this I report the seller, at least 15-20 I have done so. I have yet to see Ebay end any of the auctions. Why have rules if you do not enforce them. Yep. Agreed. I certainly stand corrected. Ebay USED to pull violations...it was always a 50/50 shot, it just seemed to depend on who at Ebay got the flag as to whether or not they'd do anything. And if it didn't get pulled the first time, you 'd report it a second at a different time of day and it would get pulled. Now seems like it's just total ignorance. Too bad you can't email the bidder like in old days to warn them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
