Atari_Bill Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Seems like there's been a ton of these on Ebay lately. Anyone know if this is real or fake? eBay Auction -- Item Number: 321062779338 I'm suspicious seeing as this seller has already sold 2 other copies in various lots. This seller has also sold 2 copies of X-Man that looks very faked (but never mentioned as such in listing). In the last few days yet another seller has sold multiple copies of this. Are we seeing a lot of faked copies or is this rarity down to about a 4 now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm suprised the seller got pos feed back for these two crap lot auctions with fakes thrown in for over 600.00 combinedeBay Auction -- Item Number: 321047165101 eBay Auction -- Item Number: 321040536835 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bennybingo Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 I love how the seller's eBay profile picture is of a Nissan Skyline GTR....I guess being that dishonest is one way to buy $100k toys. Or, perhaps he is just selling bootleg items to save up for that machine. Either way, I am also very surprised at the 100% positive feedback rating.

Mirage Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 He knows they are fake. I told him, but got no response. Of course he knows they're fake. People keep buying them, so he keeps making them. Some people have no shame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albert Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Isn't that just as illegal? Why does the price matter? A reproduction is worth whatever someone will pay for it. I think $50 is too much for a loose reproduction 2600 cartridge. All I did was offer to make them for half that price. If people can sell them on eBay for $50 a pop, more power to them. I really don't care what people pay as long as the games are clearly described for what they are. Unfortunately, many eBay sellers are not describing these cartridges as reproductions, so at least some people are buying them thinking they are getting an original copy of the game. Not only that, some sellers are being further disingenuous by including one of these carts with a bunch of common 2600 carts to further make it look like an original game. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattG/Snyper2099 Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 I am very aware of the seller crazybaugh and also think he should not sell games unless he clearly states they are reproductions. I also know that if you use any of the below words in ANY video game auction on ebay, it will be removed very quickly: Reproduction Not the Original Release Not Original Re-release Reproduced Reprinted Prototype So, he should just not sell repro games period if the labels are not VERY different. Problem here is that the seller can't describe the game acurately because the auction will get pulled. I personally feel any "reproduction" Atari game that was ever sold should have a VERY different label as to not confuse it with an original release. Also, crazybaugh is clearly a theif and should not be trusted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulBlazer Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Totally agree that any reproduction should state on it somewhere that it is one. Also, auction will get pulled if it's called a reproduction in the TITLE, but I've seen NUMEROUS cases where the seller stated in the TEXT what it was and it's closed and sold just fine. If the buyer doesn't read the text at that point, well, that's their fault. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
