Silverspoon Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 I have an interested buyer of my 2nd copy of Bounty Bob but they want to open it up to make sure its not a fake. I cant find any info on how to authenticate it tho. What would you do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R.Cade Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 I wouldn't open it. If it can't be authenticated by the label and case by photos, I guess the buyer needs to pass it by... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FND Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 I would send high resolution scans of the label, cart back and ends. But I would not open as the label looks very good andthe chances of damage are very high. If they want to open it would be up to them but I would not accept a return if they didbasically it would be an as is sale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Allan Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Isn't the cart case unique to Big Five Software? You can fake a label and fake a box and manual, but your not going to fake the plastic cart case. If the details of the cart of both Bounty Bobs you have look identicle, than I really doubt it's a fake. No one is going to have a cart case made for thousands of dollars to sell a cart for a thousand bucks. Allan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverspoon Posted February 22, 2015 Author Share Posted February 22, 2015 You guys all have excellent points and thanks for the great replies. Luckily this guy is local and he is a good dude so I have no problem inviting him over to my house to inspect everything in person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariBrian Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 I would let him test it to make sure it works . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPUWIZ Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 It is difficult to make a fake BBSB, it requires a special PCB and bankswitching logic. One guy made repros of it at some point, but those would not fit inside a proper BigFive cartridge case. Besides, you would have to sacrifice a real BBSB, which kind of defeats the purpose.
