Man, don't get me started on the fake and repro debate.... I see them all the time at work and it drives me nuts.... I can't see how either can be good for collectors in ANY way.... Hell, even casual gamers are being hurt by them to be honest.... I had to tell a guy his US version of Terranigma was fake last week and boy was he heart broken.... So many scams on ebay.... |

Well fuck I think I got ripped off a couple of years ago. My sister and I used to play ps1 games when we were kids so I picked up a copy of Crash Bash (a game we played all the time) for like $35 and the bottom was silver and I didn't think of it until I looked at this thread and looked up how to tell if a game is fake. |

A guy in my class has been talking recently of buying stuff to change the data on SNES chips... And he explicitly said he wanted to sell fake Sword of Manas and Mario RPG and Earthbounds for full price because that was easy money. That pissed me honestly, and I told him so. I tried to convince him that it's not an appropriate thing to do, and he said he might sell ROMS and imports instead. And I really hope he meant it, and will not sell fake by saying they're real. >:( |

He has sold thousands of fake GBA and DS games on Ebay over the past year, and doesn't tell anyone they are fake. I am surprised Ebay hasn't banned him seeing how he has at least a dozen negative feedback rating regarding his games being fake. Not to the same extent, but he also sells fake Genesis, NES and SNES carts as well; I know he was selling fake Ninja Gaiden Trilogy and Wild Guns carts for like $80 each. I hate people that do this crap, and feel sorry for the people they scam. |
