Who knows, I could be wrong through

They're all repros made by a group called TimeWalk. Some people are willing to pay a decent amount of money for some of TimeWalk's stuff but $9000 is a bit much. :P TimeWalk used to have a website you could but their repros from, but they closed down a while ago. Some of the stuff they made were pretty cool and had a lot of effort put into them.

Here's a good article to read if you want to learn more about TimeWalk: http://www.retrocollect.com/Articles/interview-with-spencer-of-timewalk-games.html (http://www.retrocollect.com/Articles/interview-with-spencer-of-timewalk-games.html)

I've reported the listing to eBay. I'm not letting anyone get scammed out of nine grand over bootleg games, and most importantly, we romhackers do not like to see our stuff get sold.

You can buy any of these repro's for about $30 then buy the repro boxes for another $20-$30.
So each game is worth about $50-$60 a piece at best. Adding a seal on these makes no difference to repro's.
The total value is $750 max. The guy is trying to rip someone off.
The one game in this lot i feel is deceiving is Stadium Events, you know it has to be a repro due to everything else is.
But someone who doesn't know better might fall for this. So ya I hope Ebay removes his auction.
