This is what is wrong with some folks!!

[ASSEMbler]

everyone reading this use the report feature on ebay please.

[r34per]

are people really that desperate for money? lol

[Martin]

What do we report it to ebay as? Copyright infringement?

[Bad_Ad84]

counterfeit goods maybe? copyright would work too.

ebay just got slammed in the EU - basically they are responsible for counterfeit goods on their site.

And so they should be. They always used to tear down my computer sales if I didn't state I had all original OS discs etc.

[Bramsworth]

Looks like it sold? :(

Things like this just really aren't encouraging for anyone that releases rarities such as that. I wish these morons would realize they're hurting the chances for more people being willing to share when there's the possibility of idiots like this only looking for profit.

[Yakumo]

Just went to report it but found out you need an account. No report from me then :( I hope everyone else with an account will report it though.

It didnt sell look at his feedback

[Bad_Ad84]

That was a good idea - I forgot that sellers cant leave negative feedback.

Worst case, the guy will get a non payment strike that will last 3 months.

[RaZiel]

Wow eBay sucks as I reported it last night within an hour of listing. Glad someone did that to him and thanks to all those who reported like me.

EDIT


Crook selling counterfeit game. loose-logic

Good job loose-logic!!

[Trenton_net]

That works. Bid a crazy amount to win the auction, then never pay up stating the item is fake. The guy even admits it in the auction listing. I doubt eBay would strike you for that. Though, eBay is pretty stupid. Who knows.

[G0dLiKe]

reported.

[derekb]

I didn't get to see the auction, fwiw everyone was sure he actually did burn his own gd-r copy and didn't happen to have a legitimate developer copy right?

[RaZiel]

Yes he said it was a copy in his auction. The cover he printed was all he would show but you could see it was a cheap repro cover printed at home.

[derekb]

oh I misread the topic too, thought it said GD-R

[RaZiel]

Here look for yourself as he is listing it again!!! Please help me report this!!

[Martin]

Done. Again.

[RaZiel]

This guy doesn't seem to get it about selling bootleg games!!

EDIT

Anyone want to help me drive the bid sky high?

RE-EDIT

100% sure it is a CDR as here is what he had to say when I asked.

What a moron, that thing is only worth the price of the CD-R it's burned on. Crap like this is what puts into perspective also what's so bad about reproductions.

Reported! :nod:

Reproduction labeled clearly as such is one thing. This is a bootleg plain and simple.

[Bramsworth]

And that's the problem most of the time, they try to be "authentic" by putting official seals of quality and artwork and not noting anywhere it's a repro. That's how most are anyway. Sucks since this stuff eventually can get out into the wild no matter how much someone thinks they won't be selling it, and that causes a whole mess of problems ala rayltd or whatever and those Shenmue betas he was hawking.

[RaZiel]

Thank you!!

[ServiceGames]

Thank you all for taking care of this.

[Lum]

I second that. I'd also like to see reproductions of CD fan translations and protos. CD-R copies with typical hand written titles are so ugly. Paying for a proper quality label + case inserts sounds OK to me.
