I emailed him about some carts and this was in one of his emails when I inquired about if the carts were 100% snk and legit ...

His reply

I say 100% original from SNK no bootlegs no copy, I open see inside the box
eprom is original parts.

Do you think he means that the eproms are SNK? If he opens the carts anyway, I would ask him to take a pic of the boards before buying from him. I have seen that guy sell a lot of Japanese kits also in the past, he says in the auction that they were from SNK when they were shuttiong down, but wouldn't that stuff just have been passed on to playmore?

KOF 2001 does have two EPROMs on the top board, those are indeed SNK EPROMs, they are actually in sockets! Cool if you ask me, since if anything was to happen to them they are easy to replace. I don't know which game you asked about, but I can tell you 2001 used EPROMs for sure

OK, yeah, those two deffinetly don't have any EPROMs, atleast not on my carts... So, have to say thanks for the warning! Looks like some of his stuff is legit, but why take the risk... Those 2001 carts look real to me, the cart case is the right color and that was the only game in that off white... still, guess some place could have copied that by now! Thanks for the warning,

Add another Boot Seller to the list.. oh_no

whitey · Jul 12, 2003

I dont understand why anyone on these boards would continue to buy MVS carts on ebay. There are so many boot carts around and many of the people that sell them don't even know what a boot is. Buy from known good sellers on the boards or mdgamesales, it is the safest way to go.

rudekid · Jul 12, 2003

i bought kof 2000 mvs from this guy and i have checked it and it is ok

So true!! There's so many people out there that aren't in the know like people in these boards. We can't hold those people up the same standards as us who know more than the typical gamer.

Nathan · Jul 12, 2003

Well, I think he probably does know that he has some boots. If you look at his auctions for Strikers 1945+ one is listed as 100% original in the title and the other is not.

<a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3232119018&category=13718" target="_blank">100% Original Strikers 1945</a>

<a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=13718&item=3232119019" target="_blank">Boot Strikers 1945</a>

We just have to keep our eyes open and stay away from suspicious auctions. eek!

chimpmeister · Jul 12, 2003

WTF? Many of his auctions (which all just ended) had the bids cancelled with this explanation:

The seller ended this listing early because of an error in the minimum bid or Reserve amount

JUST before they ended. INCLUDING both his Strikers 1945 Plus carts, of which it looked to me like one was a boot, and one was original (boot in black cart, original translucent blue).

Very suspicious. Looks to me like the seller wasn't happy with the ending bids for many of his auctions, and just cancelled all bids with that bullshit lame excuse above. Here are his final auctions, look to the second page for the Strikers carts. Quite a few were ended due to this same reason. oh_no

Definitely a sleazy seller, for sure. shame

Jedite · Jul 12, 2003

I saw one of his auctions, it was a Real Bout 2 game, and it showed screenshots of Real Bout. That auction is as fake as Britney Spears' silcon tits. That goes to show that he's a big tyme scammer.

Nathan · Jul 12, 2003

He's ended auctions early before these (see links below). I seem to remember he did this a few weeks ago with a Prehistoric Isle MVS cart. I hate when people do this! Just put a reserve on it or start it out at the price you want. :mad:

So far today he's ended 6 auctions like this. I wonder how many more he'll end like this today? I'm sure he's making a lot of good friends on EBAY doing this. shame

chimpmeister - it looks like he honored the bids on the bootleg Strikers after all.

Atro · Jul 12, 2003

That Strikers 1945 is a boot for sure. I had the original and it looked nothing like that.

avoid. wink

QnzNeoGeoChick · Jul 12, 2003

It is not cool! Bootlegging is not cool!!! very_ang very_ang Ebay buyers should definitely beware. frown

Uh...ok?

I think everyone has figured this out by now.... :rolleyes:

Bishamon · Jul 12, 2003

Shit, I was the high bidder on the legit Strikers cart when he cancelled the auction. :mad:

Dewclaw · Jul 12, 2003

This guy sucks, I was about to win Metal Slug 4 and one an MV-1C board from him for around 200 bucks when he just cancelled the auction. I didn't know he did that for all of his auctions, though...pretty suspicious.

Shin-Strider · Jul 13, 2003

I was bidding on one of his auctions a few weeks ago. I wasn't the high bidder, but I did get an ebay notice saying my bid was cancelled and the auction ended early.

Now I'm glad. I had no idea those were bootlegs.

Thanks for the warning.

Master Chenug · Jul 14, 2003

Thankz for the warnings about the bootleg eek!
