Yeah, if you need to buy a #2 pencil to get the games why isn't "#2 pencil" in the title of the auction?

What the fuck a #2 pencil get 30 games free,
i had to look over it 20 times to beleave what i was seeing.
Thats the funniest thing ive seen or heard all day,when your #2 pencil arrives with
30 games on a cd,you know you have to track him down stab him with the pencil,cut his head off with the cd,thats even if you get the cd or pencil.
Its not against ebay rules,there finding new tactics. <IMG SRC="smilies/ohno.gif" border="0">

Actually it IS against Ebay rules. His auction is for 30 Neo Geo home carts, he pictures one of Shawn's shelves of carts, but in the description he says you must buy a pencil to get the games for free. Not legit at all <IMG SRC="smilies/ohno.gif" border="0"> . . . complaint with Ebay Safe Harbor logged . . . <IMG SRC="smilies/makeface.gif" border="0">

Oh yeah i didnt notice the shelves has neo-geo.com written on it,it certainly doesnt sound legit,what i meant was is even though we no its bollocks ebay cant stop some mad guy giving away 30 games for a #2 pencil,lets say the guy is being truthul,ebay cant do anything about it,you can report it to ebay but you will have to explain in a lot of detail that you know for a FACT that the guy is not legit.We know its not legit its just it might be hard to explain to ebay cos its not outright saying:
"hey im not really giving games away its bollocks".

God these people just get worse <IMG SRC="smilies/veryangry.gif" border="0">

But we may as well face it, there isn't much we can do to stop this totally... we can keep reporting it to Ebay, but there will always be people out there doing this stuff. Anyway, at least no-one has been stupid enough to bid on it (yet) <IMG SRC="smilies/smile.gif" border="0">

Oh good it looks like it has been removed <IMG SRC="smilies/smile.gif" border="0"> If you click the link now, it says that it is an invalid item number.

Well, I reported it to Ebay and got this response:

Hello,

Thank you for writing eBay.

The auction you have reported has been ended by eBay. We appreciate the time you have taken to send this information to us.

So, it does pay to report this kind of garbage. As I have said many times in the past, I have no problem with people having and using emulation programs and ROMs, I just think it is disgusting when people try to make a profit from them on Ebay or other auction sites, when they had NOTHING to do with producing them.
