Hmmmm .... that starting price looks a little steep for an improperly done conversion.

Improperly? There's a lot of conversions done with fan-made artwork. It's those conversions I respect because they're not trying to pass the game off as something it's not (presentation-wise).

Either way, isn't the discussion/sales of conversions against the rules now?

I just think the artwork looks goofy, IMO. I'd much rather have an MS cart that's very close to the original with some kind of subtlety to distinguish it from the original. And you don't have to slaughter the original artwork to let the buyer know that it's a convert - just make it apparent in your auction!

And yes, discussion of converts is against the rules, but I don't think most people would have a problem with us making sure the nubs don't blow their wad on a convert thinking it's the real thing.
