Wrong indeed. I'm sorry, but it certainly does require Neo Geo study for proper diligence. If you don't know the product you're buying, then you shouldn't be buying it. If you go out and buy a huge Ford Expedition SUV with a V10 Engine, you can't return the vehicle later because it gets crappy gas mileage. I never pay money for a product which I am not familiar with. If the seller did in fact see another Metal Slug 2 auction which sold for over $1,000 and then say this one for $450, he should've either e-mailed Kenny as to why it was so much cheaper or he should've looked into why it could be cheaper. I've seen what looked like really good deals on eBay before too, but I never bid on them without looking into it first. There's absolutely no justification on the buyer's behalf to get out of an auction simply because he didn't bother to look into it first. My God, he spent $450 on this item and is upset because it's got flaws when compared to other units of the same item which sell for much more? I mean come on, that's just ludicrous. Deep discounts always have a reason for being so. That's just simple general consumer diligence.</strong><hr></blockquote>
The minimum of diligence required does NOT include to :
-email the seller if the price is too low(! now that's really ridiculous)
-figuring out different meanings of the word conversion
Infact judging by the header and by the PICTURE(which BTW Kenny I know it is REAL picture of the item for sale,but that's is deceptive anyway without any watermark) a lot of buyers will be cheated by the auction.
I have see a lot of home carts auctions.
I thought it was the real deal as soon as I saw the auction.
With me,LWK and other experienced collectors.
So,when Kenny calls his auctions catchy,claiming he has no control on the bidders,I DO know the reason it went so high.
Unuseful again mixing up all personal experience you may have had with Kenny.
We are just trying to understand what someone paid so much for a:
FAKE-BOOTLEG slug 2 home cart
Kenny says the auction was a catchy auction
I say the auction was deceptive and I'm sure all elements are there to be seen if you will.
HONESTY and FAIRNESS are NOT synonyms
