Brandi, I've noticed a lot of mentioning France in this auction thread. Is France infamous for bootlegging AES/MVS games? Obviously there are good and bad seeds everywhere in the world, but was just curious.
In this particular case the reference to France should not be taken as a clear sign of scam because almost all the B2B japanese copies that were sold outside Japana are in France actually..

But yes unfortunately many bootleggers and scam artists came from France:

Dang. It's either that Australian dude from the youtube video or someone who accidentally hit the "buy it now" button (I've done it before, my wife's laptop mouse went ape@#$% but luckily it was a $15 t-shirt and I kind of wanted it anyways).

How about this one? http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEO-GEO-AES-MVS-LOT-/290734952359?pt=Video_Games_Games&hash=item43b1274fa7 I think he'd be better off trying to part it out rather than sell it as an entire collection.

What the ROYAL fuck?!


LOL, love it.

Ha, yup. I'm now the proud owner of a Charles Bronson t-shirt that says "Justice" on it. I don't understand why he doesn't get the same acknowledgement that Chuck Norris does. Watch Death Wish 3, he kills 75-100 people in one 5 minute scene.

Using that logic, I'm buying this and selling it to the individual that spent $20K on NTM for $6,666.67.

$19.999 for NTM without manual?!? No way :shame:

He probably ended it as sold. The nintendo world is seeing this alot lately. Sellers are ending auctions as sold and relisting them cheaper under a different account. Effectively trying to artificially inflate that price..

We'll know when and if the buyer leaves a feedback for that seller.

ed: doesn't the seller have to pay the final value fee if the item is marked as sold?

Program rom update most likely unless it's an extensive fix that's needed.

But the MVS version of the ROM itself is unfixed in regards to zetsumei ougis, so this guy would have go out of his way to rip a fixed ROM off an actual homecart, flash it onto some eeproms, before installing onto that conversion.
