yeah its a boot...I emailed that deuschbag too...no response back of course. Neo Bomberman was JAP only he lists as English version, and in that auction he even says "original label" if it were original it wouldnt be in English, and he also uses the standard im-selling-boots lingo like "100% working" "as-is".....I could be wrong as always without seeing the gu6ts...but I would say boot

the few times I won auctions for boots, before I paid, I emailed the seller and just straight up said "Upon furthur reading the descriptions of your auction, I am led to believe that this game may be a bootleg. If you could please open up the cart and take pictures to be emailed to me, or prove to me in some way that iot is not a bootleg, I will be more then happy to continue with this purchase, however I absolutley WILL NOT pay for a bootleg.".......or something to that effect. Most of the time they will either provide proff its not, say ok and sorry cause it is a boot, or throw a whiney baby shit fit and try and tell you that your bid is a contract yada yada yada...tell them to fuck off and die and stop selling boots if that happens....ebay cant make you do jack if its a bootleg. There you go. Hope it helps.

Yes, I would explain to eBay that you did research and found this auction to be a fraud. They can remove auctions even after they are finished, and he won't be able to leave you negative feedback if they do!

Not that it would protect you from boots, but sniping is the only way to get anything from ebay. The retards that bid a hundred times with one dollar increments don't have much of a chance if you move all in when you snipe. Bid what you are willing to pay and the one cent increment retards won't get your stuff usually.

I usually get what i want for a decent price, but when it comes to rare titles its a nightmare, in the end i always get what i want but it take weeks and in some case months to find the item again.

Ebay's not bad once you learn what to watch out for. Take a close look before bidding.
