I mean it's not a bad thing but the system would probably sell for more if it had an FM Sound Mod installed also.

From an ebay auction. You got a cart with a scratched label, you got an empty box... all you need is a couple of stickers and a ballpoint pen.
Voilà! A matching kit!

(To the seller's credit, he's not selling it as "matching kit", but I still find it quite hilarious).

LOL very creative.

Also gonna @lithy to make note of the cart shell and guide colors. Note: some clear MS3 carts have the red guide, others have the clear guide.

The most common seem to be red and blue. 😉 Never seen a clear one now that I think about it. This has the red one.

Is someone trying to manipulate the price on this? These listings for NGCD Big Tournament Golf are getting bolder. There isn't even a photo of the item.

If you look at the seller's other items they've just listed up the whole NGCD catalogue thereabouts, with no pictures of any game. I don't think they own any of them, I think they're just a reseller, who will make a strong effort to source the game if someone buys one at their gay prices.

They must not have looked very closely. There are already so many listed at a (relatively) lower price.

Well that's the point, it costs nothing to list them on eBay, if some sucker wants to pay more because they like the ad or whatever the rip off seller can just ask one of the readily available other copies to be sent to their customer and pocket the difference. It's a very old eBay tactic that always goes to shit.

Well, best of luck to them - Japan isn't exactly awash with copies of BTG for NGCD.

Do not buy this. I bought this cheap converter because I wanted an injection-molded case for my Furrtek Fusion converter, but when it arrived it was completely different from the one on the listing. What I received was 3D-printed, and much smaller than the AES cart slot, so it was almost impossible to align it and insert it.

I only managed to get it properly inserted once, with a lot of fussing, and it didn't work! I gave up after that though because it's not worth the risk of damaging my console. Waste of $100 or so.

Like I said, I didn't want a 3D-printed one. Not a fan of the Furrtek case. I'm going to be using this converter more going forward, I thought it would be nice if it wasn't naked. I've been looking for a decent deal on one for a while.

I figured if the insides of this thing work okay I could give it away to someone here if anyone wants it.

Yeah, it sucks. Injection molding usually requires actually manufacturing though.

Are we enemies now? I don't want to be.

You goobed up. ABS usually = 3D Printed. Again, its the same case listed Here Have it printed in resin for 20 dollars. 🧈 smooth to calm the 'tism. The amount of money people have made ripping off the fusion is staggering. Surprised you would contribute.

You're right. It was always my plan to get a JGO one or something else just for the case, but I suppose I did contribute to those assholes. I goobed up.
