Ebay Discussions (all). Ebay item links and USER auction links part 6

Am I the only one to consider this a bit fishy?...

Well, it looks legit. But on the other hand, it's pretty much one of the lamest autions to advertise a console that seems to be existing only 1 time

 

Well at first I wasn't convinced, until I saw they'll include "actual Microsoft emails" to verify its provenance :lol:

 

Yeah, even if it isn't legit, and you decide to just buy it for the rocks, how on earth are you gonna determine whther those things are realor not? I for sure can't

Yeah, that did it for me to I mean, seriously, how difficult can it be to make a nice letterhead and signature, and fake the sender of an email? How is that gonna convince anyone?

But thumbs up for trying, now it'll be fun to see if someone actually bites:thumbsup:

 

Now look what our very own Japan-games has put up for all you Nintendo FAM fans out there

Nintendo Punch-Out Gold Cartridge, boxed, instructions, and looks brand spanking new, not a single scratch or blemish - http://tr.im/u37y

Some odd Nintendo Famicom Cart Super Mario Bros. Syndrome that may or may not be a promo? Ideas anyone? - http://tr.im/u38P

 

Please stop using mini urls, are you adding affiliate info to the urls?

It sure looks like it.

trksid=p4634.c0.m14&_trkparms=|293%3A1|294%3A30

 

If he gets enough hits, he may get a shiny new decoder ring. :katamari:



and on a side note, That Gold Punch-out listed looks pretty legit. You can always fake a gold plated cart, but the box for the grey cart is completely different, no?

I don't get anything out of it at all, the only reason I do it is.

a) Because I hate those ginormeous URL's you get from eBay

b) Because I get stats, so I can if somebody actually cres to read what I post, or if it just goes by unnoticed, just for kicks:dance:

You should try using it here: tr.im. It's a URL-shortening service primarily for twitter users;-)

I don't, not for now at least;-) I don't even own a Famicom I have a hard time raising money for my goal of an absolutely complete DC collection

But if I start collecting Famicom one day, which I probably will, I only wan't boxed items in my collection;-)

It sure looks suspicious, but there's no real proof anything "illegal" happened, is there?

Hehe, nope, no decoder ring for me

I have no doubt Japan-Games is selling the real thing, wasn't the gold cart i referred to;-) Was the Swarovski XBOX i was referring to;-)

 

No more short urls. Post the real link.

 

Fair, never realised it would piss anyone off, was never my intention:/

 

To legitimately get a short Ebay URL, copy the item #, search for it on Ebay, then cut off everything past the item # in the new URL. So you get:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=350225569912

You can also just copy/paste any item # into this format.

 

Okay, I'll remember that:thumbsup:

Nice system, although the price seems a bit high. Are you the seller?

 

Thats good for what it comes with, I suppose. Ive seen better but thats about the average rate.

 

Dreamcast Code Veronica STARS #001 (of 200):

(not the seller)

 

Warning - that STARS DC sticker looks fake!

That's how a legit STARS DC sticker looks:


And now the STARS DC on Ebay:

 

On this picture, the sticker isn't even there.
