    [/MOD EDIT]

    First of all, it seems fake, second, even if it is number 001/200 it's stille waay overpriced.

    I payed roughly 2200USD (including Rinkya fee) for mine, when I bought it a couple of months ago from Japan-games Yahoo auction.

    Yes I thought it looked a bit dodgy, not as shiny as the proper sticker. Dear oh dear, some people eh? :rolleyes:

    It's not just the color of the sticker - look at the position of the numbers / logos. It's different from the original sticker. It's 100% fake!

    A STARS DC without sticker is o.k. - there were 30 Dorimaga contests STARS DCs without sticker produced. I'd one of those units besides a stickered STARS myself.
    But editing a sticker and then even 001/200 is totally lame!

    System Menu ver 1.15

    That's a bit outdated. :(

    Serial number is also in the wrong place and the wrong size. It's located exactly where a retail serial number sticker would be located, not where an RVT sticker would be located.

    I'm not saying that this is a scam as I don't know the seller, but the serial sticker sets off alarm bells as that's exactly the sort of thing you'd expect to see from someone who swapped out a faceplate on a retail unit.

    A BIN of $500 is *extremely* low for one of these things. No one who has an RVT (especially someone who is citing other auctions) is going to sell a unit that cheaply. Of course, if you bought a retail unit, did a faceplate swap, soft modded it and included a DVD-R burn of a game, $500 would be a tidy profit.
