In Buy/Sell/Trade

I've seen several auctions that are funny to me lately and thought it might be a good idea for a thread.

Here's an auction for a "special" SNES:

HAHAHA! Are they trying to make a bigger profit by marketing that the system is yellowed? Looks like a mouth of a smoker with gum cancer.

Oooooooo. My friends SNES looks like that. How can they say thats "special"? On the box its normal color. It should say "Faded Edition"

it's nice and neat, and doesn't scroll the forums horizontally for 3 miles.



About the auction...

That's disgusting. the only way to fix that is to paint over it too...

thats the super left out in the sun smoking a newport edition exclusive to yards sales and flea markets ...super rare

thats it its mine! they had me at special edition, I think I'll also bid on some other "super rare", L@@K, and "hard to find" ebay auctions.

"tan" ???
I'd say that's disgusting... I don't know if I'd want to touch that thing...

I had one like that that I bought at a thrift store. Simple, it's because no one has cleaned it in a long time.

We know that, it's just the fact that they are advertising it as a limited edition kind of thing that's amusing.

Is this guys even allowed to do this? Hes selling a cd with NES ROMs and emulator for PSP..


I DID IT!

I never got the topic title at first and then I read on and when he said "tanned" I was like wait a minute...tanned, theres no tanned SNES I heard of...and then I saw the picture and clearly you can see that the underside is the original colour and the tops been faded. What a joker. BTW he got reported for the NES ROM auction.

Well the auction has been removed by ebay, so I guess that answers your question! Selling NES ROMs breaks ebay policy (it's copyright infingement) so any such auction will be removed if found/reported.

And what did you do?

Hehe, I had been trying for some time to get that linking thing down So i wouldnt get crapped on for changing the layout of the page or something.

Anyways, that auction was some PSP rom/emulator software, and he had pictures of NES Games on a PSP srcreen. It was up to 20.10 even before the auction closed. Dont they realize they can make it on teir own?

What the hell is this?

Looks like it's a Famicom game-cart with a picture of the band Kiss on the front, though the pic is so low res, it's difficult to say for sure.

*imagines a hack of Super Mario Bros. 2. with Kiss band members*

Hmm, actually there are 4 kiss NES ROM hacks of Nintendo Golf, each starring a different member of the band. If there was a legit NES game, I don't know what it was called. Offhand the only two games with Kiss in it I recall were a Pinball game, and "Psycho Circus", which was a first person shooter, so either I'm missing the NES game, or it's some kind of pirate cart.

its not NES its Fami-Com

Im fairly sure after commenting on the FAMICOM Cart, he mentioned a NES game with KISS in the title. He wasnt saying that The cart i showed was a NES cartridge.

PS: Kiss pinball?!?? KICK ASS!! I love pinbal. i bet that game R.U.L.E.S.

Okay, you tell me what's for sale here.

wow. i seee that alot with the POWer sellers, but this guy should have the time to list the right games..

i've played a real kiss pinball machine, right before it was auctioned off for nine and a half grand (AUD)..
