Title: fullnelson's other Turbografx CD system. ;-)
Post by: kattare on September 08, 2009, 11:41:54 AM
UPDATED RELISTED URL: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=330359427116

Here's the repaired one that used to be fullnelson's, starting the package at $99.95:

I fixed it up with a kss-220a laser + mechanism.  It'll never have the dreaded TG-CD gear issue with this revised mechanism.

Cheers.

You know that Dungeon Explorer doesn't have a save feature, right?
Just in case some buyer cries libel against you...that's all. Best of luck.

Doh!  Gonna have to fix that.  Thanks!

Double Doh.  Ebay pulled it for violating copyright infringement policy!

Guess region converters aren't allowed?  But they don't say that.  They say it has a mod chip in it... bastards.  I wonder who reported it.  I had down near the bottom that I would include a Kisado Style region converter + JP System 3.0 Card + Street Fighter II for an extra $175.

How does a region converter allow copyright infringement exactly?  Cripes.

You have to be very careful with your choice of words when listing stuff on ebay. I had an item yanked for mentioning "region converter" too.

I doesn't allow copyright infringement, but anything that circumvents measures that control media access is technically illegal under the DMCA.  There is an exemption for obsolete formats; I'd think that HuCards would qualify, but maybe not since machines from both regions are readily available.

Ebay only seems to do something when someone complains (i.e. - you've ticked off a competitor), so you might want to avoid mentioning the region converter specifically and say something vague like "8PDT switch installed for increased stability".  Most everyone will know what it's really for, and those that don't know will likely ask.

Man... what gets me is that it's 99% community driven... Someone has to report it... so what knuckleheaded jerk is reporting this stuff?

My guess is it's the game_squad dude.  He's the only seller left with region converters in his listings: 230341792238 and 350241000129

... and I could totally see him seeing me as a threat... my stuff is 1/2 to 1/3 the cost of his.

I relisted it after an ebay rep removed the violation for me... retarded, they wouldn't pull the game_squad listings with the same converter in 'em, so they had to give on mine.  heh.

Guess the power seller status carries some weight there.  They can get away with anything, but in this case it buys me an out.  ;-)
