Do people just not look at the photos they are uploading?  A BMW really?

[EDIT] Ohhhh, it's canada/swiss.  That makes sense. 


He says in the description that its a pic of his car and its been there since he put the auction up. Leads me to believe he did it intentionally. Why?  Who knows!
All is well. :)

And check this out -> Shipping 30$ - Local to World Wide. No if and buttts - And No Free ship. Ebay will not adjust shipping charges.
I reported this.
clearly a scammer.
doubt anyone who buys this stuff will see it.
NW: Hey, I made it on this psycho's Enemies' List, how about that ?? ;)

BT: Look at how the fake SFII' carts instantly sold out and were immediately listed on eBay before the flippers even took possession. Look at Nintendo's overpriced bricks. Look at the typical forum discussions elsewhere.

You can't tell most retro gamers anything!

Well, maybe its to let bidders know exactly where the money from the sale is going towards: To help pay his BMW, fugly rims and gas for the road trips to the Rockies.

There are tons of things in this guys auctions that I'm sure people would love to point out.  What I'm curious about though is the game case.  So in this guys wonderful grading system he made up, shouldn't the fact that this game not being in an original case have anyting to with it's grading? If I'm not mistaken, the only US Turbo game that came with the case, and have a clipless case, was Keith Courage.

"NON RETAIL VERSION (Working Designs Version)"

As opposed to the millions not sold by Working designs.  :lol:

That just goes to show what grading bullshit is worth.

I wasn't sure why I hadn't visited this website until this very post, but I did.  What a blast from the past!  It reminds me of websites from 1992 when the internet was in its infancy.  I love this headline;

"Be A True Video Game Curator - Preserve Your Video Game!"

At least they use Curator.  That's not a bad word actually.  I think I like it.
I'm busy playing pinball, but I still drop by to visit.

How dare you question him. He's been collecting for 26 years and clearly he said he knows what he's doing.
All is well. :)
