I paid over $100 for this game when it came out in Japan and was offered via mail-order. I was very suprised when I made of copy of it on a whim and the copy worked fine in my TG-16. I'd much rather play on the copy than use the original. That one sits on my shelf looking pretty.
But yeah, this guy clearly bought a burn, and that's just not right. What good is having a burn if you don't have the original to admire? I just don't understand these people...

Hmm, how much of a markup would that have been?

Maybe he just wanted to play the game?
I got so fed up with trying to get Snatcher for the Sega CD that I finally bought a burned copy for $5 just so I could PLAY the damn thing!
Either that or he's a idiot. :P

He's an idiot, make no mistake. We're currently trying to coach him through the process of reporting the guy and refusing payment :P

Did he hostly think he was getting a legit copy for $15? I think anyone would know better. The seller could not have been more honest and forward with his description. I am mot sure why any one would have a beef with him. As far as I can tell, he's providng the game to people who may not be able to afford the orginal, but still just want to play the game.

Wow, that really sucks. At least he didn't spend too much money on it. I remember seeing an auction for the same thing, except it went for a BIN of $50! At least that one came with a copy of dungeon explorer thrown in. :/

I actually was watching this item for a few days hoping it was true but knew it was most likely a scam. Oh well, if it's too good to be true, it probably is.

Well, I'd think that you would all be wise to the notice that it says COPY in red letters ;P

I actually didn't even bother reading to much into it becuase I firgured it was a fake at that price. Guess like i was right because here I go posting about it on the DP forums. LOL
