    Default SNES Fakes warning - Fun N Games, Aero the Acrobat 2

    Fun N Games
    http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...tem=8165680934

    Seller is brinn1, says complete but missing box, instructions are PAL while game is ntsc. I asked about it and this is most of the response:

I have over 3200 ebay total positives from maybe 4500 ebay transactions over 7 years. Once in a while I run into some one like you. I understand your question about pal vs ntsc manual is important to you, but the manual cover is shown and I already told you its in several languages including English. If that fact and the cover itself doesn't help you out and its that important, don't bid. The cartridge is the ntsc cart, not pal. What you see is what you get. That's why I don't use stock photos. If you are still not satisfied, please do not email any more and please do not bid on my auctions.

    Mentioned on this site last week, seller is again listing it. It's a reseal most likely.


    EDIT:
    Aero the Acrobat 2 for the third time so far

    Mentioned on this site last week, seller is again listing it for a third time. Something's fishy going on. The same pic used in all 3 auctions.

    Wow. I hate sellers with nasty attitudes almost as much as I hate people who put every other sentence of an auction in a different color.

    Couldn't help myself. E-mailed the seller...

    Hey. You're a liar. It doesn't matter how many positives you have... looks like you're getting sick of selling. This is NOT complete, and the instructions are PAL. A plastic box does not make it "complete" you twit.

    Just do a search on his name (and some variations) and you'll find out. He's also the one that called Achika "Hitler" and was notifying other ebay sellers about auctions that were being mentioned here.

    Oh, so the good doctor brinn1 is still around eh? After reading that crazy thread, I'm staying as far away as possible from that guy at all times.

    And even if the aero is a reseal, it's pretty cheap and I'd love to have a complete copy.

    Default by the way

    by the way i have good reason to believe that brinn1 is not really even a doctor! Some body (I can't name) states he was last seen fixing a plumbing problem at his girlfriends house. This guy is a creap. Wouldn't touch him with a ten foot pole. Glad we got him nailed ASSHOLE

    Indeed, I saw right away that it was a PAL instruction manual. The symbol on it is the funny looking one Nintendo used for their PAL games, where as NTSC games had their own symbol.

    Why not just mention really quickly that the game is NTSC but the manual is PAL? And why say it's complete where there is no box?

    I don't have any prior contact with this guy, so I sent him a question asking him the above. I'll let you know if he responds.

    I just think that he's being a little dishonest. Would'nt a power seller know better? I'd rather state EXACTLY what I'm selling then risk PayPal chargebacks, negatives, etc.

    I imagine that brinn1 will be raging on the boards again if he finds out we've been talking about him. As I reccall he was blocked and returned under several user names to harass and rage for several days or a week or more. It was pretty wild!

    edit: About that Aero 2, it is possible that it is not a reseal. I have a William's Arcade's Greatest Hits that is authentically sealed but has a different seal than the H seal. I believe it might be a majesco re-release but I am not sure. I tried to get pictures but it turned out real blurry. This seal goes across the back of the box long ways and is an overlap of about 1 inch. I am almost 100% sure that it is authentic because inside the plastic seal there are some small paper scraps made from the original box cut that did not settle out before it was sealed up. You would have to see it to know what I am talking about. I'll try to get better pictures but the seal is very hard to show. If the Aero 2 has that seal it might be authentic FYI if the person who bought it is a board member.

    When it comes down to brinn1, don't waste your time. Wait and find a better auction. Who wants to buy something from someone with an attitude like that?

    I've never had the slightest problem dealing with steve. Quite to the contrary, he's always been a pleasure to deal with.
