Retro forum taboos: Why roms and not reproductions and pirate carts?

[Jack7]

this one made my blood boil: http://www.ebay.com/csc/ocdgamers/m....mplete=1&rt=nc
Whoever bought those NES earthbound repros is an idiot, the Final Fantasy II repros are even worse.

dammnnnnn 76 dollars? for a repro with bad box art no less. i went the gamereproductions.com route got the better looking red label for 30. wow, now i remember why i stopped dealing with ebay
