Who the hell has twelve of these?

Well he has sold 11 so far and just posted another. I messaged him to ask how he came across these. Granted he could have found an old box of these somewhere but it's starting to smell foul.

I asked why they haven't raised the price and gave a link to this thread.

It wouldn't be the first time someone has found a hoard of a bunch of copies of an NFR game, the guy that was selling all of those Zelda Spirit Tracks NFR's comes to mind. The way he is listing them is just odd though, and you would think he would up the price with the speed at which they are selling unless he has like a hundred of them and doesn't want to flood ebay with them all at once and is happy with getting $50 quickly. It's also a bit strange that he isn't answering questions more openly, but if he has a bunch he probably doesn't want to disclose how many he has. He does have A 30 day return policy so I guess if it's foul we can always return it.

Well will be interested to see how this plays out...I am thinking if he had a box of these they would still be sealed in plastic

But
1. He had ok feedback
2. Who would fake this?! But then again game collector gone bad...this is an easy one to fake
3. go after him with PAYPAL if they are fake

Should make a pact that if these sadly are fake we stamp them copy or destroy them....shouldn't be in the market

Seller replied back that they have 15...found them.
They aren't concerned about price...said most demos seem to sale for $15 and figured $50 was a good number.

Said they're selling so they're happy.

If that's true then there's on ly 3 left. If you're trying to find it, title no longer says not for resale. It now says demo.

Seller replied to me. I asked if they were copies he was making or these were original. Here is their response:

"I have no reason to believe these are fake I purchased them from a Philips tech from during the 90's."

I'd be wary paying $50 a pop for things like these. I have a handful of these myself (Hotel Mario and I believe Link: Faces of Evil) and considering they are already on CD-R discs, they would be easy to duplicate at home.

if these are CD-R it would be easy with any advanced recording software to check the quality/type of the media. Back then, 48x blank cd didn't exist

hmmm interesting...

I think the 'collection' answer is bs

And if you see the sellers other items for sale *sega saturn for 90 bucks , segacd,32x,genesis2 for 180*

I don't think this person knows about collection prices...

Hopefully they are legit copies of the game

Well he is down to his last copy if he was being truthful about having only 15 of these. I'm fairly positive we will know when we recieve these with little to no effort as to wether or not they are fakes. Lets hope this guy is not a scammer. It's sad that we collectors have to worry about these things. When I started collecting this kind of thing was unheard of, there were the pirate carts but you knew what you were buying, but of coarse back then the demand wasn't anything close to what it is now.

Well, I have been looking for this for A LONG TIME. I on an impulse buy got one. I have several other NFR CDi discs,so I will check it out and compare

Well let me know John as i'm sure you have more CDI NFR's than I do.

16 sold?

He might have mis-counted, he hasn't listed another one since. 

I do believe that I bought the last one. I bought a large lot of NFRs on ebay YEARS ago. I will do a comparison of them and report back to the group when it happens, unless someone else gets their shipment before me and can do it.

Received from the seller
" If you have any problems please let me know before leaving feedback I will do everything in my power to make it right. I purchased from an ex-Philips technician from the 90's who had a collection this is what the gentleman told me. "The discs were purchased years ago from the Philips Tennesee Headquarters and stored for years and forgotten until recently found." This leads me to believe the items are genuine, people find nos all the time. I have had lots of questions about this, I did tons of research as these appeared to be different from the European orange release but it is white like the rest of the ntsc cdi nfr's selling for $15. I read somewhere in my research the orange European release to valued up to $500 but I don't know enough about that to verify. I also read that cdi roms are not shareware like most roms from the time period so I figured I was safe there. Any other questions or concerns please feel free, sorry for being short before just loads of ?"

The red release is not a euro region release.

Anybody's ship out yet?

No, I'm in a border state so hope to compare soon.

Should get mine in the mail tomorrow. I received the same email as above from the seller. if there is a problem I will just return it

So your seeing it marked as shipped on eBay?

Correction. I checked with the seller. He is SHIPPING tomorrow. Will not arrive tomorrow. I was misled. Sorry for in turn for misleading you guys

Yeah, just told me tomorrow too.

Question is, which border state will get it first
