Shipping is a bit high.. but without a list of the games, why would anyone bid who isn't a reseller?

In the question section, seller claim he bought Hotman and California Raisins from a NIntendo employee in the mid 80s.

I just saw that. I'm calling BS though. That auction would be going for 100s more.

They look like leonk's repro carts.  Plus, I don't think California Raisens was started until the early 90s.

Auction is BS im almost positive they are the same copies my neighbor ran across the other weekend. he went to this flea market next to PA and there was a dealer there with hotman and CR and he wanted $50.00 each for them and my buddy said he guy ws like "man these are sooooooooo rare" and then my buddy was like "whatever u can get them online for a reproduction site. and then the guy was like "oh ok so u know about em then huh lol" anyways guy was a dealer and almost posititve this was him. im gonna bid and try to resell since its pretty local to me.

Both of those repros were available at CGE for $25 each, so I'm guessing that that's where he got them. NoA employee in the 80's... hahaha!

-------------------------

My mantra, as worded by SamSpade on 06/12/12:
I don't resell to fund my collection, I don't treat this hobby like a second job, I don't care if my collection is worth ten bucks or ten thousand because I never plan on selling it. Seriously, what does the value have to do with anything if you never plan on selling? Speculation doesn't mean jack shit to me at this point, I just want to play my nes games...

I pretty much asked seller why he was a hosebag and posing these as prototypes...though a little bit nicer.

If its the same guy that was local to me, (which im almost sure it is) then he told my friend he just got them online from a repro site lol.

And I quote here is what I wrote "Why are you lying about California Raisins and Hotman? Those are not prototypes. Those are reproductions. The difference is that NO they were not obtained from Nintendo ... they just had the rom burnt onto a different cartridge and a label slapped on."

Here is what was written back to me "The previous owner bought these from a Nintendo Employee...that is all we know...period!"

So he takes my statement...just assumes that even if he is wrong that he will still list it that way...tis sad really.

^ "even if he is wrong" ??? Dude, he was never trying to be right in the first place - of course he's going to continue on with the listing.
