Normally I don't buy games off craigslist unless its a lot or something really good.  WAY to many people trying to sell there rare Super Mario 3 for $15 and even more rare GOLD ZELDA for $20.  meh. 
Was talking to this lady for over a week or so.  Finally had the chance to meet up.  Plan was to get castlevania 3 for $4.  Been collecting for less than a year still and have 245 licenced loose games.  She brought a bag of other games she found, and we worked out a price for the bag.

When you see it.



WOW thats sooo cool. More pics please! Make an identifier card to put in your pics (basically right next to or on the cart for your images protection. Speaking of the cart the color is off compaired to the other carts in the pic.

Fake.

Edit: IMO... jeeze.  One word and I am a "douchebag asshole."  Interesting.

While I can definitely understand peoples skepticism, (and with good reason - that label is really bubbly and faded looking) why not wait for some definitive proof before jumping on the "ITS FAKE" bandwagon. It makes you sound like a real douchebag asshole... give the guy a chance to prove it. If it turns out to be fake, so be it - I'm not gonna argue, but I'm also not gonna call him out until there is more proof.

Isn't this how it always is with rare finds..

People are very surprised and congratulate the poster. This then turns unto suspicion..

Let's not rush to judgement before the board picture is posted.

If it is real, total congratulations are in order. I just think that the label looks much too white and pretty to be on a cart that looks that dirty and grimy.

Considering there were total DOUCHEBAGS at the Portland Retro Gaming Expo selling SE cart fakes and not even labeling them as repro's until we all ganged up and bitched to the show promoters AND this guy lives in Portland... FAKE ALL THE WAY!

I think scottys point is valid if you know enough to know its 'rare' know enough to take a LOT a pics of every aspect

Those go for about 12 bucks on etsy.com. Be cool if it was legit, but I have my doubts. Although I could be wrong.

All I know is that if I had found this, I'd be refreshing this page replying to all comments/questions in my excitement. It would end a decade search, and I'd be stoked as fuck.. not just have 1 pic of it.
