Woah! I missed this. What happened?

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

My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with the girl who saw Ferris pass out at the Let's Play Gaming Expo last night. I guess it's pretty serious.

Oh, my WTB thread is very popular. The sportos, the motorheads, geeks, sluts, bloods, wastoids, dweebies, Richard craniums - they all adore it. They think it's a righteous thread.
I'd also like to add that I've got my father's gun and a *scorching* price guide for aftermarket Nintendo games.
Between Dragon Warriors and nothing... I'll take Dragon Warriors - for any of my FT/FS/FO items.

It doesn't even have security screws. And the rear label is from a 5 screw black box cart.

I don't think screws would determine the legitimacy, and aren't a lot of the black box labels found on other earlier production carts as well?

Not to mention, it is missing the TM logo to the right of Samson and its missing the flapping motion from the dragon wings to the right of the "N" of Samson.

The question is now, is it s true Little Samson boad on the inside that got a new housing? Has anyone asked for pictures of the board?

NA is on fire catching fakes this week. Good work.

Edit: Sorry, those appear to be Dragons to the right of the "N", not the flapping of the wings from the Dragon in the foreground. Either way, they are still missing on this label.

Good points. All in all this looks like a pretty good fake though. Lots of newer collectors would not notice. The seller must just be really hoping the buyer doesn't look at the board?

Is this the same guy that was on here recently trying to pimp a fake 5-screw LS before he was called out and left?

What an obvious fake that is getting bid up over $400!

This hobby is starting to suck.

Its an obvious fake to myself, but ive been doing this for awhile.

Someone that may only be getting into the hobby the past year probably wont notice. This is a pretty good looking fake. That label is pretty decent, aside from the colors. The fakes are getting scarey.

Ha pretty funny one of the reviews on the eBay game is Nick Morgan's old eBay account....

I'm betting that 5-screw SE was as fake as this cart is!

Looks like the auction was ended with less than 24 hours to go, but the cart has been relisted with this addition to the description:

NOTE***** WE HAVE ENDED THIS AUCTION ARE ARE RELISTING IT ***AS IS*** BECAUSE OF THE MESSAGES WE HAVE RECEIVED FROM EBAYER'S WHO HAVE CONCERNS WITH THE FACT THAT THE CASE HAS 5 SCREWS INSTEAD OF 3,. WE ARE A BUY AND SELL SHOP AND THIS GAME CAME IN WITH MANY OTHERS- ALL WE KNOW IS THAT IT WORKS AND HAS BEEN TESTED IT IS POSSIBLE THAT THE BOARD INSIDE IS ORIGINAL AND IT WAS PUT INTO A REPLACEMENT CASE. WE ARE NOT GOING TO OPEN IT UP BECAUSE THEY ARE VERY TIGHT AND WE DO NOT WANT TO DAMAGE IT. THIS IS WHAT WE HAVE BEEN TOLD.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/161236336...

It's already over $100. How sad.

Ugh, the coloring of the label is clearly off. It's way too blue. It's also too glossy.

They ended that one early too. The third listing has these two additions to their wall of text:

THE BACK OF THE CASE READS NINTENDO PAT.PEND. MADE IN JAPAN. CAN IT BE POSSIBLE A EARLY PROTOTYPE? WE ARE NOT EXPERTS AT VINTAGE GAMES!!!!!!

THIER WILL BE NO REFUNDS ON THIS GAME FOR WE ARE NOT SELLING IT AS AN ORIGINAL LITTLE SAMSON OR A REPRODUCTION LITTLE SAMSON BECAUSE WE REALLY DONT KNOW AND WE ARE NOT NO NINTENDO EXPERTS!!!!!!
