I was surfing International eBay yesterday and stumbled accross these little curiousities:

Pinochio

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=3545&item=8127751477&rd=1

& Extractors of the Hanging World of Zarg

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=3545&item=8127751570&rd=1

(No, I am not the seller. Smile )

Anyway, I know there is a site dedicated to unreleased C64 games, I was wondering if there was something similar for unreleased Amiga titles.

The seller has sold the same 'RARE!!!!' game before. It seems that he downloads ISOs off the Internet then burns the game to CDR and sells it as an *UNRELEASED* bargain that can't be missed...

Oooooh!!!

That sneaky, rude bugger!!!!

Thanks for the heads up Cody! I will ask the seller some questions on eBay. Let us see if he is really legit or whether he is selling cheap CD-RW knockoffs ! Very Happy

Here is what I sent him... I will keep you informed of any responses I may receive Wink

Dear plox66,

Hi Plox66, I am interested in bidding on this item, however there are a couple of questions I would like to ask: i) Is this an original copy, or (ahem) a "backup" copy? ii) How do you respond to comments made about you here: http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?t=13453

Cheers Smile

Here's Plox66's response:

Hi,

How can it be an original if it was never released? It
is the working game code on CD-R.



Regards

Yes, but these people are saying nasty things about you... They are
calling you one of the "dodgiest" Amiga dealers on eBay!

Are they just being rude, or are you really slow and "dodgy" as they say?

How do you respond?

Question sent to ebay member:

"
If I download the same ISO, and burn it on to CD-R, and sell it on ebay, will your auctions still be classed as ULTRA RARE?
"

I await his response.
