    I really like this from the feedback:
    Buyer: It did not recover any usable data
    Seller: MY LISTING STATES YOU MAY NOT GET WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR!!!
    Everything the guy responds to he does with vitriol.

      There are some great ones there...
      Buyer: The FREEWARE program works fine. The seller was difficult to deal with.
      Seller: ORDERED IT, 5 MINUTES LATER ASKED WHY HE DIDN'T RECEIVE IT YET!!! FREEWARE???
      Buyer: Didn't work. Notified seller. Nothing.
      Seller: My software did what it was suppose to do. Problem: Your computer!!!
      Buyer: Not the original version of Tetris, but okay for the price.
      Seller: IF A CERTAIN VERSION WAS IMPORTANT TO HIM, HE SHOULD HAVE ASKED!!!
      Buyer: unbefriedigendes Ergebnis, habe mir mehr davon erhofft
      Seller: Feedback was not in English! Never wrote to me with any problems!
      Priceless. Guy sounds like a dream to deal with.

    Shortly after the original Beats of Rage (SNK mod of the Streets of Rage engine) was first released in 2004, it didn't take long for an Ebay listing to appear that declared it was THE RAREST DREAMCAST GAME THERE IS!
    Of course it was nothing but a burnt CD with the game on it, complete with the printed case images and inserts. I guess they thought adding the printing for free justified the $2,000 (or more) price they were asking for...

    Dude here in Brazil this type of scumbag seller is so common. In "MercadoLivre" (our local Ebay equivalent) there are scumbags who put books for selling and when you look into the item descriptions it is in fact a PDF file! There are also people who sell "complete pokedexes" where they request you to send over your Pokemon cartridge to them so they can run a hack device on it to input the pokemons.

    I attended a convention called TooManyGames back in June of this year. I came across a seller that had NES cartridges of the ROMhack, Super Mario Bros 3mix. I asked the seller if he knew Captain SouthBird (ROMhack creator) and the seller did not know who that was.
    He was charging $70 for the game, sure it came with a custom box and manual, but I did not buy it. Especially considering the game still have gamebreaking bugs and incomplete, so he's selling an almost unfinished game.
    That's some shady shit, forreal, like ROM are ripped from the game, that's worse than illegal and should be punished.

I'm not advocating for an illegal act, but it's just as illegal to buy the rom as it is to download your own for free.

    Another point they didn't mention: the vast majority his feedback is from dummy accounts. You know, the kind that sellers use to bid their own auctions up, with a name that has a character followed by a bunch of asterisks and then another character. Even the negative ones are fake! This idiot made fake accounts just to give himself negative feedback, probably to help sell the illusion because he realized that few sellers have 100% positive, but he couldn't even be bothered to come up with a username that was halfway believable!
