    Might as well put a face to the name:

    More problems with this guy. He never shipped the games and never provided a tracking number, so PayPal ruled in my favor and my account shows an open refund. Now I got this email:

     

    "An eCheck payment from jeffrey drost was declined by the sender's bank. We will automatically try to process this payment again in 3 business days. It then usually takes 3-5 days for the money to be deposited into your account. Please do not ship items until you receive payment."

     

    This was an eBay purchase, so it is covered by the buyer protection. What do I care about an eCheck payment?

     

    I would call PayPal on that one, you have their phone number?

     

    If not, here you go: PAYPAL - 1-888-221-1161

    I think we've all won those auctions that seemed too good to be true -- and they were. What are your stories of auctions that sellers did not honor, whether the ending price was too low or for some other reason. I'd had a few end this way, but the last one was particularly annoying.

     

    Here's the link: eBay Auction -- Item Number: 3306293676971?ff3=2&pub=5574883395&toolid=10001&campid=5336500554&customid=&item=330629367697&mpt=[CACHEBUSTER]

     

    A classic case of seller's remorse. A BIN auction: 30 8-bit carts for $100 shipped. Some very rare ones in there, including two Romox titles and then some better ones like Gridrunner and Basic XL. The seller refunds my money and says that upon testing the carts, some were found not to be working. He says that in good conscience, he cannot complete the auction. I reply, telling him that I'll take them as-is. He still wouldn't do it. I don't know if someone made a side deal with him or if he plans to relist them (he said he would relist at some point with the working ones -- this hasn't happened). I neg'ed him and will report him to eBay Trust & Safety as a "non-selling seller," but there's not much else a buyer can do. His username is traderjoeonline. If any of you are looking for Romox carts, feel free to contact him -- I'd just love to know if he would sell them to you and what he would be asking.

     

    It happened. A relist of one of the Romox games: eBay Auction -- Item Number: 3306539285581?ff3=2&pub=5574883395&toolid=10001&campid=5336500554&customid=&item=330653928558&mpt=[CACHEBUSTER]

     

    Unscrupulous seller.

     

    UPDATE: Looks like he blocked me from asking a question about this item.

     

    WTF, that sucks man. Just tell me what you wanted to ask, I'll ask it for ya. :twisted:

    I'm an avid 7800 collector and am really into variations for this system and the 2600 for that matter. Anyway, I thought I would point it out in case someone else collects for the 7800 and is into variations as well. The only difference I notice is in the lower left corner of the top label:

     

    RED LETTERING = Made in China

    BLACK LETTERING = Printed in Taiwan

     

    I sure do have it backwards, good eye! I can't edit the first post anymore but it should be:

     

    RED LETTERING = Printed in Taiwan

    BLACK LETTERING = Made in China

     

    Sorry about that!

    Does anyone know the rarity of this one? It's a really nice looking game cartridge and the box is nice too. Instructions are folded but still good. A NTSC version is in the AA rarity guide as ? Unknown and the publisher is also an Unknown. It works, just scrolls on my screen though.

     

    CHESS
