I am selling limited editions on ebay, am I a criminal?

[lucifershalo]

I have items for sale on ebay for the moment,

some are limited editions homebrews that I bought at the time

my way of seeing my collection hobby

is that if I dont play a game anymore, I wont keep it just for the sake of having it on my shelf

I am not criticize people that do that

but each his own way ....

I am calling myself a gamer-collector

so I decide to get rid of some games

maybe it is a wrong feeling but I nearly feel guilty

like a criminal or a traitor because I am selling those

 

what is your opinion?

[lucifershalo]

the creator of one of the game I am selling posted a topic about the item being sold

and I remember the big debate when someone put Adventure 2 on ebay

even if I dont have to justify myself

I think I am buying enough homebrews to prove that I am not a speculator

but somewhere , yes of course I hope to sell them at the highest price possible

so I can buy more in the future

 

I am working in the comic books business

so I know about speculation

alternate and limited edition covers

I was implying with my that HAT had reached a milestone of sorts: that it was being offered on ebay. That's all. I didn't mean for you to feel bad about your choice of what to do with your games.

 

Cheers,

Tony

thanks Tony,

at the same time

(and I am not saying that to "diminish my crime" lol)

I am surprised that I never hear or read anything about your game

it is a wonderful project from the game itself to the box and instructions presentation

and in the french revival magazine

I reviewed and give it a high score even if it is not my kind of game

There's nothing wrong with selling anything you have purchased in the first place, after all, we are living in a free society, even in Belgium.

You bought it so you own it, so its yours to sell or trade or to give away if you want to.Thats the way i look at it anyway.

[+Wonder007]

My belief is that if you own the cart, you can do whatever you want with it unless there was a precondition to buy the item (in that case I would talk to the person to see if something can be done).

 

Now, the readers from countries in Cuba, North Korea and Myanmar, how could you sell one of your carts? is it legal in your country to do so without governmental authorization?

 

Oh, they just blocked the internet in Myanmar, please answer when it is unblocked........

You worry too much about what other people think,You bought them,they're yours,and no one can say squat,you do what YOU WANT WITH THEM!

Unless you burned the roms yourself, I don't see any issues at all. I mean, if it was bought, hey, do whatever. Kinda sad that you don't find enjoyement out of them anymore, but hey, at least you can use the money to buy a new game that might be more amuseing to you

[Jess Ragan]

You're too sensitive. Who the hell cares what you sell on eBay as long as you're not breaking any copyrights? If I bought a copy of Chase the Chuckwagon from you and it turned out to be made a month ago in your basement, that would make me angry. This doesn't.

Nothing wrong with re selling limited games. How are people who didn't get a chance to go to the shows ever going to find them, you are doing people who really want these games a favor. With out you selling them they would never get them since they are limited edition. If the people who made them get mad then they should make more.

[SRGilbert]

I'd say the real issue is when you've got someone who buys multiple copies of a limited edition item, waits until they sell out, and turns them for a big profit. Not unlike scalping tickets in a way. Again, there is no legal reason that you can't do it with games, but I can see how some folks would get annoyed.

HAT sounds like its a cool game. Is the ROM available for us CC2 people? Even if it is, I'd still love to buy the actual cart at some point so if someone has one reasonably priced for sale in the future, please look me up. Thanks

Maybe in the future I'll post an "Online Edition" version of the rom; right now I don't want to spoil it for anyone playing the HAT easter egg contest.

Looks like Atari2600.com bought back the N.E.R.D.S game from you. I was going to bid again but I forgot.

[lucifershalo]

yes, they are planning to buy all the N.E.R.D.S. and Last Ninja carts and bury them next to the E.T. games

I thought only criminals used eBay? I think it's a requirement.

 

[Cassidy Nolen]

No, thats Craigslist you are thinking of
