Prototypes 101

They were bragging about it on NA and other forums all over the place. Of course they'd be nicer in front of the seller. I don't know what exactly led to the seller choosing another buyer but it probably played a role if they were that close to closing the deal.

A lot of people like to brag about what they have. I can see people buying a prototype to make sure they were the only person to own it. 

I remember someone on NA said "if they own it, they can do what they want with it".

Thing is, they had not completed the purchase.

That’s such a waste you were ghosted not once, not twice… but three times, but at different stages of the process for each person?

I’d really love to know why Frank keeps ghosting, especially. I know he’s a busy guy but… this feels just lazy.

It was super weird. Maybe one day I'll find out, maybe one day I'll message him again. I don't want to right now.

It's extremely difficult to get ahold of him. I put him in touch with a guy who has a Super Mario prototype and wants it dumped, God only knows if he wrote the guy or not, and since I'm just a middle man, there's little I can do about it either way.

I know how busy I am, so I can definitely sympathize with being busy. Then again, with big ticket stuff, really should be prioritising that.

 

He responded to me really quickly, we'd go back and forth multiple times a day and he pretty much replied instantly. And then I asked him where I send my games.

I just happened to watch this just shortly ago, amazing piece, even points out some of the truly reprehensible people out there past and present, their tactics and self serving antics to stifle prototypes from surfacing for black market level shadow deals instead which is disgusting.  Kudos as I forgot about it from years ago bratwurst putting the screws to those types with the bio force ape trickery.  But on the flip amazing work on others parts to get, archive, research, and properly feed these found lost gems for the masses.  I mean I may be one who would feel 100% different about it if I didn't consider prototypes just utter theft, because, largely they are.  If it were not stolen goods people are pulling this stuff with I'd be more understanding probably.

Yeah. Someone on [NAME REDACTED] told me about the california raisins incident, and I was wondering if it would get mentioned.
