guillavoie | 1,210 Events Team · Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 The Gotcha is a 5 screws, hence why he's asking for so much on it. What's very strange is that it has to be the prices of someone that knows very well what he has for sale, but very loosely presented as 'Nes Tapes'. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackVega | 583 Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 Not only is this on facepalm which has no buyer protection whatsoever and even if it did then I wouldn't even care anyway and these are just horrible deals to begin with 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bass_Head18 | 8 Posted October 6, 2023 Author Share Posted October 6, 2023 No worries. I only saw the post and figured I’d share. please delete 6 hours ago, Link said: I don’t think this will help anybody, tbh, except for the seller. It is interesting that you have no involvement but post the seller’s specs. The whole of the offerings here are very strange to me, and I would encourage anyone to be skeptical. A lot of second-tier, interesting or questionable stories. Everything available is very high value, except ONE $1 game inexplicably listed for $900. tl;dr: this all looks bootleg or scammy as shit to me. I’m sorry and would like to be shown wrong if it’s not true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is posted for sale in a specialty collector group. I am sure the "Nes Tapes" is just a fun title, much like if someone made a FS thread here with that title. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another reason why I posted it but I know some folks can be leery of Facebook marketplace. I was too. Due diligence is much needed. I have bought from others in the collectors circle on there and never had an issue. Hell, even on OfferUp I’ve bought from a rando but reviews are key just like here. if using PayPal then you’re covered for the most part. I’ve had better luck finding things out in the open as if I were on NA again. Just get into a good group. helps if it’s local too. I was browsing the group form myself and i posted in the event someone was looking is all. If a mod wants to delete that’s cool. If that guy has those types of titles, he may have other things not listed someone is really looking for and could ask. I wouldn’t of posted if it were someone asking for a google voice code or your social security number. Lol. Or joined October 2023. I checked for time in the site (time checked out) and reviews (which also checked out) no different than on here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanooki | 4,939 Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 I'd agree with the find a local group if they exist and are friendly to buyers. We had one or two in the area here on such goods, but the person running it now wants a premium for the effort of scouring the county and charging a premium for their efforts. At best now it's more wise to just look around on various closed/invite groups and you do get some really nice stuff and reasonable people and they patrol for scum quite well and rat it out so you can feel safer.

Same. I’ve met about a handful or so locally either buying or selling. Even got to go to each others game caves and see our collections. Hung out several times but I moved unfortunately. But yes. Local is best but I’ve also had great luck buying abroad on Facebook or OfferUp. Edit: 3 turned out to be NA members too which was cool not knowing at first since it was either Craigslist or marketplace. Just got to chatting it comes out. insert spider man pointing at each other meme Edited October 6, 2023 by Bass_Head18 Adding info 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This guy sells tons of games online, including really nice/rare/expensive/sought after ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Code Monkey | 2,011 Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 You're selling these for $100? Are they tapes or games? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ankos | 445 Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 1 hour ago, Code Monkey said: You're selling these for $100? Are they tapes or games? "Tapes" is a commonly used term for game cartridges in Malaysia based off of the listings I've seen. Not sure where that stems from, though I've seen Chinese listings that use the term "卡帶" for cartridges, but google translate translates that as cassette. If I had to guess, maybe cassette and cartridges have the same word in some languages, and some sellers go with tape instead of cassette since it is shorter? Not sure if that's what's happening here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
