Hybrid | 424 Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 Meh people come around and make fake nwc every once in a while. It stirs up the people for a while and then we move on. The people who have the money to buy one should know what to look for. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gloves | 11,759 Administrator · Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 They've put one up on ebay, and I mean... They do list it as a repro, AND looking at the photos, it's pretty obvious it's a repro. I think you'd be hard pressed to fool anyone with these. That said, I reported it as I would any repro. (yes, I created a French ebay account to do so) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePhleo | 2,184 Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 *ugh* thank @Gloves now I need to add these to my archive as "Known frauds" https://www.ebay.fr/itm/203232001281 https://www.ebay.fr/itm/203231996258 https://www.ebay.fr/itm/333875393288 Two different sellers to boot. Terrible. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fcgamer | 4,719 Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 Seller states they are repros , they aren't 1:1, I think all things considered they look really nice. Creating a French eBay account just to shit on someone else's projects though, I dunno man. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTFO Edit: the one auction i found shows up on ebay.com using the listing id, no need to make a new account to report/follow Edited February 2, 2021 by Lincoln 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And what is going on here is a nice throwback to that, with the mental gymnastics you and others are using to justify some but then to denounce others. I've stopped caring about something I can't fight years ago, even on NA, but the one thing that still stinks is the hypocrisy and excuses people here use. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fcgamer | 4,719 Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 For people jumping on the report the repro maker bandwagon, I think that's where I draw the line, especially when the guy isn't selling it as real, made it purposely not 1:1, etc. You don't know the person's situation, and if the person's account or PayPal got shut down, for example, it could possibly start causing problems in their real life, especially during the uncertainty of this pandemic. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Vader | 154 Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 I don't worry about it too much. Just looking at the pcb's of the original and the fake, you can clearly see that the fake is in fact.....a fake. It looks close but it still looks off. That's just at a glance. If I was in line to purchase this there is no doubt I would do further research. At the end of that research if there was even a smidgeon of doubt in authenticity, I would walk away. Every aspect of a heavy hitter such as an NWC should be highly scrutinized. No reason not to. People with a keen eye will still be able to tell the difference between the two and people who don't do their due diligence and just purchase a fake unknowingly.......well they probably should find a new hobby. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Making and/or selling repros is illegal. Selling them on eBay is not allowed. Also the person doing so is female. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peg | 370 Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 (edited) I can tell they are fake just from the labels alone, don't even need to see a fake PCB to go along with it. There are artifacts all over the place that won't be on a real one, at least for the numbered carts. For NWC gold, all bets are off, even the "originals" looks fake since they were basically ruined NWC carts with half assed labels applied to begin with.

Regarding the other part, there we go with the hypocrisy again. If you truly care about the legality, I'll send you a list of links that you can start reporting. The only reason you care is because this is a NWC . Let's be honest here. And that still doesn't give you the right to possibly be messing with someone else's livelihood.

I remember I went to a Warez site once and the website showed me a folder view of all the personal folders on my computer. After that I was more selective on what I installed. Fair enough. You know why I went there? My distant internet past. I used to be one of the channel ops for #oldwarez on efnet for nearly 5 years in the back half of the 90s, #emu for emulation too. It just hit me with all the ping pong on definitions and back pedaling on stuff and the selective hypocrisy. I remember trick sites like that, it used an old technique because the crap way PCs were setup then for networking, it's not like they could access and use your stuff, erase/move without using an actual trojan or virus, but you could grab a snapshot to scare the shit out of someone pretty easily.

You're assuming a whole lot about me as a person I don't give two shits about NWC in general They're actively breaking the law, their livelihood is irrelevant as far as I'm concerned It's not my job to go out of my way to find and report repros; I came upon this listing and found that it breaks the rules and is illegal, so I reported it There's not a shred of this supposed hypocrisy in anything that I have said or done, or have ever done or said with regard to things of this nature. Repros are illegal, I do not support them, I will report them if I come across them. It's THAT simple. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're acting like we're saying this person needs to be jailed or executed. Reaction befitting the crime, dude, how are you this dense about it? She is posting illegal stuff that breaks ebays rules. So I reported it. At worst, they have their related accounts suspended or altogether deleted, and that PERFECTLY fits the "crime" going on here. You're really reaching. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So doing something against ebays terms of service, and something that can be potentially damaging to the community you're a part of is really ok because theres a possibility they might need a few extra dollars because or they wont be able to provide for their family. ASTOUNDING. Like this will cripple their entire life. Good lord. Consequences have repercussions. They made their bed now they have to lie in it. Take some accountability in your life. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
