Here's my REV-0 and REV-1 Wave Race 64. REV-0 is pale green with unbranded ROM, while REV-1 is dark green with MX ROM. I think they sort of used whatever was available at a certain time in a certain factory. So you may have different ROM brands in different colour boards.

It looks fake but all it takes to confirm is opening up the cart and looking at the board. Even faster you can check the connector slot, if you can't see the word Nintendo it's most likely a fake.

gone thanks

the amount of artwork printed is the same there, its just the paper thats cut differently. bet you can find this kind of difference in any game for any system that has cardboard boxes

they're sort of like chip and dale, and i know who dale is

End of story, guy wanted 30$, I offered 20$ or return the item, he said 25$ will do, I accepted. I know I shouldn't have, but since I needed to pay the return shipping anyway, I figured 25$ was close to what I would have paid to get the item back, and then the hassle of reselling it again would have cost me a lot more time in the future, and repacking it again etc. FYI, buyer was venom786 and he seems to be buying lots of retro games. Based in the UK. I have him blacklisted.

I told the buyer the problem he showed on the photo was non-existant and out of goodwill I would refund 20$. No answer. So just now I told him that I was willing to do an exceptional goodwill gesture by accepting a return. I warned the buyer to send back the same exact game and it must be received in the same exact condition it was sent, or I would use all means available on eBay, and if that fails, all means available outside of eBay -- which I am going to do if he scams me by sending an empty package, another game or the same game damaged. These things remind me that sellers on eBay are sitting ducks waiting to be scammed, and you can be scammed on anything, any time, and eBay is known to not give a foc and refund the buyer most of the time. There's no way I'm accepting a refund which means he keeps the item (that's what the button says).

I'd love to call someone at eBay but the long int'l call will cost me way too much. I have until February 20 until the case is closed and eBay takes a decision. Given their history of siding with buyers 99% of the time, I'm thinking of a small partial refund, hoping the guy accepts it. He's obviously in my black list now. Just for fun, I'm attaching 3 photos of the game I sold, and the 4th photo is what the buyer claims to be "a significant staining/mark on the inlay cover" (straight quote). You can see it's just a small mark on the seal, not even a millimetre long. Also, since it's clearly visible in my photos, it can't be "significantly not as described". Makes no sense both ways, but will eBay care about making sense?

Item paid, sent end December, received early Jan, then 2 days ago seller wants a refund because the item is significantly not as described. he says the inlay paper is extensively stained (lol). game is a factory sealed japanese ps2 game, it is in fantastic condition with very minor scuffing on the seal. i should have kept it so i ask for photos, and he shows a tiny scuff on the seal, on the front, that's hard to see unless you look for it. obviously trying to get his money back and keep the game, or at least get a substantial refund and keep the game. sending a zoom photo and trying to make that little scuff spot look like a HUGE STAIN in the cover lol. anyway. I simply aswered the ebay case by saying that this is a minor scuffing and that it is visible in my auction photos anyway. so it can't be treated as significantly not as described. guy has an arab name and all positive feedback, from uk, 1500+ feedbacks. anybody dealt with a similar case, where a stupid scuff/minor thing is used as an excuse to get a refund? I'm terribly afraid ebay's stupid employees will just force me to refund. im still in time to provide a partial refund. i can also just refuse the return, but in that case ebay has the last word and they may force a refund, which is worse than a return.

Sounds good, I'll probably get a small bottle of that. I'm still going to try a small corner with the basic hairdryer technique + finger work, just in case it actually comes off clean.

Bestine seems engineered for concrete removal, I'm not sure it leaves a stain? Google led me to some other possibilities: "Adhesive Release" "un-du" A hairdryer is probably enough if the sticker is intact, which is not my case. I'm left with the battlefield after the sticker was taken off the host.

I have a hard time believing there will be no damage to the paper with goo gone or any other chemical cocktail...? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W3jKw_z3NQE&t=1m57s I have this insert which had an orange sample/not for sale sticker on the barcode. Previous owner or shop seller before him thought he'd go to jail or something, so he removed it like a boar. Good thing is, except for a small piece on the right side, it looks like the insert is actually pretty much undamaged. But there is sticker paper and glue residue all over the place. Anyone with experience removing this kind of residue? It's the cheap thin kind of sticker, they're designed in purpose to mess up everything if you try to remove them.

It'll show up on eBay eventually, but for sure given the year, it must be pretty scarce. I had no idea New Bright made so many different car models - basic, pull-back, RC, and your funny revving model with a red light. I saw they had electric ones with wires attached from the car to the controller, I had forgot these even existed at one point. If you ever find it or find a photo of it, I'm curious to see how it looks with the accessory. The lever was a controller shaped like a red light? Or an actual red light standing on a pole? Did they car require batteries (I guess it did)?

Is that doggo still sleeping near the cabinet?

New Bright are still around, and they still use the same logo: They renewed their building a few years ago, and it looks like this now: New Bright car models are plentyful on eBay, you will find it one day lol I didn't find the same one, but this one from 1989 has a similar chassis https://www.ebay.com/itm/VINTAGE-1989-New-Bright-RC-28-Wireless-Radio-Control-Race-Car/323887514010

but why quote the picture sixty times

Why's the label so shiny, like covered in tape or a film? All the protos/samples I've seen on NES or Famicom had paper non-glossy labels on them. It smells of fake? Also, yeah, not showing the cart running is a big no-no. If you want that kind of money or general attention, show a screenshot of the software, that will make people flock to the auction
