Gameboy dev kit? (Page 4 of 7)

Maybe, I noticed he took off that pic showing the game list (which nitro suggested looked like pre loaded game list on a clone), and now is claiming,
"It is a Nintendo Made Gameboy, that plays Nintendo licensed games. It will also play games that you developed as this is what the unit was designed for.
Sorry about being so serious about what it won't do. eBay thinks its some sort mod chip. To be honest I don't think they even exist for the Gameboy system so there is no way it should be removed."

So I guess now he's trying to say it contains original licensed Gameboy hardware, which is a load of bullshit. And he's trying to prevent the potential buyer from finding that out by saying it shouldn't be removed.

And I made a new post over at BH: http://forums.benheck.com/viewtopic.php … 58#p487158

and if somebody create an account and make a really high offer?

You can't sell emulation devices on eBay fwiw.

"Not allowed: Counterfeits, fakes, or replicas of brand name items"

From the auction page:
"The controller is a generic SNES controller that plug into the front of the system."

"It is a Nintendo Made Gameboy..." (no it isn't)

http://pages.ebay.com/help/policies/enc … ivity.html
"For a safer buying and selling experience on eBay, we don't allow the sale of items or links to items that encourage, promote, facilitate, or instruct others to engage in illegal activity." (can be interpreted various ways)

"Not Allowed: Hardware that lets people duplicate copy-protected video game cartridges"

from auction page:
"I am including a cartridge that can be used to create your own games. You can connect it to the computer, install the game you 100% created yourself, and then play it on the console. I have not tried it with ROMs or other illegal games, and even if attempted to they will not work. This will only play licensed games and games you developed."  (Bullshit.)

If that is how ebay treats stuff I should start selling storage media that "doesn't contain movies and video games".

I doubt anyone would spend $300 on a dev kit if they didn't know what they were doing, and I doubt anyone who knows what they're doing would spend $300 on something that looks like this.

this bit...

"Not Allowed: Hardware that lets people duplicate copy-protected video game cartridges"

...is the reason nonfinite and ourselves cannot sell carts on ebay.  we've both had our issues with ebay on this (we talked at last BRKfest and compared experience notes).  a few years back ebay took a turn for the worse and became a much less open marketplace.

you're fine unless someone reports you.  unfortunately there are some overzealous crusaders out there (i.e., people selling similar/competitive products), so the report feature has become more of a tool to restrict the marketplace.  its bogus.  ebay seems to defer to the reporter, and not give the reported much of a chance.
