Entex ADVENTURE VISION

Man what a sham. Thats the worst (or best) job at bait and switch I've ever seen on eBay.

20 pages of mint in box photos followed with thumnails of what you are actually getting. "Photos are for reference". My ass.

That's what he gets for using "photos for reference".

Anyway, on the topic of grails...does anyone know much about...this? It's supposedly a US AES copy of King of Fighters 2000...

Neo Geo Freak got the rights to produce I think 50-100 versions of the game. They took out the original inserts supposedly, and the original manuals, and put in their own, which are still high quality, but to be honest, no one in the Neo Geo Community considers that a "real" release.

Or, NGF just lied and produced their own, either way, too shady for anyone's blood.

Well, they did finally take it down... One of the people he was stealing images from (by linking directly to their site) got a little annoyed and decided to have some fun...

His response to me about using some of my images was "There's been over 400 people looking at the auction, think of it as free advertising." No, I think of it as copyright infringement...

**jajaja** · 08-10-2006, 02:57 PM

Hehe, its always fun when ppl change out linked pics

But i really dont see what the big deal is. Its 1 single auction that lasts for a few days. So why on earth should the owner of the link be so pissed? If it was linked to a website i can understand, but 1 auction.. doesnt make much sense to me.

**rik1138** · 08-10-2006, 09:29 PM

It's becuase in most cases, the seller is essentially trying to claim that the item pictured is the one they are actually selling. (Or, they will link to a picture of a MINT one, and say it's a representation of the one they are selling, which of course looks like they found it in the trash.)

When this guy first listed his auction, his description was a complete copy/paste of someone's Adventure Vision page showing the site owner's mint-in-box Adventure Vision (with a sale value of at least $2500). There was NO OTHER indication in the auction description of what the seller was actually selling.

Then, at the bottom (using Ebay's picture service) he had a couple of pictures of his loose Adventure Vision (missing the Defender cartridge, but including the other 3). So after reading a 3-4 screen description of a new, never opened AV complete with all the games sealed, you start to think that's what you are actually bidding on.

When people started to question what he was actually selling, THEN he added a line saying the above pictures were just for reference. Why the hell do I need reference pictures of a MIB game system when you are selling a loose, used one? He then proceded to copy/paste (including links to pictures) the AV pages from at least two other websites (mine included).

In this case, it came down to copyright infringement and what looked like a bait-and-switch tactic. Even though you shouldn't do this, some people just see a picture or two, and bid right away without reading the description, assuming they will get what's in the picture. There are sellers that DEPEND on people doing this, and blatantly exploit it (which this auction was really started to look like...).

Thats the "rare" Nintendo shipping box. Only 2 games can be found in these. The Mario and the Dk2. Its not a prototype. In addition to the Cheetahmen II Mike Etler had tons of these for sale at one point. At a very nice price I must add.
