Ebay - "Seller Madness"

[- Ω -]

From time to time I really see some really shameless auctions or 'buy it now' items.  I've never quite been sure if the sellers are just plain greedy, or are using Ebay as a conduit to launder money.  Right now some dude has a PHOTOCOPIED (duplicated manual) from an old computer users group of a TI manual.  If that's not bad enough, they want a total of $45.49 for it!

[- Ω -]

Oh, yeah, while I'm at it, I should probably tell you that you can download that manual for free << RIGHT HERE >> 😈

Maybe the seller needs to know because anyone can simply download it and print it!  LOL

But there are plenty of these crazy sales going on.

This auction features a cartridge with pee on it.  Well, actually, it's the letter "P" in sharpie.  I wonder if that means it's PAL?

What a horrible way to mar a great game!

I believe it could have once been owned by P.Diddy and be a collector's item.

I just bought it.  The P-Diddy connection was too good to pass up (actually, the seller offered $5 off.  $35 shipped seems like a nice deal).  I remember playing this game on PC and loving it.

Cannon Fodder is a favorite of mine on the Jaguar.  Its a pretty good port and works surprisingly well with the Jaguar gamepad.  Let us know what you think!

I value your opinion a lot, so thanks.  It's interesting to me how CIB Jag games are easier to find decent deals on than loose carts alone.
