I'm not sure that this is the most appropriate place to post this, so please guide me in the right direction if need be.

This eBay user has gotten my attention before by burning an old ROMhack of mine for UMK3 "Revision 1.3 beta", slapping some labels on chips that *appear* aged, and claming it was a midway beta release.

Now he's used a hex editor and slapped some minty labels on UG12 and UJ12, and hocking a MK2 board for $1000, claiming it's from the basement at Midway in Chicago:

crazy how those 30+ year old labels are a much less faded white than the other chip labels.

This guy is a registered user on this board as well, same name as his ebay tag, hasn't been active since July, and his post history seems to be only for buying and selling stuff, the latter at bloated prices it seems.

I've reported this listing to eBay. not sure what else we can do.
 
Might as well call him out by name here, at least give him the opportunity to respond. You can tag a member by their name with a "@" in front of it, e.g. @DuffCon
 
yeah, why not. @mdatsdat

here's a UMK3 1.3 listing. faded rom chips, and oh look... "error in listing"

No mention at all of it being a romhack.

IDK how long this guy's been selling this, but it's sickening how someone can take advantage of and profit off someone else's work. I didn't even get into it to make money.

well look at that, he's at it again.
ROM hacks should be free - support your friendly neighborhood creators, NOT EBay scalpers!
