/RANT ON;

This is really a personal Rant.. I don't know why but when I saw this listing it really just urked me.

I saw the 2600 designed and built PC10 / NES adapter since it started here and am equally enthused that its out and someone had taken the time to build it.

I think this auction though:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/NES-Nintend...512?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2a20a6e738

Is bullshit.

3 days left - already at $72 when original asking price was around $85. Going to be sold and honestly I just can't resist to think that it's ultimately going to be cloned and then china repro crap.

I am all for open commerce, etc. but I mean seriously? Advertised Broken, going to sell for bux, and then will open the floodgates to more crap as time goes on. The guy here put massive effort to getting it to work and people helped test etc.. keep it in the family man don't just try and make a buck cause you can.

Sigh - Oh interwebs

haha i am amused he says, "soldered correctly, but bad solder points"..... Considering this is a solder it yourself it sounds like he screwed it up and wants to make a quick buck, and from the price seems he is going to be making 20$ or more.

It is sad he is just turning around and selling it to the mass market instead of re-offering it to the community.

I really wish to thank 2600 for his hard work, mine works about 80% (i think my power is off and need to tinker with it before I ask him questions), but it is a gem of an adapter.
 
You think the first thing to do would be to get with 2600- he'd probably walk the guy through the fix, fix it himself or even buy it back. There are a ton of people wanting these.
 
What Ive noticed is that people dont wanna go through the hassle of fixing things and selling on here when they can sell as is on feebay or CL and make more money with no fix. Ive seen many high priced games and items that need alot of fix on CL and when I email and call it ends up being someome on here! Then they dont wanna deal with me cuz they know they are charging way more then whats its worth and they want to sell to the guy that dont know any value of the game who wants a semi working/looking game in their man cave..

Too many people trying to make a quick buck. I sold 5 PC-10 games on here for way less then what I could have got for them on feebay.. But then again I would have paid fees up the ass.. Just keep it in the Klov family..
