I will get photos of the map tonight for sure, but I am almost certain it looks just like the one in the sale that Tiger posted.

Here's the recent M&MIII auction I mentioned:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Might-and-Magic-III-3-for-the-Turbo-Grafx-DUO-English-U-S-version-/111733529896?hash=item1a03d65d28


I think M&M III is originally in a double case ....am i wrong ?


Yes, but back tray liners/inserts in double disc cases are the same as single disc jewl cases.

f*ck, i need to look at my remaining outputs at home to be sure, what was on what, but that M&M poster could be,

these listing pictures make it hard to tell original to copies at times, ya i think it is best at this point to stop doing the paper stuff unless you are a long term member and i will help you out.

Pricing is so f*cked right now that even repro stuff add more money to games on ebay. Really sad and i am done with the paper pieces.

spine label stickers i will still make, and will keep my Manual inserts thread but will update stipulations.

EDIT: Sorry guys, i appreciate the kind words that i should not feel bad but i do, these were never meant to get to ebay and help inflate prices, f*ck,  It was to help fill the holes on games that were already over priced when they were not complete.

i want to thank everyone for the cardiac event that had me scrambling to my shelf to inspect my recently acquired copy of beyond shadowgate.  the dog and cat, and possibly neighbors will never look at me the same way again.

BTW - luckily mine is legit  :oops:

I don't think you should quit exactly, just make them completely different from the legit ones so that they are obviously not real. It wouldn't be hard at all to make better inserts than most of these games came with. Get rid of the bar code, shrink those gigantic-ass logos down a few dozen percent, see if you can find higher quality elements. Then put "Copyright Obey 2015" on it.

You could also just copy Tobias's work. :)

As for the scamming business, it's a shame so many people have lowered themselves to this and that they unrepentantly cook up excuses for their scams. It would be nice if they just got real jobs and contributed something to society, but that's much harder so I guess this is what we get. 

I had some stuff to say about pirate shit, but I'll start another thread for it.

And here are the pictures.  I feel like such an idiot.  This is a Sparky reproduction.

Ehh you were lied to, and it is something you overlooked. Just use it as a learning experience for future purchases.



Seriously Madboom and Ninjacuntfacethewarriorsedgegaming, have you two no shame? There is no excuse for this what so ever. You both are 100 percent busted. Can these two clowns not be banned?

Well at least that is cleared up man, and we know who did it.
So again, it was never stated in the listing this was a repro?  My god it is right on it, shady mc-shades they are.

Terrible. I would say maybe make that disclaimer HUGE or in big red text. That way no one can miss it. Still though, that's super scammy if I say so myself.

Nope, it wasn't mentioned at all.  Further, the prices the games were listed for on Ebay were just slightly better than other BINs.  Nothing lead me to believe that some of the contents were repros.  Like professor said, lesson learned.
