Wow this is good to know, thanks nullity! BTW how do I know if something is fake?

Legit items were printed with banana scented "scratch and sniff" ink.

They also don't say "this is a copy - not original" on them.
Ok...but visually since I can't go over to that guy and smell his games (never thought I d ever say that!)?

Ebay Caution: scam/repro seller "thewarriorsedgegaming"

I just dont want to think Keith would do something like that. It would be totally out of character for him.

Keith could even lie to us (some bullshit about not looking it over carefully) and we would *want* to forgive him. (I'd be more willing to pardon him if he admitted to unethical behavior. Otherwise, I'd always be wondering if he was a scammer—with my hunch on "scammer").

However, no matter what he says, this is damn shady.

Plus, the fact that he was contacted via eBay about the tray insert was a chance to set things straight.

Damn.

Keith, you were here, but you got nothing to say about this MM3 thing?

Have anyone PMed him?

If I were in KC's shoes I'd be using massive amounts of caution approaching this thread. I don't blame him for taking a while to respond, even if this was a simple misunderstanding.

It's possible that he just isn't checking this thread.  You guys should PM him to point him here.

Seriously guys...... I clearly put that I didn't know if the things were original in the ebay auction. What more does one need to say? The winning buyer also knows that the case and everything else included besides the disc is most likely not original. We had spoken about it prior in ebay messages. The map, case, and disc I had bought online over 3 years ago. So I did not get them from Sparky 1st hand and is  unknown to me if they were from him. The instruction manual is indeed a sparky label which I got from him through these forums and is why I mentioned it as being not original.

Didn't even know about this thread until now. NightWolve brought it to my attention. Been to busy with PCE repairs to read through the forums as much as I'd like to these days.

Sparky, I know I did buy a rear insert from you at one point for might and magic III as well. That particular insert is still in my copy of the game that I still own.

I also sold a copy of Dungeon explorer II a while ago in which case I also disclosed that the insert/sparky label was not original http://www.ebay.com/itm/111516127737

I never got a Magical Chase insert from Sparky and I still own my copy of Exile Wicked Phenomenon in which I did get a repro outer case sleeve from Sparky for in case anyone was wondering.

Sorry if selling these offended you in any way Sparky. I just didn't have a use for the games anymore and figured why not include the inserts rather then leave the games naked without one

I think we'd all be happier people if we decided we just didn't give a shit about this kind of stuff.


...but then people don't pay hundreds of dollars for games they don't care about so...
