I don't think that the registration cards say PCEWorks on them. I believe that someone on eBay was asking something like $100 for one.

As I've said before, we have every reason to believe that he made large batches of unbranded Sylphia/Renny Blaster/Fausette Amour/Kaze Kiri either before, after or at the same time as the PCEWorks branded copies.

esteban's comment above shows how effective the branded copies we know about would be at passing off unbranded ones. We've also since seen 6 copies of Renny Blaster up at a time on eBay since the PCEWorks copies came to light. Before that, there was only one ir two a year. Unfortunately, a trend among mega sellers also started around the same time: only showing one or two low quality photos of games they are asking $100+ for.

Thanks for a lot of clarification, and for also making a guide to spot an original and a fake :) Although now you do mention it there have been an increase of renny blaster.  Although never been a game that has interested me, however, it did raise question as to why there were more copies floating around.  Although another very unfortunate thing that I have also been noticing is that people have been posting Tobias' ver of sylphia, renny blaster, kazekiri n such on yahoo auctions.

I personally hope this gets worse.  More and more idiots separated from their money until the whole thing collapses.  So many people pricing things due to eBay... "LOOK HE'S ASKING FOR $700, SO THAT MUST BE THE PRICE!!!!"  I can't stand it but at least I know that this is unsustainable.

I really don't understand this whole Rondo situation.  I mean how can so many people be so damn stupid.  I've seen so many auctions going up, one after another, where the end bids are simply outrageous.  The picture on the auction clearly states PCE Works.  Just Google that and presto you can buy a copy for around 100‎€.  Why are people spending any amount of money on this?!?!
