I reported the Ys CDR, not that ebay will do a damn thing.

And that Magical Grail is f*cking awesome.  That's gotta be nully's doing.

The fact that someone is bidding on it is awesome.

You could legally make a Magical Chase accessory, like Sparky's broom, something that you could see being a promo item bitd... and it would just be fan art. You could honestly describe it as "limited edition" and not only would ignorant collectards bid the crap out of it, ones who understand what it actually is would still pay a lot for it. And many would try pairing it with one of their spare copies of Magical Chase and charge no less than double the combined individual "values". Similar to resellers pairing Earthbound with the air freshener.

I sent a report for "counterfeit/fake item" too. Hope it helps.

how is it counterfeit/fake?  seems like a pretty legit printed piece of paper to me, just as described in the auction.  maybe you need remedial reading class? :lol:

ClodBuster said he reported it too, and I'm the only one that said anything about reporting (the Ys CDR), so I'm pretty sure he's not talking about the Grail.

Speaking of reading comprehension....

Yes, I edited my post once I saw that it could be mistaken for referring to that magical thingy.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/TurboGrafx-16-Magical-Chase-Holy-Grail-Super-Rare-NEC-TG-16-L-K-HTF-/141712120706?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item20feb35b82

Judging by the copy it's a joke (?). Honestly I can't even tell any more.


No shipping to Canada... :(

I got scammed by something similar once, which wasn't intended as a joke. The guy was attempting to use clever wording to fool people into believing that they were bidding on a complete vhs set of the He-Man/MotU series. Except that he was too dumb to word it in any kind of ambiguous way and the description literally said that it was what bidders were looking for. So when I got a few sheets of paper with an episode list in the mail, along with a Spanish copy of the live action film, I was able to win a claim through eBay. But this was the days of snail mail money orders, so the whole thing took months.

And he placed the fake Ys on an awfully dirty desk for the photograph.

EDIT: And he sold SNES homebrews.

looked like he was referring to the magical grail @ 12:17 prior to the edit @ 12:56, which is why I said what I said @ 12:39.

The edit was not to change his text.  The original post contained the exact same message of 'I sent a report for "counterfeit/fake item" too. Hope it helps.', but thanks for playing.

So should I be reporting the "Magical Chase" item? I am so confused!  ](*,)
