Yep, it was posted awhile back in this thread. That eBay seller actually had it given to him from a friend (member here) that got it from BMW.

$45 for a dead neoflash cart, but at least it comes with free shipping.  It's not all that outrageous of a gouge job, I suppose, but it made me giggle.

I saw this yesterday and I applaud the seller for this sentence in the description:

"Comes complete in original packaging.  Please note that I am selling this AS IS because it does not work 100% of the time."

Notice that nowhere else does he mention that it partially works, works sometimes, works if you stand on one foot, etc.

If the thing doesn't work at all, EVER, which is probably the case, his statement is still accurate. But it sure is misleading. If someone told you "my car doesn't start every time" wouldn't you assume it starts some of the time?

Even if I thought I had repair skills I wouldn't go near this one.

EDIT: My mistake, he does mention that he can't get it working again. Still was quite careful about how he worded that.

This has been discussed quite a few times in this thread. The guy also wants to sell his neogeo golf game for like 30 grand which is completely and utterly insane.
And now its on sale for 17 grand

Yeah I was the one that assumed it was one of the few discs I gave away/traded since it was fairly local to me, but i checked up on the people I gave them away/traded to, and they all still have them. I trust them and know them. One of them did mention a store in the Portland area that has a bunch of them without manuals for $100 each  
Edit- wrong smiley...i meant this one!  ](*,)

Even if they weren't bootlegs, lone discs don't demand a collectors price. Especially for a game commonly available, nomally found complete and heavily bootlegged.
