@GTV reviews the Cosmic Fantasy 1-2 Switch collection by Edia, provides examples of the poor English editing/localization work. It's much worse for CF1. Rated "D" for disappointment, finding that TurboGrafx CF2 is better & while CF1's the real draw, Edia screwed it up...

Horrid, scammers are going for a new record low.

My favorite part of that auction:

Quote from: Ebay ScammerTo the buyer and seller lani_face. You are blocked from purchasing any of my items due to you dishonest buying practices and taking my refund and never returning my so called "broken" CDX AC adaptor.
How dare someone have dishonest buying practices?!  Not like Honest Abe over here who's merely trying to make a non-dishonest living by selling things he got for free that were stolen to begin with!

This is so upsetting....
I had to show this to a friend of mine because I have been trying to talk her out of spending 100+ for Rule of Rose on PS2. For some reason that game just keeps going up in price, and it used to be everywhere. Every time I see it now, they want more for it.

Aside from flipping bootleg samples which were given out for free, the seller also describes them as official releases.

Him and PCE Aarons don't have a good track record together!

Yeah, Rule of Rose was like a $15 bargain bin game at Circuit City for a long time.  It and Haunting Ground are both stupid expensive now, RoR moreso I think because of the Atlus name.

Didn't know Y's I and II came with Turbo Duo label? Mine says TurboGrafx 16 and I imagine PC Engine on Japanese disc. But yeah the seller is an idiot who obviously never burned a CD or he's a shitty scammer.  I hope the seller also knows TG-16 and PCE CD system (pre-Duo that is) have a really terrible time reading CD-Rs.

Although the Duo version of Ys I & II is supposed to be common knowledge, what is crooked is gougers selling it as either disc-only or disc + manusl and calling it "complete". It's an incomplete pack-in version of a complete game. It's a variant at best and not a unique version. If TTi gave away extra discs in sleeves, they wouldn't be complete either. The only way the Duo Ys I & II would be complete, if you are going to count it as a unique version, is if it comes with a fully complete TurboDuo package with all the software and outer box sleeve.

Its a cd-r made to look like the Duo version. Look at the "paint" in the center where the mintmark should be. Also, the silver on top is not natural from a pressed disc. Its some flat non reflective thing that was painted or inked on a paper label. Also the bottom of the disc shows its a long strategy cd-r.

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 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.
