I too was concerned seeing more copies turning up for sale from the same seller. Got mine today and felt that this needed to be checked up. Thank god I found this site and thank you guys for starting a thread like this. And I can inform you that two others (me included) have been notified about this and will claim a refund. I do not know if I will leave negative feedback. If i get my refund and everything works out smooth then I will probably just leave neutral feedback and write that the copy were fake.
I'm really glad this thread has helped some people out. When I got mine and immediately realized they were fakes I felt really bad that I might have pointed some good people/friends in the wrong direction, but I realize now with the help of all of you awesome folks here on NA that we really came together to stomp out another attempt to sabotage our most excellent hobby. Thankfully the damage was minimal to us NA members due to everyone getting refunds. Hopefully our efforts have helped several non NA members and more to come get refunds as well. Special thanks goes to spoonman for getting so angry about this ordeal not even having bought one of these himself, just wanting to help out fellow collectors and being genuinely upset about any of us getting screwed by someone with fake games That is what this hobby is about!!
^ Just haven't gotten around to everything yet i'm in the process of moving. I just bought a new house and i'm packing all my stuff and it has been a job and a half.
had to point this out, I checked the guys FB and now it's set to private... def covering it up
Don't know now if its possible to inform the others that bought the rest of the CDR's
What a doucher!!! I didn't know you could do that, this guy is most definitely reading this thread and is shameless at that. By setting his feedback to private though it will alarm any other buyer and practically no one will buy from this guy unless they are new to ebay and don't know any better.

The advantage on our side is he can't sell while his feeback is private. Also, it still shows the breakdown of how many different types he has left.
You guys need to just report this guy for selling bootlegs so that eBay will inform ALL buyers.
Already did this and everyone else should too. This is what I wrote in my report to ebay "Game was a bootleg/counterfeit burned to CDR. 16 copies were sold by this member to others." Ebay doesn't give you too many characters so you have to make it short and sweet, but I think they will get the point. It's fairly easy to report an item, you just have to go to your completed listing for the game click the more actions drop down, hit resolve a problem, click the contact ebay tab, slide your mouse over the buying tab, hit the report an item or listing, click the report item button, select the one you want which will be the Zelda NFR you got, the rest is pretty self explanatory just choose the drop down for copyright and trademark, then bootleg media, then unauthorized copies of media (software and games) and a brief description. This is the only way I could figure on how to report this as you can't file a claim of any kind since a full refund was given as far as I can tell. If you have problems reporting the item you can always just call ebay on the phone and report it that way, but in any case this should definitely be done so ebay can ensure all of the other members get refunds and this guy can't pull this crap again!
Just a heads up, seller of these is trying to cancel the eBay transactions. I declined to cancel the transaction. Just a heads up that this might be done to possibly peddle more bootlegs.
Hey guys! Sorry to bump an old thread but I thought it would be a lesser sin than making a new one when this thread is so similar.
I'm trying to figure out if some discs I got in a bundle a long time ago are legit. When I put them in my computer they say the medium is not recognized, same with that program posted earlier, so I'm assuming that's a good sign (since they aren't CDR or DVD). In Disc Juggler it says Type: CDI and that it's copy protected but that is all that is avaliable it says. For reference I'm using my Hotel Mario disc. It is pretty glossy under light (the text is pretty reflective but the white parts are more opaque), and on the back ring it says "26020408 01!". Here are a couple of pics:
Also, on the Dragon's Lair II disc, it has a few hairline scratches on time from where it got caught in the lid of the CD drive once. When the disc is held up to light, it shines through in the cracks, but it completely silver on all normally exposed areas.
Didn't see a pic but maybe there was but the red disc is how ever Zelda's Adventure demo I've seen looks like. The other 2 zelda games I've seen in white and clear top if I remember correctly.
Absolutely hilarious that this guy is back. Norweena777. Selling Philips CD-I consoles and including these garbage NFRs.
Now...I would have paid $500 for a working console so I am not too pissed about him throwing in the NFRs. But it makes me wonder how legit the system is now. I'm considering returning the whole thing.
The Mad Dog McCree CIB with gun looks almost brand new and the controller is in top shape. But I'm not a collector so I don't care I just wanted to play the CD-I again.
What do you all think? Here's the eBay lot I bought...I haven't tried out the console yet but will later. I'm wondering if everything from this guy is BS. The NFR games technically aren't even in the listing so I can't much complain. And if the console works I guess I'll keep it.

I contacted "rompopi"
Yeah, That's all you can do at this point is leave him -FB and contact people who leave him +FB.
At least he's going to have a tarnished record.

Good job contacting people on these man, i'm sure he will appreciate it...after he gets over the fact that it is a fake of course.

Since private = no selling, that's a good thing.

Bought one too (i was the first one who bought this) and instantly had a feeling this was a fake.
After claiming a full refund, and sending the link to this topic, i got a message within 20 minutes the refund was granted.
Got the request to cancel the transaction, but no way i will do this.
