Craig's List scams
It's come to my attention someone has listed NWC #260 for sale on Craig's list .I own that NWC and it's not for sale,it seems like lately some people are listing very rare and very expensive video games on Craig's list ,and other websites that they don't have or have faked .Now I'm not trying to say all listings for rare expenstive games are scams but I just went unsuspecting collecter's who are either new to collecting video games or unknowledgeable about what to look for in determining if the game in question is in fact legit or in fact fake.Thank you!

It's really unfortunate that this is where the hobby is heading but wherever there's high priced items there are people trying to counterfeit them. Seems kind of dumb to me to try and knock off something like an NWC cart that has a number on it which can easily be tracked.
Watermark your pictures I guess is the lesson here... if there is one.

^^^^ This. If you have pics of NWC, EB, SE, Caltron, whatever-- if it's a rare/expensive game, please watermark them. You could throw a piece of paper with your name on it in the photo, but people could photoshop them. Try your best to watermark even if you have to do it in MSPAINT!
If anyone needs help watermarking, PM me or anyone that does art stuff here, especially forum artists, they can help ya.
