Tom,
I hope I didn't give you the impression that I
don't care at all about stuff like this. It bugs me too when people charge
money for games that abandonware sites have for free download (which the sites
themselves probably shouldn't, but that's a whole other discussion that I think
we've had before). But I prefer to reserve my major battles for people who
are specifically trying to defraud collectors of old packaging. Although
what this guy is doing isn't legal, he's not fooling anyone (or even trying)
about what he is offerring, and there are too many others doing the same
thing.
However I will file a report with eBay and see if
they do anything about it. Power in numbers, so anybody else wanting to do
the same, go here:
A couple other things then I'll let it go, for now. Even at .01 notice he charges $5 shipping. Costs maybe a buck to ship a bare CD. And I'm betting he puts some sort of GRTech "label" on the CD so people think it is legit when they get it. I'm starting to get more annoyed the more I think about it, tons of auctions, up to $10 each for the CDs, $5 shipping each, possible further money to "download" the other games, BIG money potentially............... Hope no "lurkers" watching this discussion. Jim, just curious, is there a published list of members of this group?
