So how is it fake? I know someone mentions the barcode but I can't spot the difference between that and other boxes online.

The barcode should be tight up against the side of the box like every other 32x release. As below (Darxide is on top): -



When you look at other copies pictured on the net you see this: -

He has probably worked out that this is the weak point of his fake so his other one conveniently has damage around the barcode area which makes it less obvious.

Just bought this for £15.... considering I have heard boxed copies to be super duper rare and this is one of the first ones of these I have seen for under £40... have I bought a bargain?

Im thinking I have considering I would love to have a full collection of Neo Pocket as Ive recently fell in love with the little bugger!

How do I offer international shipping on an ebay auction? I am selling some games through ebay.co.uk and my auctions just says "Ships To: United Kingdom". I haven't set any exclusion zones, but whenever I add an item it only allows me to set rates for domestic postage and I see no option for adding international rates?

I just started adding a new item using ebay.com instead of .co.uk but now its asking me to set US postage rates and International postage rates.

I am missing something obvious? My auction is http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/261050124463?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649 if someone outside the UK would check it and tell me if it prevents them from buying?

[hydr0x]

Yeah, UK only. I can't tell you where exactly but it's pretty obvious in the auction creation forms how to set it. Don't use the quick method, use the full forms. Anyways, you really should add a photo where all games are visible!

I dread to think what he would charge for a copy WITH a manual

[orkney]

Gotta love Ebay and its crazy prices. Does spence just make up a figure and hope someone bites? Might try it myself instead of judging him

Hmm, I definitely used the Advanced Sell option I'll wait until the auction ends and will start relisting from scratch to see if I overlooked something. When I try revising my auction now there is definitely no option for me to enter international rates. Cheers (and yeh I'll get a full photo in the next auction lol, kinda forgot about that)

Wow.. That's one expencive James Pond game.. It's even that ugly EA cart. This guy spence really should've included an offer option on his auctions. Some of the most insane prices he charges.

Nope I didn`t. Cheapest Master System in Australian Ebay is around $100. Is it worth buying consoles overseas?

Really? I don't know where you are looking then.

This links below shows like, 5 consoles in the first few listings that sold for half of that, and with most of the games boxed.
http://www.ebay.com.au/csc/Consoles-/13 ... 86.c0.m282

This lot has 26 games, all boxed and is only $15 more than the link you showed above:
