    This is just... ...wrong.

    I was looking for prices on import Final Fantasy games, and this one caught my eye. I initially thought it was an import package of FF1-6 but this dude is stupid.

    It is definitely very wrong, but not because the guy is stupid.

    It's wrong because he might actually make money from this farce. His shipping rates are artificially inflated so that if people buy it, he'll make money from shipping rather than from the sale of the item.

    It's ingeniously insidious.

      Isn't it illegal to sell ROMs? Maybe the laws are different in the UK. Or else you're right and this guy's just stupid. I don't know.

        I think its illegal everywhere, I'm not sure. However, even if it was legal in Canada, he could get in trouble for selling it to an american, which is likely what will happen.

          Only if someone reports him or eBay notices it among thousands.

            I think eventually someone will report it. Too many people that consider themselves "hardcore gamers" and know the rules about Roms go to ebay every day, and at least one of them will say something.

              look at the idiot's disclaimer:
              Note to eBay - This item is either in the public domain or I have been granted resell or master resell rights. This listing also fully conforms with the compilation and international media policy and the downloadable media policy.
              he claims the games are public domain, or that he has resell rights to illegal copies?

                Wow. I wish I had a contact name at Squaresoft so I could confirm with them that they gave him permission.

                    Someone who knows some ROM sites should e-mail the buyer with a link, and WHOOOOPPS!!! There goes the 100% positive feedback.

                    Hell, the guy might get reported.

                      I should hopefully find out soon how Square-Enix feels about this.

                              I got an email from Square-Enix today. It was in response to this particular subject, it said: (exact quote):

                              "It has been forwarded to the appropriate department."

                              Wonder what this means exactly?
