neo geo portable

doctorjames · Post by **doctorjames** » Thu Jun 22, 2006 2:22 am

I was browsing through e-bay looking at neo-geo stuff when i found this. I thought it looked really familiar.....<a href=http://cgi.ebay.com/NEO-GEO-AES-MVS-CUS ... Item>check it</a>
I can't believe the high bid is only around $100.

Wonder why they wanted to sell it? It's a bit too priceless a portable to sell.
You don't just hack down a Neo Geo arcade to a portable just like that.

Looks familiar...

Hmm... The hand looks like Ben's too, and all the pictures are from the "making of" on Benheck.com.

Scam?

Edit:
Well this puts it a few notches up the scam scale, he has recently bought a bunch of $2.50-$5.00 items, including two or more copies of the DVD "Second in Command"

Multiple cheap cell phone batteries, tons of little fans, multiple Ultra Sonic Dog Whistles, etc. Looks like he tried really hard to up his rating, quite possibly to get people confident in him.

Way to know: 1) look for persons name on ebay
2) ask where he got it
3) ask ben if he sold it to him

I emailed Ben, as he'd most likely be able to tell if the seller is legit, and can get eBay to pull the auction if it is false(as it's using his copyrighted images).

Odd.

I asked him where he got the MVSp and here is what he said

CUSTOM MADE. IM WORKING ON AN XBOX 360 PORTABLE NOW. MY XBOX PORTABLE IS FEATURED ON XBOX-HQ.COM IN THE FORUMS

So somone should turn the turd in. I gave him some more to think about.

The last time he actually sold anything prior to this was in DEC 2004. I think I can smell a hacked ebay account. This guy is probably a pro, buying some small stuff before hand and throwing up some other small crap so he's just not selling big ticket electronic items.

Guys we can all be sure that he wasn't the person that asked Ben to build the Neo Geo portable. For the simple fact that the guy that requested it lives in Great Britian.

On top of that I'd love to see that lying sack of excrement get what he has coming for blatent lies. What kind of idiot uses pictures off someone elses website and then makes the stupid claim in a response to a question, "I built it myself"?

that guy wrote:YES IT DID COME FROM BEN HECKENDORN. IT WAS BARELY USED. AND I EXPECT THE BIDDING TO GO HIGHER. IM GETTING RID OF TONS OF PORTABLE STUFF. IM WORKING ON A PORTABLE XBOX 360 MYSELF.

ben did make several other NEO-GEOps so maybe this is valid. but he said something about buy-it-now winner getting 6 carts. there's no buy-it-now button.

It can't be real

His quote's are full of lies: I'm making a -PORTABLE- Xbox 360 = impossible at this moment

(unless you were to have some uranium laying around)
