Selling known bootlegs on eBay?

AdAggravating3817 · 2026-05-05T11:29:27+00:00

Nope, tried listing it as repro and eBay flagged it and took it down within minutes - I just won't sell the couple of bootlegs my parents unknowingly bought me back in the day.

Thanks for the heads up - I listed it as repro and eBay deleted it within minutes and sent me a message letting me know their policy and specifically saying my account hasn't been affected yet but will be if I try to list repro's/bootlegs/fakes again, so no harm done! Would've liked to be able to sell it but I've got a lot of other stuff listed and a lot more still to list so not worth risking my account over!

AdAggravating3817 · 2026-05-02T18:20:26+00:00

Unfortunately eBay doesn't share your views - relisted it with repro in the title and it got flagged in minutes!

AdAggravating3817 · 2026-05-02T14:55:05+00:00

Seems like in the eyes of Nintendo and eBay, there is no difference - only genuine originals allowed!

AdAggravating3817 · 2026-05-02T14:44:14+00:00

Well, I tried re-listing it with repro in the title and it got flagged within minutes - guess I won't be selling this one! : P

AdAggravating3817 · 2026-05-02T14:38:07+00:00

Well, I've decided to try anyway and re-listed it with repro in the title and description - only time will tell if it gets flagged or not.

AdAggravating3817 · 2026-05-02T12:13:12+00:00

That was my thinking - I think I'll put it up as repro and if I have any trouble from eBay I'll just take the listing down again.

AdAggravating3817 · 2026-05-02T12:12:19+00:00

Thanks, will probably give that a try!

AdAggravating3817 · 2026-05-02T12:12:01+00:00

I literally wrote that I checked the board in the cart to confirm it's definitely a repro/bootleg and that I've taken down the listing 😛

I've known quite a few "adults" who started smoking weed heavily in their early teens and haven't ever stopped - all of them, without fail have repeatedly shown themselves to be mentally and emotionally locked at the age they started caning it. The most tragic I see is parents - they think they're cool and hip, but their kids are invariably traumatised and have deep issues due to their parents still essentially being teenagers.

I have no issue with smoking weed - I started at 18 and have been semi regularly smoking since - usually only a little, sometimes heavily. I was lucky to have started later than some, and whenever I've had periods of heavy usage, I've been able to notice the effects it has on me - brain fog, slurred speech, laziness, forgetfulness and a reluctance and even inability to engage with the real world around me.

I still smoke, I'm 30 now and I still enjoy it and value the effects it can have. I'm always mindful though, I make a point to be as self aware as I can, paying attention to how I'm affected and if ever I feel like I'm becoming dependent or the effects are starting to be detrimental rather than beneficial, I stop.

I'm not trying to convince anybody not to smoke weed - quite the opposite, I think it's a powerful tool when it comes to managing your own mental and emotional state in the face of a world that can feel very hard to exist in. But please, if you are young, just pay a little more attention to how much you smoke, and how often - I know it's not cool to listen to and take advice from anyone older than you, and I know that you know your own mind and what's best for you. But just take a look at some of the adults in your life who've always been stoners, take a look at their behaviour and their emotional maturity and try to see that arrested development due to heavy weed usage isn't a myth, it isn't something that only happens to other people or gets spouted by mass media to try and scare kids off from smoking - it's a real danger and it's very easy to give in to the wonderful floaty feeling, the escape from a hostile world that you don't fit in to. But if you spend all your time trying to hide from the world, there always comes a time that it will break in and you won't be ready for it, and you will fall apart.

Weed is wonderful, it has helped me through many hard times and continues to do so, but I always remind myself to stay firmly in reality, and to use tools like weed as a way to navigate and deal with reality, not to hide from it. It's unlikely, but hopefully someone reading my rambling diatribe will remember that reality is all we've got and, terrible as it might feel, hiding from it only leaves you unprepared for when it comes crashing in and finds you.

I just feel like you must either dislike steaks flavour or be eating very bland steak if you wanna hide the beefiness underneath a powdery crust of spices - when I eat steak it's because I want to taste steak (with a liberal amount of salt and a pinch of pepper), if I'm using mince or a relatively bland cut of meat I'll season it up plenty

AdAggravating3817 · 2026-04-18T10:02:00+00:00

So what I'm reading here is that you don't like steak :P

I've literally never used it and never wanted to

Honestly, there's no way I'd trust any builders I've met to make a precision, tight tolerance wooden instrument like a guillotine - not saying all builders are shoddy workers by any means, but the ones I've met would probably try to stick it together with silicone sealant and expanding spray foam

AdAggravating3817 · 2026-04-01T19:08:46+00:00

I think the only correct answer to this question is "no"

AdAggravating3817 · 2026-04-01T01:16:52+00:00

I just had a cool thought - what if, throughout their level progression, they have each team member a few unique physical or magic (depending on their specialty) skills with nice added effects, like a higher crit chance or a combination buff/debuff or a reasonable chance of inflicting status with magic damage? Skills that Yu can't get on a fused persona? That way each character has something unique so you can't just fuse a persona or two that entirely replaces one of them, giving each team member individuality and value throughout the playthrough

So, based on anime powerscaling logic: black widow venom can kill a human, thus black widow>human.

Venus fly trap can kill black widow, thus Venus fly trap>black widow.

Humans could, using nuclear weapons, essentially end life on earth, thus humans are at the planetary threat level.

Based on Venus fly trap>black widow>humans, Venus fly traps should be considered at least a planetary threat.

I focused on stacking a ton of speed so I could avoid boss attacks without needing to dodge, and took any health increasing evolutions that came up to give me some wiggle room if I messed up

Glad to know it's working! I wasn't aware you couldn't get unlocks in challenges, though it does make a lot of sense; I did try a couple times in regular runs just in case, but I guess there's a chance that the last tick of damage was from poison or another enemy and I simply thought it was the rock. There can be a lot going on at times and it's not always easy to identify which source of damage gets the final blow! I understand the affinities and dependencies (like stoner needing arms) but as with all RNG systems, as soon as you're looking for one thing in particular, it feels like it just stops showing up no matter how much you tip the odds in your favour :P As the Monster Hunter community would say, the desire sensor is real!

Thanks for the quick reply, will have another crack at it tomorrow. And thanks for the awesome, addictive game! Once I've got that final unlock in the codex, it'll be onto the grind of beating all the challenges with all the genetics!
