Simon_Belmont never sold him a reproduction, he only sold the ROM for $2500. That repro is something Jayfenwick's friend made for him. Just so that's cleared up.
I'm the one heading the Contra fundraiser, I'm not sure how Assembler is allowing ours but it may have something to do with me not being a new user there, whereas Jayfenwick had only like 30 posts or so by the time he was banned. Plus the whole topic was only a couple sentences basically saying "I have the ROM, I want $1500 for its release," when most fundraiser topics usually are a bit more wordy with details so that the people reading can feel more assured.
I feel bad for the guy spending so much but I don't know why he'd choose to just run away. Get a feeling we may have lost this proto, now. Simon_Belmont really shouldn't be selling ROMs unless it's a community effort where it goes public after being paid for. Just giving it to one person after having been burdened with such a huge price tag clearly doesn't work out well. |
