Ebay superpass auctions, what the?

blue58 · January 22, 2006, 11:46:29 AM

Friggin ebay removed my auction for the superpass2 & programmer, due to "can be used for duplicating games" crap, yet there are 10 auctions out there for the same item. Can we post stuff for sale here or is anyone interested? If not anyone have ideas where to sell it?

It is the superpass2 with programmer & usb cable, retail box, used for about 5 minutes, had a buy it now price of $25 which included priority shipping with tracking number, packaged and ready to go.

Yet Ebay has no problem with selling condoms..?

I wonder how the other auctions stay up??

Anyway, well if anyone's interested at that price via paypal, private message me, I'm located in WI and can get it anywhere in the US in 2-3 days (fwiw I paid $30.45 including shipping and it took 21 days from Canada)

Ebay has been taking auctions down like these for many years. I am surprised it took them this long to take down the SC auctions.

Quote from: "cheerup347"i jsut sold my superpass 1 on ebay.

yeah but theyre arent actually illegal are they?

its the roms that are ilegal.

i dont think they would have the nerve too take down something that sells so well.lol

they make a lot of money from peopke selling sc's

Superpass IS illegal. Any device who's sole purpose is to circumvent copy protection is illegal in the united states.

As for people that got their sales through, chances are ebay just didn't catch you in time. Or someone didn't report your sales.

What about homebrews? DS = Developer System too, right?

I believe it's the verbage used in the auction that causes the auctions to be cancelled by eBay.

A few years back I tried to sell a sealed OEM Win98SE w/USB support CD and manual and included a "sold as-is" hard drive with it to be within my legal rights to re-sell OEM Microsoft software. eBay cancelled the auction because the harddrive I was selling with the software was not a "approved" Microsoft harddrive. Meaning no OEM system came with the harddrive that I was trying to sell with the OS.

I then got a email from Microsoft the same day directly stating that I was not allowed to re-sell OEM products and if I had any questions to please contact them directly. :shock:

Acky: You can sell modified consoles and you probably will not have your auction ended unless you make that your selling point. Now, if you tried selling a modchip on ebay, the auction would be killed as soon as they found out about it.

The difference is selling a working console that can play backups versus selling a device that's specifically designed to circumvent copyright protections.

Especially with a modified DS. The hardware is not modified at all, and it's not exactly illegal to modify the software on a device you legally own. -shrugs- I don't know. I'm not a law student... I couldn't tell you exactly what is legal and what is illegal in those cases.

Can you use a condom for duplicating games?

mikesinclair · January 26, 2006, 05:30:17 PM

what you should do is sell something related like a ds game and include a free superpass 2, but make up the price for the superpass 2 on the ds game.
"cost for the game = the actual price of the game plus the cost of the superpass 2" Just buy a cheep used game from somewhere and sell that as the game that comes with a free superpass 2.

I sold a modded xbox on ebay, and just had to put spaces between the letters in any words such as "modded" and in the auction title i put "not" in front of modded. if you have certain words, it gets flagged by ebay and they will cancel it, but if you use the loop holes you can get away w it.

You have right to resell what yours as long what you sell is legal.
Bypassing protection is "legal" under some circonstance such as play imported games "not applicable for ds". And some other thing. Do you think Divineo would still be alive after all these years ?
