So here is something that really pissed me off for the past week or so. There was this auction in the Latin American equivalent of eBay called Mercado Libre which claimed to have a lot of all the exclusive rare games including a NWC cart. Not in a single part of the auction did it stated that these games were copies or repros and even decided to post a list of how much the games are worth (originals that is) instead of coming out with the honest answer that these carts were fake. Lets take a closer look at this moron's attempt of dishonesty.
As you can see, this is the list he had posted on his auction. Nowhere do you see any explanation that the carts were actually fake ones. I know for sure that the NWC was a fake but also had declarations from NES collectors over at NA that claimed some of the carts looked "funny". If you go back to the first photo, you will see that the auction ended at 15,000.00 Soles which is around 6,000 dollars more or less. There was a lot of commotion about this auction as it was bombarded with questions of the authenticity of the carts which were either deleted or never replied to. People from all over the Latin American countries kept their eyes on this auction until someone came in and placed an infinite bid on it to ruin it. In this case, I'm glad that person did it because it wasn't going to be fair to let someone pay so much money for something that it's wrongly described. There were many other reasons why this auction was as false as the seller tends to claim his honesty. For once, wouldn't you want to sell such rare and legit beauties in such sites as eBay rather than a site that's mostly unknown to the world? It would make more sense to post them on eBay for the bigger audience and even bigger offers. I also went into further detail of this seller and found out that he actually has been to the US as well as has some repros only exclusively to the member of NA so he must know quite a few things about how things go.
Furthermore, this photo should explain it all. It was part of the auction and a totally false one. There are claims that the NWC cart only works on toaster models so that's one flaw in this photo. The second is the switches the original cart has. They are and always have been in the upper left side of the cart and not in the middle left of the cart. Claiming this is a real NWC is just pure bull crap.
I think the photo of a real NWC should say so for itself. I won't go into much more detail but just so the world of scammers know, we are out here and we are going to find your dishonesty. Don't you dare try to trick any real collectors out there with your scams. You are cowards! I spoke with the owner of these carts myself and he claims how it is so easy to criticize someone through the internet which he is right about that but I also suggested that I will message him when I'm in Peru once more to tell him everything I need to tell him to his sorry ass face. You really think I'm afraid of bastards like him? Bring it on, as to this day, I haven't heard a reply from him.

Good call to point this type of scam out. So someone actually paid about 6,000$ for this fake? Man, that sucks.
That's the best part actually whoever bid on the auction and won it never intended to pay so justuce was made after all.
