10 grand... and there is NOTHING you can do with it.

Well unless you are some software engineer that can write up some program that actually utilized the disk drive... for whatever reason you want to. Maybe transfer save files to it from mem cards? oh my, how useful! heh.

That's wierd I looked at his profile and he hasn't done anything on ebay since march 14 2002 then he pops up with this. I wonder if this is a trap.

Has anyone seen those pictures before? If not, then it's probably legit.

It could well be legit. I just ain't sure because it seems too good to be true ,and just a little strange that somone would want to part with that. To me it just smacks of some guy suckering people. But then again I am pretty paranoid about things for no reason sometimes.

What are you talking about? Who WOULDN'T want to part with that? It's like a 10 grand check he's been meaning to deposit.

I'm the fool who'd waste 10 grand for some stupid collectors piece rather than be the guy who makes 10 grand getting rid of some useless junk.

Guys, look at the picture of the zip disk. Now look at this:
Image
That is the real prototype. Notice the zip100 symbol in the top left of the real thing has a dark blue tab to the left and is directly on the corner of the disk, while the ebay item has it slightly offset without the blue tab. Additionally, the drive in the ebay auction is a slightly different color than the Dreamcast while the real thing is flawless. This could be a result of aging, but then why doesn't the dreamcast fade just like it?

Lastly, why does the auction drive have the expansion clip slots on the bottem like the Dreamcast when it is obviously shaped different? It's fake. That's why.
