I'm basically saying if he ever lowers the price to something reasonable I'd buy one. He keeps saying in the thread that he just doesn't want people buying them to re-sell them. Instead he should just be worried about moving them out of his possession. He wants to sell like 100 at $30 instead of just selling 200 at $15, which would probably be way easier.3GenGames wrote:Well still it'd be nice to say when they are made, you'd buy one. I mean, the molds for shells alone cost 5K I have been told from different people. I am surprised he can get them made this cheap. But yeah, I do think it's a tad expensive, but if you wait until after he sells 200-300....I think the price'll go lower.

Re: Mother 3 Repro, can anyone make one?
Making a run of 200 though would need to have their molds made and stuff instead of the company doing it. It wouldn't be cheaper, truthfully.
But I agree, the price is kinda high. I'm waiting too.

Yep, but he won't sell even half of them, so it sticks him with a lot of games.

right. Exactly why I said he should sell them cheaper (IE: move more of them).3GenGames wrote:Yep, but he won't sell even half of them, so it sticks him with a lot of games.
Re: Mother 3 Repro, can anyone make one?
I think once the 200 or so sell, and he gives up on the idea of making profit per cart, liquidation will be imminent. Can't say for sure, though.

Looks like someone is selling a Mother 3 reproduction on Ebay. Link It looks like the person just took the guts out of a flash cart with Mother 3 on it, replaced and case and put the Mother 3 label on it. Looks poorly made, but I'm still going to bid on it.

Yeah, except it's not an official game, and therefore is illegal to sell on eBay.XxBroBuzzxX wrote:Looks like someone is selling a Mother 3 reproduction on Ebay.

People sell pirates all the time on Ebay. I rarely see them get removed.YoshiEgg25 wrote:Yeah, except it's not an official game, and therefore is illegal to sell on eBay.XxBroBuzzxX wrote:Looks like someone is selling a Mother 3 reproduction on Ebay.

I've seen pirate carts, people reselling repro carts trying to pass them off as "ultra-rare" or something (a rather scummy thing to do), etc. on ebay tons.
