I'm pretty sure that it's a bootleg that would be illegal to sell in the US. It looks like it's not even a final release that they are selling.

Re: Isn't selling this illegal?
There's a project to remake pokemon red; its called Shiny Gold.
But since that auction shows places from Gold/Silver, its probably a earlier revision of Heart Gold/Soul Silver that they are selling.
I'm pretty sure that's illegal.
EDIT: Actually, its a gold/silver remake. The pictures are straight up stolen from that project page.
Edit 2:Wow, he even takes a credits pic from the project.
Edit 3:Here's the project's official page.

Re: Isn't selling this illegal?
How is this illegal?
Isn't he just selling a flashcard with a dump of the rom and (un)official(homemade) packaging?

Re: Isn't selling this illegal?
Ebay doesn't even allow flash cards. But he's selling a rom, copied to a flash card (definitely illegal) and passing it as a legit game.HotDog-Cart wrote:How is this illegal?

it might not be illegal, but it is definitely immoral. this guy is profiting off of someone else' hard work and ripping people off by misrepresenting what he is sellingHotDog-Cart wrote:How is this illegal?

Re: Isn't selling this illegal?
I like the case. I;d buy it. xD
Re: Isn't selling this illegal?
But the project is not making any money off of the intellectual property, while this guy is. Doesn't that make it illegal? Maybe the project is fair use.Triton wrote:it might not be illegal, but it is definitely immoral. this guy is profiting off of someone else' hard work and ripping people off by misrepresenting what he is sellingHotDog-Cart wrote:How is this illegal?

Re: Isn't selling this illegal?
It's equivalent to selling a pirated copy of fire red, since that is what the game uses as a base.bassmasta wrote:But the project is not making any money off of the intellectual property, while this guy is.
