General \ A Great bargain (possibly a scam)

slimed says:

whilst searching for DS screen protectors on ebay i came across this: miniurls.com/
(made a miniurl cause the real link wouldn't work)
That seems like a REALLY good bargain, 7 dollars for a screen protector PLUS a free game, and they're pretty well known titles. iv'e made a purchase and i asked for my free game to be Pokemon leaf green, i'll keep you all updated on how it goes...

slimed says:

oh god i hope not! lol. nah i reckon they'll give me leaf green, because i think the number system is just to make things a little more convenient for the buyer.

Smells like piracy. They'll probably send you a game, but it'll have a badly-printed label (if it comes with a label at all).

It's not a good price, considering that if you wanted pirated games, you can get them for free from the internets.

maybe so, but at least buying them from another seller, which makes THEM the criminal. plus, you get a game cartridge.

Actually, being in possession of pirated material makes you a criminal, too.
