Call me a good Samaritan you might. Or an idiot of no caring for money. But I believe in gaming, and the preservance of gaming history, not collecting. But then again I suppose if you wanted to be so sharing, you could make the auction paid via a paypal through a site that hosts roms. And have everyone pitch in who wants the sucker. Instead of pay for the whole thing yourself. I wonder how much other games are near forgotten to history. I shudder the thought.

I'm pretty sure the buyer isn't going to have a ROM dumped (which would erode much of the value) unless there's financial incentive to protect against that.

I also just skimread the article. Well then we can only hope that someone who does own the cartridge does upload the rom onto the internet. For archival purposes. Don't want to see a single game disappear from history. Ah yes, I supposed I commented before reading other comments is why. I also just skimread the article.

Or where it just makes sense. If I can't buy it in a way that'll support the company, I'll just emulate it. This stuff is nice and all if you're a collector, but it doesn't support the companies at all. It's sad that some people would want to make downloading this as a rom illegal and not want to release it for re-buy on Virtual Console. It's unethical.
