It bothers me too, it's horrible.  I'm certain that he must be breaking at least a handfull of copyright laws, but as far as the item he is selling, as far as being legal auctions on ebay, the loop hole is that it has his "front end" which he can claim as what is actually for sale, and the games are just freeware/abandonware.  I'm sure that's not the case with all the games though.  I might have to win one out of curiousity, then demand a refund once I get it and threaten to contact ebay.  Lol.  Fairs fair.

Hah, not true - did you look at his other items?  He has about 10 of those auctions going at once, and some are as high as $10 bucks.


A couple other things then I'll let it go, for now. Even at .01 notice he charges $5 shipping. Costs maybe a buck to ship a bare CD. And I'm betting he puts some sort of GRTech "label" on the CD so people think it is legit when they get it. I'm starting to get more annoyed the more I think about it, tons of auctions, up to $10 each for the CDs, $5 shipping each, possible further money to "download" the other games, BIG money potentially...............  Hope no "lurkers" watching this discussion. Jim, just curious, is there a published list of members of this group?
