http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180720339379 Doesn't have the means to test.... But then has a second light gun game that is working.... http://www.ebay.com/itm/POLICE-TRAINER-GOOD-WORKING-GAME-BD-CPU-/180720339309 How does the work? Or rather not work? This is why when you post "not tested" we all know it means not working. Crap sellers. I know, I know... you guys keep telling me to not buy off of ebay. |

Untested means crap, broken, abused, incomplete and generally not wanted. ;) ;) |

What's funny is that sellers on Yahoo Auctions Japan will usually disclose every minor scuff and cosmetic blemish. I bought some used parts for a Japanese arcade game once where the word used to describe the item condition translated as "painful". They were certainly well used but still in better condition than most I see on public use machines in the USA. On YAJ, "untested" really seems to mean just that; the sellers are more than willing to disclose known issues. I'm not sure if it's cultural or just an ebay thing. |

I think it is an ebay thing. If it does not work just say untested and you may get a few dollars more. :angry: |

I sell some stuff untested mainly because i'm not always willing to spend the time hooking some stuff up or rewiring proprietary things to sell then for$10 or $20 because the time isn't always worth the return to mess with the stuff to see if it works properly |
