Link removed by saint. Please don't post such links

Granted they say no ROM/CHD included... so you get 7 dvd's of stuff you can get  for free?

You can't.  They used to remove them, but unless you're the IP rights owner, they won't touch it now.

For whatever it's worth. 
I am on dialup and have bought a set of roms from a burner before in the past.  I'm not condoning the ebay thing but for those on dial up a full Mameset is pretty hard to come by.

The Lazarus ROM burning service is available for those who want to obtain ROMS.  These are individuals who will NOT make a profit from burning ROMS.  You can easily find them by googling...

I think it's all of our business if what they are doing is hurting our hobby.

I agree, people who do burning should not make a profit, yet some still charge $3-5 per dvd or when you can get dvds now for $.80 a piece, and dvd burners for $65 with a 10,000 MTBF (mean time between failure) rounding up gives you less than $.01 per disk burnt, giving a grand total of $.81, so wheres the other $ per disk going??????  perhaps that should be looked into

What about their time they took to do all this? To occupy their system resources? There is no real price for those things, and I think if people are willing to pay the prices, the burners should be able to set those prices for their time

I say I'm all for people who want to charge for ROMs.  Why?  Because there are many more that are willing to do it for free.
