Hacking Copyright warning from Ebay when selling CFW 3ds

[Dr.Hacknik]

It just depends if someone reports the listing or not. If no one reports it you'll have no issue.

If that's the case for this guy; probably some douchebag or Nintendo Ninja reported it.

By selling it as "hacked" you're hoping to find people who don't know it is so easy. You're profiting from your knowledge.

I guess its not really my problem anyway if he's just dooping someone who dosent know it can be done for free (or is just lazy) but its just the principle.

1) i know you want as much as possible, but is it really right to profit off of something that can be done for $free.99

2) you can't sell something branded as hacked for the purpose of piracy and then expect them not to complain about it. They would obvisouley like to make money

That aside though, the OP could have worded it/labeled it CFW ready and essentially sell it for the same price, because it makes it look like its the buyers choice, and therefore not his fault. All he's doing is saying you can, not that its already there.

In fact, he's lucky he didn't face legal trouble for selling a system with pirated content.

eBay took my 3DS down too but I guess it was because the title I choose. Another 3ds I sold was with Luma3ds but the title said "3DS version 9.2"

I wasn't selling it with anything pirated on it and I was only asking for the price of the system and the new sd card. I wasn't asking $300 like some people I saw on there trying to make more money off of an easy process.

I've sold a load of hacked consoles in the past on ebay, a few got removed but most sold ok, I've always thought it was effected by what is in the title listing, basic info there & more full info in the description & there won't be any problems unless someone reports the listing

But what did you name the listing?

And did you put anywhere/imply in the title or item description that it was hacked in any manner?

 

[TheCasketMan]

That happened to me once, and nothing ever happened. The just removed the listing.

Napster isn't an illegal service anymore. It's kinda like Spotify or Pandora now.

It was a point to nostalgia, but ty.

It had CFW in the listing so I was encouraging it, but that's in a grey area like torrenting programs. Obviously Nintendo can do what they want I just wanted clarification on if there would be legal action or fees and how to sell it another way.

Cfw directly states it can be used for piracy. And you can still sell it just use a different name
