It's gone now, as in ENDED.  I think the seller was one of us NLGers.

It happens, people are gonna do what they think is ok enough to make money to feed themselves or whatever, but it's one thing to offer this type of stuff privately and another to blatantly post it for the world to see that you're doing it. How does the saying go? It is what it is...

OK, I'm going to play the roll of Devils Advocate here. :296-
If you look at the pictures the Simm Cards are original hardware.  :89-
And without extensive, and expensive equipment the programs can't be duplicated. Not many here have $4,000.00 simm burners, but some here do sell them.  :5-
Now EPROM's can be.... uaa, backed-up for less than $50.00 and no one here has ever done that.  :60-

And NO, I'm not affiliated with or know who the seller was. Just striking up conversation from another perspective. :79-

The chips are IGT origionals, but the software is copied. Those aren't IGT origional stickers. If it was origional software, why would you go to the trouble of peeling off the stickers only to replace them with the same thing? Maybe they bought it from someone else and don't need/want it anymore?

DON'T LOOK @ ME.  It was not me & I don't know him. You don't see me selling much on EBay.

IF the seller is a member on this site and he reads this thread, I'll give him the $80.00 for the game NO questions ask  !!!!!!!!!!!!! Matter of fact I hope if I get them the eproms are copy's so I can put something else on them. Always seems a shame to toss a original in the trash. ( Snow Globes sucks )

95 bucks and you can have the eproms and a email.

Neon  The sticker on the simms didn't come from IGT.

Neon  The sticker on the simms didn't come from IGT.  
I know that Buzz, But just because the sticker is not original does not mean it was something else before?
Maybe the sticker did come off and they re-identified the simm? Maybe a tech cleaned the contacts with contact cleaner and it ruined the original sticker? There is no one here that can claim without a shadow of a doubt that that is not original hardware and software. There is always a possibility, that's all I'm saying.
Now IF the original program was erased and a differant program was installed is that intolerable?
If the software is original and the hardware is original is that an issue? Don't many here have equipment to keep a backup in case of disaster?
Are we basing a decision of originality upon a sticker? If so and I buy a new NFL team hat, it comes with a sticker to show it's authenticity. If I remove that sticker does it change the fact of being licensed?

"sorry  but everything i got thur jj was 1st class ,  i,m happy with the service i got thur them and other vendors here there supply a service to all slot owners , if it works and its a copy no big deal, its a backup"

You started this whole topic a while back.Guess you have had a change of heart.
