 Ac> Just do your homework, and make sure the seller isn't a scumbag before
 Ac> purchasing there. With that said, I've never had any bad dealings on eBay.

The SNES Classic Mini I bought on eBay arrived a couple days ago, and it turns out it's a fake.  :(  Some things were a little 'off'..  I saw a guide online on how to spot the fakes, and I think the biggest giveaway is that when running, the menu looks a little bit different.  Also there's an odd message displayed when resetting the device.  Also, I wanted to hack this one and add more games (like I did with my other one), but the software used for hacking these things didn't recognize it.

The seller overall looked okay (there were a few negative feedbacks, but it seems a lot of sellers end up having some people complaining about something, so I wasn't sure that was a big red flag).  I took a couple photos of my screen with this device running to show the menu screen & odd message, and took a screenshot of the guide to spot a fake to back me up.  I also reported the item on eBay, so hopefully a good resolution will come.
