Great Giana Sisters - Postmortem
Hello Amiga lovers!
I asked Graham if it was ok for me to post this postmortem about the GGS debacle and he said no problem. I will be short. In the end, Basti agreed to refunding my money if I sent the game back. I took lots of pictures and shipped it. One week later, Basti did refund me via Paypal . As far as I'm concerned, the case is closed. I have shared hires scans of the cover so people in the future can at least check theirs. It would be very nice to have hires scans of a real version. Thanks to everyone on this forum, you were very helpful! -- david |

Sounds great - and I'm happy for you, David!
@bastibs: I'm impressed. Does that mean that you will also finally refund me the 100 EUR that you took for the copied Pinocchio CDTV? |

Later you have sold it on ebay with your account (ville9), although you have called it a copy! |

Honestly, I really haven't expected any other reply, Basti.
I just hope that you're going to stop fooling other users... Refunding the money to david10595 was an (involuntary) start at least. |

@ Admins
His account at AmiBay has been unfrozen, as the transaction has been resolved; it's now up to him what happens. We now have transaction feedback up and running on the site, so if anything goes wrong, we will know. |

seems you are well known for selling fakes etc for huge prices, there is about 5 emails on the SPS ticket system from you with seemingly wanted items.

Well as I sold him my spare disk (did not know about him by then), I also sold the version that could save. We were however lucky to read all tracks needed from my version, so we now do not need the disk he has anymore.
I agree with you - I have the boxed game and would not trade it for the image. Still nice to know the contents have been preserved. |

We also didn't know before that the swapped game or scanned cover counts as a complete copy and our opinions would be so different later.
In addition i wish no contact with guys of SPS anyhow. So no problem. |

Somebody interests here maybe? For pictures/details write only private messages or e-mails including offer please! Thanks. |
