 Rare SMS Pad Checker cart

I saw a SMS control pad checker cart on the bay and was curious as to how rare an item like this might be. The price seems a little high but I could be wrong. Anyone have any more information on this item?

| It never stops to amaze me how much info is on the web about obscure SEGA items. Thanks for the info. So is the price asked too high for such a normal item then? It isn't exactly a proto or beta of anything. | |

Yeah it is not realy a "rarity". I wouldn't buy it for more than 10$, because it can be made out of any cartridge, just replacing the cartridge rom with 0.99$ eprom (with the program on it). I don't believe this case is anything else than that.
EDIT Look I just made one also with battery save memory :-) with small help of the Monopoly cartridge...

I totally agree, That price on ebay is insane. I also have a home made version that is pretty much identical. P.S. jpx072 - Whats the red thing sticking out the side of your SMSII? |

To james costello...just the multibios mod .. its a turning switch for switching the bioses. (http://www.smspower.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=10908)
The other two are language and 50/60Hz switches. |

| hmm...you know, remove the sticker from that monopoly cart and stick some "aged" (a.k.a put in the toaster oven for a few minutes) tape and label, you could fetch some coin on the bay from those saps ;) Mark an "M4" on it to make it look official lol | |

I just noticed this item (including bid from smspower :P )
Its at a ludicrous price of $152.00 (AUD) now, I'm geussing the current high bidder is a reseller probably hoping to make a quick buck. |

| I don't see why you would have to use Monopoly? Mines made out of a Transbot cart, its only 32k so doesn't need a mapper.. | |

Sure :) monopoly is my dev cart, I use it for testing... there is a socket soldered, so I can change eproms anytime. You can use any cart. SMS can handle up to 64KB (or just 32KB? now I am not so sure...) without mapper.
BTW- It would be fun if the cart on ebay is also a home-made... :) |

| Stepanic is out of his mind, had an obsession with this cartridge since I refused to trade him one of mine... But really this is insane as said. Making fakes at least would reduce the insaneness of this. ;) | |

| ha ha, I cant beleve he has paid that much, and he knows full well who can make carts on sega8bit on request. this is surly a case of bidding too much in the heat of the moment and not expecting the other bidder to have gone so high?! | |

| Doesn't surprise me one bit. eBay has gone so far as to allow bidding type games like "bid racer" lol. It can become am obsession from what I have heard. | |
