I once won an auction for the FM Towns version of LOOM, by an italian seller. I can't remember for how much, but it was a bargain for an FM Towns version.
Then the seller contacted us to ask if it's alright that it's a pirated copy - he asked because he had previously gotten a complaint about that. I said it wasn't, and he got all angry (because he didn't understand what the fuss about not wanting pirated copies was about - and for a pirated copy, the price would have been much too high anyway.
)
In the end we agreed to something, and did not accept the game, and he did not get his money either.
Still, this annoyed me to no end.
