we're aware of it, but it's simply not worth anywhere near the price he's asking.
seller is very greedy, wanting near $200 for PCBs which are clearly missing roms just because they're 'not in MAME' and even more than that for broken PCBs just based on what game they are.
I was hoping that when we paid over the odds for 'Android' he would see that as a kind gesture and donate dumps of the rest of the stuff for free, instead he seems to have used it as an excuse to further jack up his prices.
unfortunately some people do want to hold things for ransom, in the end, everybody loses. Considering how much this seller seems to use MAME this seems a classic example of somebody who prefers to take rather than give.
contrast this with the guys who found and donated all those rare prototypes a year or two back, it's night and day, we're lucky some are less selfish when it comes to our history.
