Addendum: Since my first purchase, more have shown up on a different Indonesian market website. However, I do not trust this website at all. It is impossible to access the site to view the listings without signing up beforehand. After attempting sign up, not only do they want me to download an app to a phone, but also the email address I used got nuked by spambots. Their trustpilot rating is also through the floor, and the Google image result cards are also labelled "Cek Descripsi". I won't give the name of the website, except that it ends with pee.
So many e-shop websites, but I can ensure you that Tokopedia is one of the safest in Indonesia, there are some "bad sellers", but you can check their reputation rank and buyer testimonies while you browse.
if its the orange one from singapore then the site is legit(and is more like amazon) but the listing might not be. Avoid listings made by new accounts and paying thru outside channels. Refunds are not as robust as their direct competitor atleast in my Neighboring home country. Search on both platforms is frustratingly lackluster.
I'm Indonesian. The description on the item said that the seller marked it as non-original as they are unsure whether it's original or not. Anyway, congratulations on your finds. 👍
So this is how random niche collectors are made. I've always wondered how could a normal person collect (aka hoard) hundreds of random "meaningless" tidbits. Thanks for the insight, great video!
I think they might have been messed up at the factory, the board that was in there looks very similar to the boards in the Memory King 1 cards from Fujiwork which were for PS1, i agree that it was likely a bad batch, from when they were manufacturing both, not that hard for someone on the assembly line to grab a couple of the wrong boards. Then they probably got caught later on but sold in a shippig box full of em and bought by someone in indonesia. I definitely don't think it was malicious, memory cards don't just fit into other shells like that, even sony ones don't switch shells easily unless they're the exact same model, they fit too well to be a random memory card shoved in there on purpose.
I too think the case and box are real but at some point the internals got swapped. But it really is perplexing as to why. I doubt it was deception on the part of the seller because I think they could easily fake things that are much more desirable. I am thinking maybe a collector owned and used them, but wanted to keep his saves to maybe swapped the card internals before offloading them?

Subscribed because of the Bully OST.

I love nerds who do stuff like this like I do too :)
That was a fun video to watch....But I think you need to complete your collection now with all memory cards sealed and new to really seal the deal :P
@@TheRyoyo Noooo shhhhhh 😭

This is a beautiful thought ngl
