Title: It came from Ebay

What you are looking at is an auction for the 'rare' Pokemon game, "Pokemon Arcoiris".  This game is a ROM hack of the Pokemon game, Pokemon Ruby, meaning that it is a modified version of a game being sold on Ebay, and therefore, it isn't legal.  However, it already has 5 bids, plus, you can see the seller is selling more 'rare' Pokemon games, which are also hacks burnt onto a cartridge.

So?
If it's illegal than he'll get in trouble.
But before that, he'll get money for hacking.

I'd bid if it was like $5, but I guess I can just Google for the ROM for free...

People have been selling pirated games on eBay for years. It's nothing new.

This one's heavily modified though.  It's like selling homebrew but worse because you're also ripping off trademarks and intellectual copyrights at the same time.
