Why don't you report some of the groups that are setting up ways for people to get their PSPs done? Your forums certainly have it and so does the Sony ones(I started one there). It might help others find ways other than buying the battery

» What is wrong with enterprise per se.
I am enterprising a bit with this new unbrick method. I set a few ads on the local interwebs so that people in my city can come by my house and i'll unbrick / downgrade their PSP for them for a small fee.
Of course enterprising in this way is different from these *****s who are just ripping people off.

Enterprising is investing in a product and trying to make money out of it.

» Supply and demand.
Anyone who employs the service of an individual to unbrick a psp or buys an (admittedly overpriced) unbricker battery is most likely someone with no technical knowledge and no other way to enjoy the benefits of a homebrew enabled psp. Nobody is forcing them to pay for these services or batteries and I think they should have the option to if that really is their last resort.
80 dollar Unbricker battery> 200 dollar official firmware Psp.

» Half a Rip Off
Is just the battery being sold? Not only is that greasy.. its also a complete rip off. You can't do anything with just a battery. These people are selling batteries that CANNOT unbrick/downgrade without the MS.. they dont even function as batteries while they're converted. (At least they wont boot the PSP, they will power it while its on)
That is GREASY. These people should be shot and pissed on.

My kid has a PSP with custom firmware, and not one of his friends has custom firmware, they are all dumb and have the official firmware. So if he bricked his PSP, he wouldn't be able to borrow a friends PSP, as they would all be useless.
I'm sure he's not the only one in that situation, so people selling the battery and memory stick are actually doing the community a service. It's the but munchers selling just the program that should be sodomized by team c+d

But when i think about it these offers can be just what one needs.
Imagine you knew no one with a homebrew enabled PSP so you cant get your hands on the Modified battery or the Memstick. o.O
for unlucky ones like that ebay might be the easiest way to regain a fully functional PSP.
But these should not be much more expensive then memstick +battery alone =(

I don't think he's gonna sue me because in this case he would hurt himself.
You can't create the needed files on your PC and you still need a functional PSP to perform the minimal 1.5 FW install. So if he really removed the copyrighted material off the memory sticks then he's lying in his auction by stating that everything is ready to use.

» Reported
I reported a number of PSP Unbrick batteries and overpriced services started the day of Pandora's release earlier today and I used PSP Unbricker as the first keyword search I did. Enough people like me may have reported them that they were taken down. I hate it when people try and take advantage of others who just don't know about stuff like this.
Personally I don't see a problem with an unbricking service for people who only have 1 PSP and it bricked for reasons not associated with homebrew, as long as they don't charge insane amounts of money for something as simple as putting a Pandora Battery in with the proper memstick and pressing X.
You always get the greedy *****s that ruin things for everyone.
