holygrailvideogames.com Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 (edited) http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...y0%3D%26fvi%3D1 I contacted the seller while the auction was still live and asked that he not end it early. He told me that he had an offer for $150 and I told him that I would bid more than that at the end of the auction. I saw the reposted auction and could have grabbed the buy it now but he didn't show Malagai in the picture and I noticed that 2 out of his last 5 feedbacks said that he didn't deliver the item.

ItsAtariTime Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 (edited) Well, I did get the buy it now on his other auction ( didn't offer a price, Just to clarify ) I was a bidder on his first auction as well.. never would have figured he would list it with a buy it now.. He also told me he had a $150.00 offer and just like McGrail..I told him I would be bidding more. By the way.. you won't see this one for sale.. it's a keeper! Mcgrail, I think this guy is OK, I sent him an e-mail after I hit the buy it now..just to make sure it was there still..and he said he is a man of his word and it will be sent..and I believe him! edited to include I ddn't offer a price.. I stumbled upon his other auction when I went to see who outbid me on the first auction. Edited April 2, 2008 by ItsAtariTime Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ItsAtariTime Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 ...and people piss and whine and wonder why ebay raises their fees. Just to clarify it for me How does hitting a buy it now cause Ebay to raise their fees ? Is that all you do but monitor how much ebay makes? I am really worried about you..

It was, I just heard back from the seller (I have a new method to get information out of sellers. LOL), it was itsataritime who made him end the auction and place a buy it now on it.

ninermaniac Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 I'll be honest. It really chaps my ass when others do not even give the rest of the free Atari loving world a fair chance to even see an item before they manipulate and and negotiate. I believe that eBay should make it mandatory that any questions asked about an auctioned should be automatically posted so as the buyers can see what is being asked about an item. Side deals really chap my ass. I know that some see it as an opportunity to prosper or carefully achieve an item that can potentially add value later as to where they may if needed resell to earn a profit. As it has always been said to me by wise elders around me. What happens, good or bad, will always come back at you. I just hope you are ready for the consequences.

CPUWIZ Posted April 2, 2008 Author Share Posted April 2, 2008 I basically told the guy that I would give him $10, if he told me who made him end the auction and make it a buy it now, as well as his PayPal address. Here is the answer I got... itsataritime XXXXXXXX@msn.com- brandon5052 Did this answer your question? If not, let the seller know. Item and user details Item Title: 3 button craftsman garage door opener remote security + Item Number: 270224382339 Item URL: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...em=270224382339 End Date: Apr-06-08 12:52:10 PDT From User: brandon5052 (131) 97.8% Positive Feedback Member since Jan-09-05 in United States Location : CO, United States Activity with brandon5052 (last 90 days):I have bid on 0 items from brandon5052 This message was sent while the listing was active.brandon5052 is a seller.

Well, for what it's worth in this debate (if one would call it that) Convincing a seller to add a BIN or end an auction and start a new one with a BIN is...well, uncool but really not a big breaking of the rules (or maybe it is?) Side deals however to me at least should be grounds for a slow torturous death by way of testicle stomping. theyreagainst Ebays TOS and in the end costs us all money. What itsataritime did was very uncool, but not totally evil, at least imo (and that says a lot coming from me who is always the first one pissed off at the rulebreakers who make ebay cost us all more $$).

CPUWIZ Posted April 2, 2008 Author Share Posted April 2, 2008 What itsataritime did was very uncool, but not totally evil I think it is perfectly fine, unless you are a re-seller, which was the original point of my post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPUWIZ Posted April 2, 2008 Author Share Posted April 2, 2008 LOL NO that is NOT my e-mail address!!! That is sooo damn funny.. I never would have guessed someone would do that.. but damn..that just gave me GREAT IDEAS!! CPU.. I guess I owe you an apology as I would have thought the same thing!

Thanks I know it isn't your email, it is his paypal account. So you was just screwing with me... Damn..I got heated over this one. He also whacked me on my feedback.. which I was really confused about and then I saw your posting.. and went off the deep end. I could have told you his PayPal account info as I did pay him..lol But anyway.. no it wasn't me.. I have been laying low on buying..but when I saw this BIN I had to jump on it. I already have Malagai but I am hoping this one has a better label! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPUWIZ Posted April 2, 2008 Author Share Posted April 2, 2008 So what you are saying is, he made up the answer to my question? In other words, he lied and said you did it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ItsAtariTime Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 (edited) So what you are saying is, he made up the answer to my question? In other words, he lied and said you did it? AFTER I did the buy it now, In my e-mail concerning whether or not the Malagia game was going to be in that lot and when he responded that all games that were in the first auction was going with the second auction including Malagia. I then told him he better cancel the origianl auction as someone would get mad if it ended and the high bidder didn't get the items. Looks like to me the Buy it Now option went out for someone who offered the $155.00.. whic wasn't me. But again..I did tell him to end the other auction since I bought it with the second auction.. so I can see where the confusion comes from The better question would be.. who asked for the buy it now? I know who one of them are.. but I am sure there were more as he told me after the auction he had a lot of people ask about this game.

Atarimania75 Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 Whoever tries to manipulate a seller to sell an item for much less than its worth through ebay whether it be by a buy it now listing or through a side deal i feel is wrong and just as bad either through ebay or not. I could care less about ebay getting jipped as they are making too much money as it is. A seller that sells an item like Malagai in a lot of commons most likely doesn't know the value and a person trying to get the item for a price not already posted is just sucky. I don't really believe its cool to do whether your a reseller or if your not.....your still cheating that seller......even though the seller should do their research they may be too busy working and taking care of their family.

ItsAtariTime Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 So what you are saying is, he made up the answer to my question? In other words, he lied and said you did it? Hey CPU, After I read my feedback and seeing your post I sent an e-mail to the seller so I could understand what happened. As I said, I didn't ask for a buy it now..and I didn't make an offer.. however here is my e-mail to him and his two replies. I know I don't have to defend myself, I have asked for buy it nows.. so that is not my concern.. however I didn't on this one so I am afraid I found one that was done for someone else. so here ya go; My Sent e-mail: "Dear brandon5052, Brandon, I don't know who is telling you that you got taken? I didn't tell you I would pay you $155.00 for this game. I was bidding on your other auction and when I checked the new listings I saw this buy it now auction. I am getting slammed over at an atari collectors site and one guy said you told him I made you place the buy it now. If you check your e-mails..I did NOT off you $150.00 or $155.00 for this set..I just bid. I am very confused! - itsataritime His response; "Dear itsataritime, that's not true i have the deal with you and i am happy with it, hence the pos. feedback...i dont collect or know any thing bout this stuff....i do feel a little taken not by u just in general since i found true value after the deal was done....im not at all upset - brandon5052' And another response to the same question I sent; Dear itsataritime, you just found a bargin and took advantage of that more power to you - brandon5052 So with that, I think that shows I am in the clear on this one :D So if I stepped on someone's deal.. in a way I am sorry.. and in a way I am not.. :P :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
