jimid2 Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 What is it with some Ebay sellers? eBay Auction -- Item Number: 180233890224 I mean, really, how can anyone be so stupid that they don't bother to do 5 minutes of homework on the very auction site they're posting to? It wouldn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that if someone is regularly selling new Lynx II's for $70 or less, you're not likely to get a BIN of $250! and this is a re-listing!! The idiot originally had this up with a BIN of $300! This kind of crap just drives me nuts... You just know there's gonna be a handful of Pawnshops looking up Lynx prices on Ebay this week, and they're going to throw their Lynx IIs under the counter with a $200 price tag on them...

Ransom Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 That's it...our extra Lynx II is going up tonight. It's MIB, so I'm putting a $500 BIN on it. Or do you think that's too low? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemoncurry Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 (edited) The same seller has a (big whoop) NIB Game Gear for $400! And if that Lynx box is anything approaching "perfect" I'll eat my hat. Still, I should hope pawn shops know better than to go by unsold BIN prices. Don't they have a price list akin to the Kelley Blue Book for most of the stuff they deal with? Update: the guy actually got $470 for a previous Game Gear! Not to mention $293 for a Nomad! And $300 for a NIB original Game Boy! So I guess he expects more crazy people to pay what he's asking for other new systems... Edited April 17, 2008 by lemoncurry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+madman Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 There's never any harm in putting a large BIN up there. Sometimes people just want an item instantly and don't care what they pay. It's a sellers market on there, you can't fault the guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobra Kai Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 I agree, as long as the starting bid is still $.99, who cares what the BiN is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaguar_fan Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 Without doubt these prices are way too high... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HrdCorHillbilly Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 Don't blame the seller. Blame the idiots who buy his stuff. I've never seen a Lynx box like that before. Is that a rare box? Maybe thats why he thinks its worth so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
