AtariLeaf Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 Atari XE system The shipping price coming up for me is $298.89 US? Am I getting some kind of weird mistake here or is this seller actually being this blatant about avoiding ebay fees? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemoncurry Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 It says $60 to Wisconsin... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 Looks like he's using "UPS Expedited Shipping" to Canada, instead of USPS. That's part of the problem. Shipping is $51 for me, which is still overpriced from California to Texas. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariLeaf Posted December 5, 2008 Author Share Posted December 5, 2008 That would explain it. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buyatari Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 Well that is one way of saying I don't ship to Canada. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omegamatrix Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 Well that is one way of saying I don't ship to Canada. Only $298.89 US shipping, yes shipping, just shipping, to my address. UPS is really a good deal, that's the way to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buyatari Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 I think that calculator is busted. Shipping to Hollywood isn't bad. Shipping and Handling US $25.95 To 90210, United States UPS Ground Estimated delivery Varies UPS delivers within 2 - 7 days after seller ships item Loss/Damage protection included up to $100 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the.golden.ax Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 He has it selected for Express (overnight) I'm sure it is just a mistake on his part. I can't imagine anyone shipping something that is 20 years old overnight... if you didn't need it after all this time.... why would you want it that fast now?

phaxda Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 The holiday season... last year I shipped a 2600 set on the 23rd, I think, overnight to a wealthy suburb of Arizona. Sometimes you just never know--people wait till the last minute and then hit a BIN for $99.99 for their Christmas console. And pay crapload to have it shipped FedEx, though it was actually not that bad for CA to AZ. The only thing that surprised me is that they didn't spend the extra $50 to get a console CIB from another seller. Turned out to be a great buyer, too--even sent me a pic of the family sitting around playing 2600 Combat on their insanely huge flat screen with the tree in the background.

Captain Beard Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 I can't imagine anyone shipping something that is 20 years old overnight... if you didn't need it after all this time.... why would you want it that fast now? I fondly recall the time I sold a laserdisc of Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore on eBay and the buyer very excitedly asked me if I'd overnight it -- and even offered to pay me a bunch extra just to accommodate him. When I asked him what the rush was, he replied (in a variety of font styles and sizes, simulated from memory as follows) "I haven't seen this movie in 20 YEARS and I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it! Please ship this immediately! I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE IT AGAIN!!! Thank you so much for auctioning this! I'm so HAPPY!" Hoping to cut short further communication with an obviously crazy person, I overnighted that sucker ASAP. The next day, he e-mailed back to thank me and to say that it was even better than he'd remembered. OK, fella... whatever you say... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayhem Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 No shipping however is ever going to be as insane as THIS though...! (and I have no idea what happened to eBay, script glitch I think when creating this page while I was browsing) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
