bojay1997 Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 The same guys on both. I know I've seen the guy shown as 2***s with private feedback a LOT lately. Seems like he just came on the scene over the past year and has been wiling to spend ridiculous sums. He also likes to bid up things in small increments and not just place his maximum bid. Another example of his bidding here. As of right now however our old friend johnsgirl2 is in the lead for this very nice piece. http://rover.ebay.co...=item1c35634137 2***s is Andre 81 who is a member here and posted in this very thread two above you. He regularly posts about auctions here mocking how much the high bidder bid when he is often just a dollar or two below the high bid. Funny and sad at the same time.

bennybingo Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 eBay Auction -- Item Number: 261244946566 Crappy condition console with 22 games and manuals = $1250! Question to seller: $1250 or $125? I think you made a typo? Answer from seller: No I haven't thanks this has books so please do not bother me with this silly comment my response to seller: each to their own.... good luck with that one! seller: Thanks already had people playing jokes and will report as I'm not here for time wasters Looks like the seller took your advice... http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?ff3=4&pub=5574883395&toolid=10001&campid=5336500554&customid=&mpre=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fitm%2FAtari-2600-%2F261253972979%3F ...sort of. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bojay1997 Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 I'm speechless: eBay Auction -- Item Number: 350849074073 I've never seen an Atari ST version of a Sierra game even sealed go for anywhere close to that. I guess the bidder had to have it because he was the high bidder at $250 and then had to go all the way to $500 to hit reserve. Nobody else even got close. Totally crazy.

+GoldenWheels Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 Probably the wrong place for it but not worth starting another thread for either and I bet you guys know the answer: Has anyone paid for an auction with paypal and then had it say (on the paypal page) that the payment was "unclaimed" by the seller? I've never sold but have never run into this as a buyer--every payment has just gone through instantly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never sold but have never run into this as a buyer--every payment has just gone through instantly. It is because the seller listed a Paypal address that has never been activated. Could be its their first auction and they have yet to sign up for Paypal. If they are not a new seller it's more than likely they put the wrong Paypal address into the auction listing. I would send a message to the seller and see what's up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would send a message to the seller and see what's up. Thank you atari181! I looked at his feedback (thinking maybe I had been fooled and it was all feedback for him as a buyer) and he has clearly sold before as people commented on his shipping and said "as described", etc. But the paypal page says "The recipient of this payment is Unregistered". I sent him a message. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+GoldenWheels Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Hmm ok the guy said they had to change their email and that I'll have to use his new one, which I assume means I have to send it via paypal outside of ebay. I don't have any real reason to doubt him (the old email and new are similar, just dif providers so story makes sense) but is this a bad idea? Is only for $8.50. I am just a little worried as I am not a super familiar ebayer and it says right on there NOT to complete transactions outside of ebay. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as it is through PayPal and not a 'gift' payment, then you are covered by their policy. I think you may even be able to reference the item number from eBay. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He bought six of them from the same seller for $5 each a few weeks back. Even at $20 he made a nice profit.

Defender II Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 I think the following ebay listing meets all four requirements of this topic. http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?ff3=4&pub=5574883395&toolid=10001&campid=5336500554&customid=&mpre=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fitm%2FVGA-GRADED-NM-80-ATARI-400-800-Princess-and-Frog-ATARI-Video-Game-System-NEW-%2F290967527736%3Fpt%3DVideo_Games_Games%26hash%3Ditem43bf042138%255D290967527736 Someone paid a grading company who gave it a grading of 80+ NEAR MINTcalling it a 5 1/4 INCH DISK GAME. I don't think I'd ever trust their grading system, they didn't even look close enough to read the box and see it is a cartridge game. Then the seller thinks it's worth $1,129.95, at least they made it Best offer and the plastic case will protect it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
