+Lathe26 Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 MTE-201 cartridges for sale. I suspect that the seller has multiple of them (since the photos look so similar). Get 'em while they are hot! Currently for sale: http://www.ebay.com/itm/351222349309 One that sold last week from the same seller: http://www.ebay.com/itm/261650707638 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBWW Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 I've actually had decent luck communicating with sellers, although some take a few days or don't reply on weekends. Overall good experiences, though. Especially after I have bought an item. I get pretty good response, I often though won't buy item if they don't respond.

Andre81 Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 I get pretty good response, I often though won't buy item if they don't respond. So you ask them before you won an item to ship in a box? Also most items are BIN now, so there is no time to ask them before the purchase.

Also most items are BIN now, so there is no time to ask them before the purchase. I always do. If they don't respond, you don't click on BIN. Otherwise, you're doing so at your risk. There is no excuse for a buyer not asking questions prior to a purchase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no excuse for a buyer not asking questions prior to a purchase. Of course the buyer has to ask questions regarding item condition etc. before the purchase, but shipping is part of after sales and customer service. And a buyer can expect a response from the seller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBWW Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 Yes, I do ask it they don't say it in the ad. I really don't like to have to deal with the whole return item thing or bad feedback. IF I really must have the item or if it's price that is worth the risk, I'd do it. Maybe putting Armor Battle $400? in the Subject Line would help them read it. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And a buyer can expect a response from the seller. It is always good to have a trail of communicated expectations in messaging. Obviously is LIKE new item that comes crushed in no longer like new. Or a NIB/Sealed game that comes damaged from shipping is not expectable. For me any game I ship over $40 buck or so also goes in a plastic sleeve as well as box packing.

And a buyer can expect a response from the seller. I always ask about shipping before I bid unless the seller specifically says they only ship in a box or offer a box option. There are some sellers that just don't get it and I don't have the time or interest to return items or open claims on a regular basis. I suppose I may miss out on a few underpriced BINs every once in a while, but it's far better than dealing with multiple returns every week and frankly, most of the really good stuff is still sold in regular auctions anyway, so I'm not too worried about it.

Troy_Whelan Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 When selling, I have always packed my items well and shipped in a cardboard box. It wasn't until I started getting questions like those being discussed that I started listing my packing and shipping practices in each listing to help potential buyers. Adding that information to the listings has helped a lot, both with reducing questions and with increasing bids/sales. Troy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason is that as a buyer I had previously been burned badly by bubble envelopes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atari_Bill Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 Exactly why rediculous buy it now prices damage the hobby as a whole. Right or wrong, many people gauge the worth of what they are trying to sell by other listing prices, not sold prices. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ignorama Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Its exactly the same cart, may the buyer did not paid? I also had several times problems with buyers who won an auction and immediatly wrote to me, that they not want the item. But there is no doubt than the ended auction shows the same cart as the one which ends in three days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+JasonlikesINTV Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 (edited) The seller also might have multiples but could be using the same pic for each auction. The buyer of the one from 09Nov2014 left positive feedback mentioning that it worked well.

Ignorama Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 But if you make so detailed pics it seems weird to sell multiple carts with the same pics. I would not bid on this item in this case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACFinPGH Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 Anyone want to buy me an early Christmas present? Rather comically, when this came up on my Ebay feed, 3 items later this one came up...given unlimited funds, I'd still buy the $2.99 one.

scott9771 Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 hey a question on repro boxes. do these affect value to a collector or? i picked up a diner repro box and wonderin if i can get good money for it with cart and manual on ebay or is it undesireable cuz a repro? i still prefer the originals. the back covers have so much better detail. i have the best original diner ive ever seen and wonderin. what to sell, i have many loose diners could throw in repro box. maybe i should hang onto my original? not much worse than the repro box. opinions? i see some and wonder if they r repro boxes and they dont state it........scot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
