caver Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Wow.... "conterminous" that's gotta be the most accurate description of the 48 contiguous, continuous, continental, NOT ME, states I've ever seen..... Learned a new word today.... So what of the other 2 states??? Also thought I'd comment.... Free shipping is great, but I think I'd have preferred non-free shipping with a combined shipping discount... Anyway, let me know about us zone 8 people, and good luck, Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad I could expand your vocabulary. As far as the shipping goes, I'll see how everything turns out and what feedback I get from the auction. I am sure if the winning bid happened to live outside the defined area I'd probably make an exception. This is my first time doing this so any feedback you have is very much appreciated. Thanks.

caver Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 (edited) Sooooooooooo you're telling me and other zone 8ers to bid anyway.... Cool! FYI, first class it doesn't matter it's the same price anyway.... Also if you use a flat rate box, same story..... It's when you don't do one of those 2 it's a problem... Since most of the lots are 1 or 2 games I am assuming they'd be shipped first class, and it's not a problem. Watch out on the systems though, you might want to check what fits and doesn't fit in flat rate boxes ($5 to $15), since shipping 5 lbs without one to your neighbor would cost about $8 but to me would cost $18.35.... Anyway, off to bid on some of the smaller items... Chris Edit: also is the GTA:SA the Hot coffee one? (how does one tell?)

bookman Posted March 8, 2011 Author Share Posted March 8, 2011 Thanks for the shipping info. As far as the Hot Coffee mod goes, if it was released before 2005 then you can mod the game to do the Hot Coffee thingy. I can look on the package tonight to see if there is any definitive marker showing it was pre 2005. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caver Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 (edited) If I'm not mistaken a hand full of stuff didn't sell... I'd suggest doing a second run, maybe make the groupings larger and start everything at $0.01 with actual (with the option to combine) shipping... Or maybe just throw all the leftovers in a flat rate box and start the bidding at the cost of shipping??? Either way I was kinda interested in some of the things that look to not have sold, just not at the costs they were at (Though it is kinda hard to make me happy as far as that goes, since I think the only real way to do it would be the filled flat rate box)...

bookman Posted March 15, 2011 Author Share Posted March 15, 2011 Thank you all for checking out my auction. We have raised a lot for my sister, but there's a lot more to go. I still have some games and systems left over and am planning on trying to get some more. I will be holding another auction w/in the next couple of months after I have another good collection of auction items. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
