+JasonlikesINTV Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Did anyone here recently win this complete River Raid for $7.99? eBay Auction -- Item Number: 140758063828 If so, did the seller try to back out of the deal and offer a refund? ...possibly giving an excuse about accidentally shipping it to the wrong buyer? More to come... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IntellivisionDude Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 I seen that but missed it. I did snag the boxed Hover Force he sold for $4 I seen in his completed auctions he sold a Complete Dig Dug for $19 and a complete World Series for $6.50 Based on all his other stuff he has for sale, he is not a gamer. He is just an online thrift store who just happened into the games and didn't do any research. He sold everything untested including some systems. Lazy seller looking for a quick buck. I'm glad i snagged Hover Force. Wish i could of gotten the Dig Dug, still need the box for my collection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fushek Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 I won two of his games ... CIB River Raid as you mentioned and CIB World Championship Baseball. I got an email from him stating that he sent me the wrong game (World Series Baseball instead of World Championship) and he wants me to forward that onto the right person (he's sending a label). He says he's still sending me my stuff, but offering a 60% discount for my troubles in the mishap which isn't really necessary since they were dirt cheap to begin with. I know that I've mis-shipped once or twice in years of selling, so it's not unheard of to mix up a shipment so I'm willing to give the benefit of the doubt. I'll let you know if anything else alerts me to an issue though ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they paid for my trouble of shipping it back to them. So it all worked out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boxpressed Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 I think it's funny and kind of cool that both buyers are members of AA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're probably the only few that are trolling eBay constantly ... waking up in the middle of the night and instinctively reaching for our iPhones to check eBay for new Intellivision items ... leaving parties early if out of service range in constant fear of missing that BIN Spiker for $10 ...

Fushek Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 As a warning, I'm moving back on target ... Received River Raid today (box is in good condition but overlays are crappy, but for 8 bucks, no worries!) and World Series as he said. Still waiting on the label ... but seller seems legit.

Those River Raid overlays are the worst of the whole INTV collection. It's bizarre how crappy they are, I swear if you look at them funny they start flaking. Great deals had by all from this guy.

Fushek Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Glas to see you got it Fushek.....but what was jason refering about? Did I miss something? Before I received the stuff, I got an message that he had shipped the wrong thing, wanted to send a return label to ship it back, offered to discount everything 60% for my troubles, etc. I think Jason was thinking that there might be something fishy going on. Maybe the person that he didn't ship the item to, he offered to give a full refund and forget the transaction (which makes sense, for what he charged for the items, to ship it all around, he's not going to be making much).

I like labels but more interested in a nice box that looks impressive on my shelf. I never use the overlays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+JasonlikesINTV Posted May 31, 2012 Author Share Posted May 31, 2012 Glas to see you got it Fushek.....but what was jason refering about? Did I miss something? I won the World Series Baseball...among other games from the seller. Long story, but at the last minute he cancelled the order saying that he didn't have the game and sent it to the wrong buyer. He did refund my $6.50 plus shipping, and said that IF the game was returned he would sell it to me for half price. This raised red flags for me since it was the rarest in the bunch and the only other one listed was pikachu's (asking price $160). I figured he may have seen that one and possibly wanted to back out of the sale. This happens all the time and it just seemed too fishy. That's why I asked about River Raid, the other most valuable. Ironically, World Series went to Fushek with River Raid and I was just being paranoid. On a side note, the seller was really nice - incredibly fair, prompt replies, answered all my questions, probably lost money on the game because of the hassle. I received the other games today and they were all well packaged. If any of you get a chance to do business with him, you will not regret it. Very professional and one of the better sellers on eBay.

Agreed, very professional and apologetic. Actually, I just heard from him last night and he sent me a label to return the game to him. Hopefully, it then can make it's way back into your hands! He even gave me a refund for my troubles (totally unnecessary as we all got sweet deals on his stuff in the first place). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
