Paralistalon Posted January 28, 2003 Share Posted January 28, 2003 I hate just missing auctions like these: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...8&category=3537 So, how often would you say killer deals come by on ebay? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPUWIZ Posted January 28, 2003 Share Posted January 28, 2003 Probably around 3 or 4 today, I've been monitoring eBay all day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nukey Shay Posted January 28, 2003 Share Posted January 28, 2003 Add $45 for insured UPS shipping?? WTF? UPS automatically insures $100, and there is no way that package costs more than $10 to ship. Quote: The items have always been as expected, but past bidders can sure cause themselves a lot of grief. Sounds like an arrogant ahole to me.

CPUWIZ Posted January 28, 2003 Share Posted January 28, 2003 It's the "I hide the shipping costs where you can't see them" trick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nukey Shay Posted January 28, 2003 Share Posted January 28, 2003 Yeah...and he's "biggin up" his positive feedback, when in fact it's not all that much. Here's one of the complaints: Complaint : After auction ended I questioned shipping charge, he then insulted/threaten me! Response by sheik*yerbouti - Refusd 2 pay clrly stated flat $18 shipng cncld paypal paymnt after reqst track# Yeah, sure...that's why it's $45 on this auction...right?

screamin1 Posted January 28, 2003 Share Posted January 28, 2003 I finally got what I think was a darn good steal on eBay. I always seem to miss the good ones. The auction I won this weekend using BIN had 20 games, mostly common, but included Crazy Climber. The BIN was $25. Should be able to sell the remaining games for at least $10 so not a bad "steal".

Foxy Cleopatra Posted January 28, 2003 Share Posted January 28, 2003 I recognize the controller with the white joystick, but what are those similar looking ones with the black joysticks? Was this a variation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So your the person who beat me to this auction. I missed it by about 10 seconds. Nice find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paralistalon Posted January 28, 2003 Author Share Posted January 28, 2003 Oh wow. I didn't see that crazy shipping cost. I suddenly don't feel so bad anymore. And it said "I ship UPS insured ONLY, make sure you can receive UPS at your location BEFORE bidding! Shipping will be around $15 for these various items, packaged in a new thick walled cardboard shipping container overstuffed with foam pellets."

MrRetroGamer Posted January 28, 2003 Share Posted January 28, 2003 So how much IS the shipping cost?? On the top it says $45, in the description it says $15 and on the bottom in the payment details it says $10. WTF??? Whoever got this may have got a good deal, but you still have to deal with the seller first before you can claim victory! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lonesome_pa Posted January 28, 2003 Share Posted January 28, 2003 Doesn't that buyer sound familiar???? Check this and this one out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He charges $$$ for shipping and then gives bad marks when the buyers refuse to pay his "hidden" charges. For that, his account deserves to be suspended. And if whatever you are shipping is worth $100 or less, UPS insures it automatically (no extra charge needed). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
