Brad2600 Posted March 12, 2003 Share Posted March 12, 2003 I have no clue of this guy's reliability but when I saw his auction, it seemed kinda fishy to me. First of all, he has no feedback at all. Second of all, no pictures are shown to represent the games he has. Third of all, they BIN price is ridiculous as most of the games are commons. Does he really think this will sell? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...6&category=3528 I dunno. I do think most of those games can be found for much less.

lonesome_pa Posted March 12, 2003 Share Posted March 12, 2003 Well, the 0 feedback does bring out the warning flags. But you have to remember, "they have to start somewhere". But, no pictures are a definate "no" for me, another warning flag. And the BIN is way too much. Even the shipping, I sent close to 60 games Priority Mail for about $6 or $7. This should cost less. Taking all that into consideration, one phrase comes to mind: "Alright everybody, keep moving. Nothing to see here". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad2600 Posted March 12, 2003 Author Share Posted March 12, 2003 I dunno. I just thought it was too much of a price. I'm selling 11 2600 games and the starting price is wayyy lower than that auction and there's no reserve either. Oh well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sku_u Posted March 12, 2003 Share Posted March 12, 2003 This person has probably been watching Antiques Roadshow or a similar show and thinks he's sitting on a moldmine. The seller is probably legitimate, but if he gets that much for those games, my 1s are going up for sale tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPUWIZ Posted March 12, 2003 Share Posted March 12, 2003 Even the shipping, I sent close to 60 games Priority Mail for about $6 or $7. This should cost less. That is not possible, I just sent 18 loose and 1 boxed game today (3.21 lbs) via Parcel Post and it cost $7.87 ! It would have cost over $10.00 via Priority mail.

lonesome_pa Posted March 12, 2003 Share Posted March 12, 2003 Whoops. Typo there. I meant to say First Class. Thanks for catching that CPU. I might be a dollar off or so on the amount, it has been awhile and my mind's a little tired tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would have cost over $10.00 via Priority mail. Sending 60 carts cost me $15.15 but I don't remember if that was first class or priority.

lonesome_pa Posted March 12, 2003 Share Posted March 12, 2003 MMF, that was probably Priority. I received a computer system (pretty heavy in my mind) that cost $12.15. I confirmed this before posting as I still have the BIG box it came in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPUWIZ Posted March 12, 2003 Share Posted March 12, 2003 I think you hit the 'quote' button on the wrong person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lonesome_pa Posted March 12, 2003 Share Posted March 12, 2003 Again, I might have misquoted the amount for the games. I may be remembering wrong. I have sent out so many packages in the past few weeks, my mind is probably jumbling them up. Sometimes I need a swift kick to the head to get the ole' gears grinding again. So, if I am misquoting, please accept my sincere apologies and I will accept any flaming that is due. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
