SuperDork3000 Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 (edited) So this is what I've started doing lately on eBay and scoring really good deals. 1.Go on eBay after midnight(preferably 2AM-5AM) 2. Search "game" 3. Select Video Games & Consoles from the Categories list. 4. Check boxes for Auction Only and Free Shipping and sort by ending soonest. 5. Score some of the best deals ever on eBay. I've been doing this lately and have been very surprised what games are going for at around that time.

7800fan Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 So it was you who kept outbidding my games!!! J/K Just stay away from that elusive rare system with badly spelled title that is still very cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperDork3000 Posted June 18, 2015 Author Share Posted June 18, 2015 LOL I actually feel bad for some of these eBay sellers...some are basically giving the games away at these prices. Some are selling for less than $2 with free shipping. Add in the price of shipping the item, eBay fees, PP fees, and the seller is actually giving the game away and losing money altogether.

7800fan Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Unfortunately what I wanted was outbid by someone with 18850 or so feedback rating. Anyone want to guess he's going to take that cheap game and flip it for $1,000? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

7800fan Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Hmmm quite a lot of games. And less than $2 a game final price isn't bad. I do hope you have a Japanese system or a modded system to play those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is sending by sea and it takes 4 months so not sure how much that cost. He offered me additional services: 120 USD Extra- Economy Air 8 weeks around 180 USD Extra- Express Air 10 Business Days around I passed. I will wait the extra 2 months if it takes that long to save the $120 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had one show up after the 4 months absolutely soaked and full of mold. It is a crap shoot for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

icemanxp300 Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 Well got my games in today and I'm a bit disappointed. Many of the cases got cracked as he packed them in stacks of like 25 and put bubble wrap around them. Plus many games I was expecting did not come. After looking over the auction again I realize he messed up and put two different sets of images. One in the images section which had many games I was buying for and another set in the description which are the games he actually sent me. I assumed it was all the same just different pictures at different angles and such as both lots had some same games in the pictures. Games I did not get, that I am upset over. Beyond the BeyondFinal Fantasy IVTales of PhantasiaTales of DestinyEhrgeizArc the Lad IIIGuilty GearClock Tower 2Dragonball Final boutDance Dance revolution 4th mix Other games I know I didn't get: Bio Hazard Directors cutMotor toon grand prixMonster Farm 2Logic Puzzle rainbow town7 parlor pro I got 104 games but so many cracked cases and they are different than US cases so I can't even replace them properly.

icemanxp300 Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 Just an update. I contacted seller and told him I was not happy. I wrote many cases were cracked and I didn't get some games that I was expecting. He said he would send me the games I was wanting to get from that lot. So got my package today of these games: Beyond the BeyondFinal Fantasy IVTales of PhantasiaTales of DestinyEhrgeizArc the Lad IIIGuilty GearClock Tower 2Dragonball Final boutDance Dance revolution 4th mix I am very surprised he sent me them as it was past 60 days and I could no longer leave him feedback anyhow. Great seller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
