OldSchoolRetroGamer Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 I didn't think you were screwing people but I did think $600 was high which is why I tried to trade into it. You ended on $540 shipped, and then ebay takes a FVF 10% off, and paypal gets another 3% and change which removed another $70~ and that still it bit into more with the shipping charge ($30) both put that fee on too. You probably came out around $430-450 in the end on that which is like 25%-30% less. And given the timing and a obsessed buyer noticing the listing he easily could have come out $100 more. What is your point? You did not get it, let it go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tanooki Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 I don't feel good about it one way or the other. The point was sure ebay could get a bid war, but it was just high given what that other post said about one being region modded, etc under that price. Stop seeing conspiracies where there are none.

Wouldn't he have paid the paypal charge (assuming he sold it outright instead of trading it) and shipping either way? Out of curiosity, what did you offer for it?

Tanooki Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 I had offered up my modded top loading NES (rca, stereo separation mod, led in light) console with hookups and matching controller. A complete in box Coleco Zaxxon tabletop, and the Nintendo Game & watch Popeye tabletop too. It hadn't gotten farther than that before the conversation dried up. I just don't keep large sums in paypal so I tried for a mostly trade type deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPUWIZ Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 I just don't keep large sums in paypal so I tried for a mostly trade type deal. I don't have PayPal anymore and I can pay via PayPal in the thousands, not sure what your point is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
