Shawn Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Schoolgirl got a nice deal on this lot https://www.ebay.com/itm/Lot-of-6-Atari-2600-Video-Game-Cartridges-Halo-QB-Euchre-Test-Cart-more/202235911922 Why do you care so much about what they are doing to post it in the interesting auctions section?

roadrunner Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 (edited) Why do you care so much about what they are doing to post it in the interesting auctions section? It was a nice lot regardless of the buyer. Would you have been happier if it was a status update? I seen alot of cool items that sold, no one else seems to post sold items here. I guess everything has to be a big secret? Edited February 21, 2018 by roadrunner 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPUWIZ Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Most people don't find completed auctions interesting. I know I don't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CPUWIZ Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 I guess i'll save these listings and pics for my scrapbook then. Why not post them, when they are still interesting? I bet several people here would have loved to bid on that, just for Rubik's alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+stupus Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 (edited) Oh wow. Yeah I didn't realize it was a bin either. Those deals just go to whoever can refresh the most times in a day. Biggest misses I have seen lately were a cib chuck Norris for $25 and a cib up n down for $25. 2 I still need and never come up. That's what can happen when the boxed rares never come up....an uneducated seller puts 1 up as a bin at the price of a loose cart as they have nothing current to compare to!

Tanooki Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Goes to show accidents happen but you really do need to use that review button before putting something live on there. I never start them instantly and use a post it time a bit later in the evening I set stuff up to be certain. I once screwed up but nothing that monumentally off and it was a small loss so I ate it. Knowing how I felt on that I can't quite blame the guy for pulling that stunt, but it was a bit over the top to kick the buyer in the teeth demanding more or forget it. There was no robbery involved, but there was rotten behavior demanding more or lose it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swami Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Am I wrong or isn't this a $45 cart in a $20 box with a 50 cent plastic sleeve and $1 plastic protector box with a $250 price tag? https://www.ebay.com/itm/Home-brew-Atari-5200-Tempest-The-Legend-Returns/142434570693?hash=item2129c311c5:g:JzsAAOSwbiFZWr8o Tempest for 5200 in custom box in plastic sleeve, which appears to be taped shut, and a plastic protector box.

Swami Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 This guys really weird. Selling unlabeled mystery carts for $10 a piece. https://www.ebay.com/sch/m.html?_odkw=&_ssn=somnusfable&_armrs=1&_osacat=0&_from=R40&_trksid=p2046732.m570.l1313.TR11.TRC1.A0.H0.Xmystery.TRS0&_nkw=mystery&_sacat=0 Actually, these should be in the weird, funny thread. That's what you get for posting at midnight on a Friday after a few. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+KylJoy Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 This guys really weird. Selling unlabeled mystery carts... You know, I really struggle with all of the BS items on Ebay. Who in their right mind would drop $10 on a cart that they can likely pick-up at a local Vintage Stock (or your local game store name here) for $1.99. It doesn't seem worth the time and effort to take pictures and post an item like this. But then, who am I to say? Maybe someone out there has more money than they know what to do with and really wants an unknown M-Network cart shell. Related, I REALLY wish there was an option to permanantly ignore an item, even if it is relisted. You know, like those Intellivision items on the staircases that get listed over and over again for years that no one is ever going to buy since you can get the same stuff for a lot less in a dozen other listings. If we could click a box that says "Never see this item again" that would be spectacular. I spend a lot of time reviewing items that I've seen 1000 times before. Does anyone know of an external search engine for Ebay that does this? Alas, I, too, have several items perpetually listed. This makes me want to go and get those updated/removed etc. so other folks don't have to suffer through looking at them again and again. I'll go do that this weekend.

derFunkenstein Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 (edited) I would be too. Mistake or not a sale should be honored regardless. They should be, but even outside of eBay, sites will cancel orders made at ridiculous obviously-mistake prices. It's my auction here, but I think this CIB 32x is interesting: eBay Auction -- Item Number: 253471449616 Edited March 6, 2018 by derFunkenstein Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NISMOPC Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 I would be too. Mistake or not a sale should be honored regardless. I lost quite a bit on a couple 130XE/65XE auctions I listed last year, but I honored the winning bids, because as ebay states, the seller is responsible for all information in the listings. Too bad they do not practice this and force sellers to honor those prices. It's all good. I've also won several auctions because of this and the winning bids were honored, so it pretty much evens itself out for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't sold on eBay in many years but I too have lost money at times honoring mistakes I've made. It happens. If you're an upfront seller you learn from that and honor your commitment.

Doubtful he will hold up on the deal, he is now asking for another $500 to match an offer he recieved after the sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
