    Alright, I sent him this email, lets see what he says in reply. lol

     

    Wow, thats great! This is in really good condition. But ya know what makes this great for me? This will be great in my collection! I mean wow, this looks just like the Quadrun pictures from Atariage.com! Even the slight scratches on your game match the picture of Quadrun from the site! It must be the same game! And your scans of the manual! Man! They even had the SAME filename as the atariage manual scans! Wow! I'd almost think you stole those copywrited images and are using them for your own auction! You know though, I just need more info. Can you copy some pictures from another atari website, and send those to me too? Then I'll feel safe buying a $300 game from you. I mean hey, if I'm gonna send that kind of money I dont want to get cheated or anything. Heck, I'd be able to press legal charges over $300. Thats a misdemenor punishable by up to 18 months in jail. But of course you knew that, thats why you are getting the perfect pictures to represent your games, right?

     

    Thanks!

    DO NOT BID!!!!!!! BEWARE!!!!!!! :x :x :x

     

    I emailed the seller and asked for pictures. He sent every image from Atariage. Even the manual page scans. He didn't even change the picture names. Aargh! I hate people like this. I'm gonna reply and ask if he has any pictures from any other Atari based websites he could send, too. Say I'm a collector or something. Heh :ponder:

     

    Wonder what he'll do?

    wow!  i wonder where the seller got the games.  obviously neither the seller nor the previous owner knew the value of quadrun...

     

    Seller said he got 60 boxed Atari games for about $2 each at an estate auction. (I emailed him) He had no idea any of the games were particularly valuable.

    I hadn't found anything at the Salvation Army in months but I still stopped everytime I drove by. Well today for $5 I got an Intellivision system and 28 games. Most of the games came with the overlays and instruction booklets. Some of the rarer games were Motocross, and Dungeons and Dragons. I had stopped at about 20 yardsales prior to this and found nothing, so this made my day much better!

    Actually more like half a text book :sad: , but since I shattered my elbow and cant work for awile I need to get every dollar I can from selling on eBay. Hopefully my cast will come off before I go back to college. I go get reconstructive surgury in about... 5 hours now.

    1) Back sellers from deadbeats...I still have to pay sellers fees even if I never receive payment...granted it may only be $.35-$.50, but that adds up, especially if your not a huge profiteering "Power Seller

     

    Actually there is a form somewhere under seller services that has eBay refund your money from deadbeat buyer auctions. Law & Order is on so you'll have to find it yourself. :P

    Ok, maybe I'm missing something here... say for instance he paid with a check and then wanted the item sent to an address other than the one on the check... would you do it? I sure would, without question. Could he still cancel the check? Yep.

     

    I've sold probably close to 100 things through paypal, and probably half of them have gone to unconfirmed users. None of them gave me a hard time. I don't think this guy did until you gave him a hard time. I think in this case you stepped out of line. You entered into a binding legal contract to sell him that item. He could send it to Nepal, and as long as he pays for it, you have to send it there. Period. I don't know if he has or will, but I would say he'd be justified in leaving you negative feedback if you won't send it to the address he asked.

     

    Just my 2 bits.

    As a seller on eBay I've noticed the following:

    1. To avoid any problems send stuff in boxes if it can be broken in mail.

    2. Priority mail now costs almost the same as parcel post. Look it up. I went to send a 5 or 6 pound box the other day and the difference between parcel and priority was like 45 cents.

    3. If you want to make a profit consistantly calculate postage before giving total to bidder, and then just charge exact shipping. I post right in my auction : "Buyer to prepay plus exact shipping costs, will probably be around $4 or so". Anymore if you are just 1 or 2 pounds off in calculating the total, or if you are a couple zones off, you might end up having to absorb a $4 or $5 lose. I know, because I did this the other day.

    I've sold on eBay for like 5 years. My feedback is almost to 800. I had 2 negatives (both undeserved) back like 2 years ago. Then clean up until now. In 3 weeks I've gotten 3 negatives, all for stupid things. 2 of them were because I didn't contact the bidder.... only I did! Even after re-forwarding the message to the people they still say I never emailed them. And another thing broke in the mail and I got negative feedback. I've sold for many years, and I've never had the problems I've had as of late. Has anyone else noticed this?

    :x :x :x :x
