thanks for the link LOL

Does Morrissey still write songs? I used to listen and I have a lot of his solo stuff and The Smiths.

Here it is:http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1392417652

Yes .

Pac man is a fun game damn it/ And I posted about 3's company many months ago but thanks for the screen shot. GEt ready for the copyright lawsuits to roll in now.

how many combinations are there in powerball?? Remember a few years ago when that syndicate bought every single posssible lottery combination when it was up in the hundreds of millions.? I wonder if a bank would give me a loan for millions of dollars if I have a sure thing like playing every single possible lottery combination???/ LOL

I'm not looking for anything particular. Just let me know what you have to trade. There are over 500 games. I have about 150 so there are many more that I don't have than I have.

If the power supply doesn't work you might need to get a new chip. I had a 4 switch that needed a new chip which i got for $5. THe problem is figuring out which of the 3 chips needs to be replaced. I had another atari so i was able to test and see which one didn't work.

I have 3 sealed games from oshea's that I will send priority for a trade. I sold them on ebay and the person never sent payment. I forget what they are and don't want to bother relisting them. So make trade offers. Ok I just looked and resealed the package. They are kangaroo, battlezone , and super football. Just looking for common games that I dont' have. Doesn't matter if they come with instructions or not.

Does anyone know what Todd Rogers got on this game at the expo? I'm interested to know what is possible on this game.

?adfklsdfajkl;

Can you explain to me how this quote sums this up? This guy was thinking. Thinking he could make more money on a game that isn't rare if someone didn't bother to check.

The instructions say everything is randomly placed. Does that mean everytime you start the game it will be a different location or does it remain the same.

I tried to talk some of you into gettign on twin galaxies when the activision quest started and someone mentioned that someone should start a high score page. Now at least one of you has changed your mind about twin galaxies. Is it because of this barnstorming thread and the fact that officials from tg came and visited?

THe item i split shipping on cost about $25 to ship. I agreed so I could sell the item. The buyers of loose carts appreciated the fact that I charged actual cost when i was selling loose carts. $1.30 for the first cart. Actually I charged $1.25 but it cost $1.30. I sold about 20 to 30 carts. Everyone else on ebay charges $2 to $4 which is fine. I avoid auctions if i don't want to pay what they want. Another one will come up for a better rate in a few days anyway.

HIs 2b time is more remarkable.

Do you mean that you won't charge people more than it costs to ship, or that you won't charge *anything at all* when shipping someone a single cart they have won from you on eBay? I don't think anyone has a problem with paying the actual shipping costs, it only becomes a problem when shippers overcharge you (sometimes considerably) for shipping, lining their pockets with the difference. No one is going to expect you to ship them their eBay winnings for free! The larger problem is that every year it's costing more and more (especially through the USPS) to ship merchandise, making it less attractive to purchase inexpensive items on eBay. The solution is to use cheaper shipping methods (parcel/media mail), alternate carriers (UPS, FedEx, etc.), or just not buy items where the shipping ends up costing more than the individual item. This is one reason I like buying large lots of items, at least then the shipping per item is considerably less than if I bought them all individually. ..Al I think if you go and compare rates for differing weights you will see that the USPS is almost always less than other methods. I don't understand the people on ebay who say they ship fed ex or UPS because it's less. I don't have any problem if that's the method they want to use but it's generally not true that it costs less.

IN order to ship from your computer and house y ou need a scale to weight your items.

That's pretty funny. I can't believe someone would actually say this. What a load of bull^%$&. I'm sorry, there is bull, and then there is BULL. And that's BULL. If someone ever tried that with me I'd give them a negative on the spot without even trying to work it out. She probably tells people she has a whole team of workers that help run her auctions. Let's see, Taper, Box holder (To hold the box while the taper tapes the box), Tape cutter, Box folder, Auction poster, Deliver to Post office, Labeler, etc.... , while she "Coordinates" everything. What a joke. Allan THere are small businesses that sell a lot on ebay and some people who sell enough to require maybe one or two. This is believable. Look for the people with 10,000 to 30,000 feedbacks in just a few years.

YOu'd feel "weasely" asking the buyer to pay for the full shipping cost?? LOL ARe you serious about this? I can see thinking like this if you are selling to one of your friends here on the boards but are you talking about selling on ebay? I have absorbed shipping costs when I have sold on ebay though. There were times when I underestimated and I didn't go back and ask for more money. There was also a time when I agreed to split the shipping cost on a heavier item I sold. But I would never sell an item and give a shipping cost in the item description that is less than what it is going to cost me.

It costs about 50 cents for a bubble envelope for one cart and it costs 80 cents for the first class postage. If you factor in the small amount of gas from driving to the post office it is reasonable for it to cost $1.50 to $2 for one loose cart. I agree $3.5 is too much for one cart as I don't really care about getting priority for one cart unless it is super rare and I am paying $50 to $100.

Damn it Pie. NOw I am wondering what you are describing. Do you think it is lowbrow to put "Low shipping" in your item description? or something about shipping?

I think i know the fastest way to the bridge pieces but that still takes 35 to 40 seconds to get them all back in place. Then all the criminals have to be caught. Is there something I am missing? Will I have to figure this out on my own?

Sorry for my last response. I wasn't reading your post carefully.
