  1. Ebay is down 13% thats quite a bit http://db.powersellersunite.com/auctionsitewatch.php/
  2. I was Lucky Enough to his a swap shop right after a guy brought in a full box to trade in. The swap shop dealer gave the guy 1.00 per game and charged me 3.00 i got Wild Guns Mega man X Mega man X2 Monopoly Super Mario All Stars/World Super Metroid Zelda frogger Ms pac man EVO search for Eden boogerman a pic and flick adventure and many more games Wild guns is a blast btw Also picked up from the same place we love katamari for ps2
  3. ebay has been down between 2-4% each day
  4. At numerous K Mart stores Gamecube and pS2 game prices are being discounted to make room for ps3 and wii games I got brand new sealed animal crossing for 10.00 kirby airide for 10.00 and mario super strikers for 12.00 As well as Twilight princess for 15.00 Be on the lookout for great deals
  5. 24.99 used is not a good price...most places its 19.99 new On ebay you can get a used copy for 12 plus like 5 shipping gamestop is always overpriced
  6. http://www.amazon.com/Limited-Game-Bundle-...e/dp/B000NIG06M I saw this Yesterday at a game store for 45.00 and didnt really know what it was...It looks like its selling used for 75.00 I saw it new and sealed! maybe I should have picked it up..... someone is trying to get 600 new Anyone know about or seen this set.
  7. I was Lucky enough to find a complete copy at a salvation army for 3.00 its way better than i expected. Any one else play it? and are they similiar games on the super?
  8. No offense, but you have no idea what your talking about.
  9. I am not real happy about the free gallery. If you paid the 35 cents before for the gallery your auction would stand out over those who did not have gallery. Now that every auction will have a gallery it won't make a difference if you have it or not. The increase in the final value fees is going to more than make up for the 35 cents that eBay will loose out on the gallery. eBay isn't doing this for the sellers. eBay is doing this for eBay. There are better ways to make it stand out. Use the 75 cent gallery feature, is that not being reduced? I also dont know all the details nor do I really care, but the FVfees hike is stores only I thought? When You sell at auction, is that FVfee up as well? I think its a matter of time before someone REALLY competes with Ebay now and then traffic will be down and thinned out = less sales, infact, i think that is already beginning to happen. Unfortunately the upage to over 8% final value fee is for everybody and after paypal fees its almost 15% ridiculous really
  10. Im sure amazon is happy right now. Many people I hear even power sellers with hundreds of thousands of feedback are seeling there items on amazon now becauase of the ebay rules.
  11. You obviously dont understand that without the sellers there will be no ebay. Most power sellers and other people who pay most of ebay's profits will just take there business to amazon. and if Ebay realized they are losing money they will go back to their old ways..it may be to late then Well then they must not consider a handling fee which covers paypal costs "excessive". I'm not sure but I think I've just been called a liar. I don't have the email anymore this was years ago. There was no reason to save it. If eBay stores all past announcements then you can find it there I'm sure. Or someone could post an auction charging for Paypal and we could complain about it and see what current email eBay sends the seller. It may be different now but the email they sent out specificlly stated this was an option sellers could take. This is close to proof as there is right now. I'm sure this has been updated several times since but go look up the policy on paypal surcharges. http://pages.ebay.com/help/policies/listing-surcharges.html Now click examples. I bet if you search the web someone saved that email. No I didnt mean to call you a liar. You either misread the email, or it wasn't from Ebay. To be honest, I'd probablly have a hard time finding where I saw that it is against ebays TOS to use shiping to offset paypal and/or listing fees. But really, you'd have to be a pretty poor seller to pull that. That's hardcore deception, and all you'd do is sucker a few people for a short time, and after getting some seriously deserved negs for pulling such a stunt you'd have nobody buying from you. Why sellers can't take the honest road and use deception never made sense to me. figure in your expenses into the price of the product, and charge actual shipping. Don't bite the hand that feeds you by ripping off your customers. It's just plain dumb. PS...your link pretty much validates what I had said. You can't charge customers an additional fee for the type of payment the make. By hiding it inside the shipping fee you would be doing just that. Or, did you interpret the fact that they didn't name paypal specificially as free reign to charge a surcharge for customers paying by that method? Please tell me that's not what you are thinking. Its NOT the same, this has been proven wrong. Typical seller though....saying that when using deceptive methods the ends justify the means. If shipping is stated at $18.00, and the stamp is $2.00 what's being clearly stated is that the seller is a thief and a liar. But guess what? The days of pulling that crap are OVEROVEROVER now sellers will have to be honest or they will get a much deserved negative, and they can't pull the retaliation neg out of their butts either. By far the best move ebay has ever made. :thumbsup: Sorry to bruise your huge ego as a wonderful first class ebay buyer, but all of this bitching you have done about nonsense stuff and the way you back up ebay as though u have stock in it. I don't think there are many GOOD or BAD sellers that would want u as a customer. Saying things like Typical seller is a stereotype if u didn't know. If you think all of these new procedures are an improvement u must be high on something or have a good stock in the company. Sorry but you say the same thing over and over and no matter how many times you say it.........you never make sense. Ok...nonsense stuff like not wanting to get ripped off? And yes, I think the new feedback system is WONDERFUL AWESOME GREAT!!! I'm sure sellers who use feedback as a bargain chip, and/or rip buyers off with inflated shipping, etc are up in arms. And I make perfect sense. Ebay agrees. Now, excuse me while I get high on some HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! Oh, btw...no I do not now, nor have I ever owned Ebay stock. I just don't like scam artist sellers. Yeah I know...according to you that makes no sense. According to Ebay I do. If you are a seller and don't like it, may I suggest not selling on Ebay anymore. Funny...a lot of people must REALLY be pissed, after all this time of sellers like myself complaining about dishonest selling practices, Ebay finally comes along and fixes it to the extreme. Man it must kill guys like you to see my nonsense bitching validated.
  12. You obviously dont sell on ebay and are now going to leave negative for every little thing if its not perfect just how you imagined it. (Great) I must be the only one who this this is a wonderful thing,no more retaliation feedback from rip off sellers. I have had the need to leave negative feedback on numerous occcasions from sellers who leave out certain item,who send boxed games in fucking bubble envelope and whom are just plain rude to me because i have the goul to complain,but i have chosen not to because i know they will leave me a neg also,even though i have done nothing wrong.As a seller i am totally comfortable with this policy also as i always try and do the right thing and not send on the cheap and not rip off my customers.This policy will weed out the crap sellers and will encourage the good sellers...Praise Ebay.
  13. Shipping Fees have nothing to do with it. If i want to sell a 20.00 item it can be 19.00 and 1.oo ship 17.00 and 3.00 ship 2.00 and 18.00 ship its all the same to the buyer the lower the shiping the higher the price. thats just common sense I always wondered why buyers complain over the shipping price. Its cleary stated and if the shipping price is high more than likely the actualy price of the item was low. or they would not have bought it. Its all Relative. Well then they must not consider a handling fee which covers paypal costs "excessive". I'm not sure but I think I've just been called a liar. I don't have the email anymore this was years ago. There was no reason to save it. If eBay stores all past announcements then you can find it there I'm sure.

  14. I was always curious as to why metal gear solid sons of libery is basically free and all over and metal gear 2 substance is worth over 40.00 neither are rare. both are similiar style of play.
  15. They sell pokemon saffire and ruby and EMeral for 34.99 USED the walmart next door they are 29.99 brand new its really sad.
  16. Well for one Ebay is way cheaper on used games. and if you look at there 9.99 and under game titles you will realize that these games could be had on ebay for probally 1 cent and 3 shipping.
  17. I agree on the newer used games being over priced.... however it needs to be mentioned they are GREAT for older used games. Where else could I go in and pick up sports games that are a couple years old for practically pocket change? Not all of us are in there looking for games that just came out.
  18. I think its bad for the Consumer because they take any game thats popular (which of course they call Rare) and Price it anywhere from 35.00 to 50.00 One day just to see how mucht they rip of on trade values i took marvel vs capcom 2 there for ps2 which they sell for 59.99 when i brought it to see how much credit they said 14.00 credit that is less than 25% credit to what they sell for cash. Gamecrazy on the other hand is more fair in a way that they sell there games and mark at prices do to age and not rarity. Take for examplete fatal frame for ps2 is 8.99 at gamecrazy and 44.99 at gamestop. now it may be harder to get the rare games because they sell quicker. its good to know u can find great games for cheap while gamestop marks everything higher than ebay pricing.
  19. At my local wal mart they had brand new twilight princess for 20.00 for the cube all there 50.00 games were marked at 20.00 as they were making room for 360 wii and ps3 I also picked up fatal frame 3 for ps2 new for 20.00 there i hear thats hard to come by Not that I saw, although I wasn't looking for PS3 stuff since I don't own one yet. Mostly what I saw were some odds-and-ends Xbox 360 stuff (which my local Wal-Mart seems to always have too many of anyway) and those Wii and DS Holiday Bundles. For the Nintendo stuff, you can check out BD&A Gamer. They're the ones that put the stuff out: www.bdagamer.com Sometimes the Wal-Mart around here goes nuts on clearance prices. It seldom happens, but when it does, they offer good deals. Four years ago, I picked up four TI-89 calculators for $25 a pop once. One for myself, the three to resale. I only sold one though. I still have the other two. They've been opened, but only because the calculators were taken out of the plastic and kept in back of the store in the stock room. And many's the time I've gone in and picked up old strategy guides for games a year or two old for $0.50 to $2.00.
  20. Thanks ill have you paid by this evening for the ps1
