Behold! My awesome deal on a Sega CDX!

This thing is just awesome. I can't say enough good things about it. Can't say the same for the seller.

 

I am kinda pissed off at them, because they only put it in a yellow envelope. No box, to stuffing, nothing to protect it. There's really no excuse for that when I paid the exact same price for shipping as I paid for the item!

 

He sent me a message saying that shipping cost more than he charged me, but that's his own damn fault. He likely figured out that he sold it for about $60 to $100 less than it usually goes for.

 

I guess I shouldn't be bitching becase it doesn't appear to be damaged and it does work... The package job he did still irks me, though. I almost want to tell him, "do you have any idea how much this thing is worth?!?" But obviously he doesn't.

 

I almost left his some grey for the pathetic packaging job, but I didn't. I gave him all low marks though, and explained how awful the packing job was. I kind of regret not doing it now. Oh well. I got an amazing deal.

Rev. Bob, Glad the CDX works... A shame about the rotten packing job....

 

Sadly, too many sellers couldn't pack an item properly if thier life depended on it

I still shudder thinking about my TurboGrafx 16... it was crammed into a box so small that it bulged out the sides... no packing material, nothing. To add insult to injury, my mailman literally threw it on the front porch....

Good price there, I wouldn't mind a CDX for $20. They really are a nifty unit to own and keeps things simple with less wires. I wouldn't have bought it because the auction looks wierd and the item location is in Canada (I'm picky), although they do have a great feedback rating and a local telephone number.

Congrats on the great deal but too bad about the crappy shipping.

Awesome price on the CDX.

yeah good deal and they are great systems, I got one when I was a kid and used it a lot as a portable CD player when I'd go on family vacations. And if you don't have it already, get Silpheed.

Damn, an awesome deal! And it works! Take care of that system!

Excellent price, I got mine locally a while back for $20, can't beat it. The CDX may be my favorite console for the size and compatibility, a great way to get your Genesis game on. And yes, it works with the 32x and the Master System converter with a little effort

nice deal, i found my loose one at the trade center for $40

then i sold it for $40 or so

 

my brand new one cost me $150 shipped tho

[Rev. Rob]

Here's the posative feedback that I gave the guy (which I now regret):

 

almost gave you a neg: Packing was AWFUL - Shipped in envelope only. Very, bad

 

Here's the guy's response:

 

Dear Sir ,thank you for your feedback,but if you check the shipping label you will see the cost of the shipping was $7.00 more than the item price and the shipping price together even it was my errore and i am more than happy to serve you,thank you so much loved doing business with you,god bless you and away keep you.

Regards,

joe

PS.talking about the sega cd item

 

I wish I gave him negative feedback just because of the way that he writes!

*Jaw drops* That is an AMAZING price you got that CDX for (of course, you already know that).

 

I love my CDX - I picked it up awhile back at my local game shop. I think the deal-maker for me was that it had the "official" Sega CDX carrying case and was in pristine condition. This is a far cry from the one I worked on for the place that had previously been a home for a bunch of cockroaches (I get a little gaggy just thinking about what the inside looked and smelled like even after the store cleaned them all out)

 

Gotta love having everything in that nice little package, though!
