Err PIA!! ? Or, the guy is a part reseller presently out of stock for that part an instead of taking it down he jacked the price to a point nobody will click on it until he gets some more stock. This is a thing as I’ve been told by people doing this sort of business. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keatah Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 Yes I've had ebayers tell me exactly that. Placeholders for out of stock items. Easier to change the price than recreate the listing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TGB1718 Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 Just to normalise this thread https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/175113568757?hash=item28c59501f5:g:OLoAAOSw8Jxh5G23 A fair price I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mclaneinc Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 The only strange thing is the remark re the U1MB install, "With new U1MB 1MB upgrade installed and flashed (at my cost)". Well of course it's at your cost, normally that's how it works Other than that, a nice machine package but remember the SIDE3 cart ISN'T part of the deal so maybe a little high..

Err PIA!! ? Ha! If anyone is interested, I've got six more PIA's that I'll sell you for 1/3 that price! But only six are left and VERY RARE!!! I'll even give you a VERY BIG discount if you buy all six at once ($131.66 each). DavidMil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TGB1718 Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 (edited) I was looking to make a cable extender for my joystick ports, saves damaging the actual plug on the Atari, also as I have an STE and swapping mouse for joystick is a pain as they are tucked in under the front of the unit. I saw this https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/114769489065?hash=item1ab8cb6ca9:g:BXwAAOSw4Ydged2L As it's in the USA another £10 shipping Edit: I just bought 6 for £13 including shipping Edited February 7, 2022 by TGB1718 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, if you call Bruce at B&C, he may still have some in the box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GDMike Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 (edited) After a year later I just was issued a refund for this book "DISCOVER FORTH" that never showed from eBay. The seller refunded US $6.45 to you. It may take 3 to 5 business days for the refund to be credited to your original payment method. I also ordered a different Forth book last month and it's also in limbo. They will never use UPS so of course it's lost. How about eBay get a book on discover UPS Ebay Sucks!

Beeblebrox Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 (edited) I keep seeing this. Seller doesn't appear to have ever dropped the price, not since I saw it last year anyway.

Rick Dangerous Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 People ARE crazy on Ebay (and in general). Everyone things their crap is made of gold. Because it's theirs! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gilsaluki Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 Whose is REALLY the crazy one? The optimistic seller? Or, the guy with too much spare change that actually purchases the item? Hummmmmm? DBM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fixed.. I bet someone is, or will sell Vintage Pet Rocks for a premium. Hey, there's a thought. I am sure I am too late. If you are NOT of a certain age to know what Pet Rocks were, Google it. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mclaneinc Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 (edited) I'm 61, said 'certain age' And yes I do know of them.. I just told my daughter about them as she heard me laughing, when I explained she just face palmed herself..

GDMike Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 But there's a difference between a pet rock and a RARE pet rock. I've actually got a rare pet rock. As a Matter of fact, I'll just let them go for half price this week, just pay a separate fee .. Bhwhhahaha... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
