Brad2600 #2 Posted October 29, 2003 He lives about 15 mins from where I am. I've dealed with him before. He rips people off on shipping. The games work and are in good condition though. Basically a Nerd..but with a B instead of a D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MegaManFan #5 Posted October 29, 2003 The items he sells are good. I have no complaint there. I've bought from him a couple times and left pos. feedback each time. The comment about shipping is dead on though. Some sellers offer the option to pay a little for shipping and get it in a manilla envelope, or pay well for padded secure shipping, but regardless of what you pay thenerb for shipping or how much you're getting it in an unsecure manilla envelope, no matter what.

Brad2600 #6 Posted October 29, 2003 I know where he gets them too... He must have swiped up that copy of Breakout with the 1986 label. But I'm smarter and quicker so he won't be getting everything. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spirantho #7 Posted October 29, 2003 I've not actually bought anything off him that I remember, but when I asked him about postage he said he'd charge me shipping cost + 30% for labour and packaging, etc. I don`t think that's immensely unfair. Of course, I`m in the UK so require airmail postage and the like, from the US. And he does quote his shipping up front, and he's still doing it, so it must work...

Problem is he charges 300% above the shipping cost for us here in the states. http://www.atariage.com/forums/viewtopic.p...5c38d6779cc1101 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tempest #9 Posted October 29, 2003 I finally got a minty boxed Superman off him a few weeks ago. I was happy since it was one of the few boxes I was still missing. Tempest Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sku_u #10 Posted October 29, 2003 He gives a discount to Atariage members if you ask. I've been happy with all my purchases off him, BTW. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brad2600 #11 Posted October 29, 2003 I was happy with the purchases I made from him but the shipping was a problem. I haven't bought from him since. If I do decide to bid on anything he puts up, I'm gonna ask him if I can make a local pick-up since I'm only 15-20 minutes away from him. If he refuses, then I won't bid.
