Ok this might be someone from this site but whats up with $200 shipping?

Is this a way to avoid fees? At least i can drive to pick them up if i decide to bid.

[Jermack71]

That is a sweet lot!

$200 shipping? Is it being crated and shipped by oceanliner?

[AtariAger]

I believe this is the seller...? But why buy and sell right away?

Thanks for pointing out the shipping cost. I had that on my watch list but I don't want to pay $200 for shipping and I don't know if I would have the time to drive to pick it up.

How did he get the cart so fast? just to resell it in a big lot? Something sounds weird!

He didn't, he just reused the original picture from the auction he won. It's been cropped but still the saem photo from previous seller. He most likely doesn't have it yet, but plans to sell it with his collection.

 

And maybe just this week had something come up and needs the money. Decided to part with all of his collection.

 

That shipping is a bit extreme though. Most likely helping to avoid ebay fees, but damn if it didn't jump up hella fast too!

That is one sweet lot, its up too $255.00 and with $200 shipping thats $455.00

[Mindfield]

And the high bidder's a reseller. Go figure...

I would even be willing to throw in a case of beer.

[Trade-N-Games]

Throw in a gallon of cold milk and he might skip the lunch part

Ralph does not drink Beer. But he drinks lots of milk! keeps the bones strong....

Lol, sounds like a done deal to me!

From the auction...

 

Domestic shipping will be $200.00 for this item counting required insurance. This amount is high as the entire collection is quite heavy and will need to be packaged carefully and insured for the full amount.  I am located in Central Illinois and will gladly arrange for local pickup or deliver within 50 miles for a small fee.

 

"small fee" even for local pickup? Yikes. If shipping is $200, I'd get a quote on that small fee first.

 

As a buyer, I always take shipping into account when entering my highest bid. I'm amazed how some people don't. Early on, I got burnt on sellers who only ship cartridge lots FedEx PLUS the ol' "handling fee"

The small fee is for delivery within 50 miles, not local pickup.

My bad. I'm getting over a stomach virus and the screen is still a little blurry.

[CPUWIZ]

WTF is up with the price?

[Trade-N-Games]

Is the high bidder from Atari Age? I posted about this cause it was a great lot but now its way over what its worth. And add that shipping and then its way to high

Bulk reseller?

[Christophero Sly]

$1,037!

[Trade-N-Games]

$1,037!

Correction + $200 shipping = $1237 thats very high!

[Draikar]

331 "DIFFERENT Atari 2600 Game Cartridges" worth $1,237.00 ???

Its a good lot but the resale value is not $1,237.00 ... I would pay $630.00 if shipping cost was included. I think I will stick to buying small lots and reselling the games I already have for more games on ebay I dont have....
