so no one wanted the $16 silver gravitar...

...with the extremely crappy label.

:bleh: That thing looks like it's been laying somebody's backyard all this time.

Saw that one. No end label and the main label looked like it had been baking in the sun for the last decade. My label is kinda crap but it's a sight better than that one.

I still dont know why I don't have a red label gravitar (I have a very nice silver one)

I saw that too. I added it to my watchlist before I checked it out (was in a hurry).

Went back the next day, saw the shipping charge, and took it from my watchlist.

I always thought priority was $3.85.

I picked up one for $17 mixed in with 3 other carts, turned around and sold those carts for about $12. The label was in really great shape, except for a small bit of blue ballpoint pen, which came off without any trouble.

 

I think this is a rarity case where the box & docs make a BIG difference in $$$$.

Did that come from the Atari Landfill?!

Interesting, how is it something in Mexico can even USE priority mail at all?

Maybe he does a border dash to the nearest USPS post office, nervously posts his stuff, then dashes back to the safety of his hacienda before border patrol runs him down.

It is likely he is not really in Mexico. There are sellers on Ebay who put thier location as a foreign country so as to hike the shipping but are actually here in the US. A good telltale sign is when they are in a foreign country but only accept US funds. Obviously not 100% always the case, but certainly something to raise the eyebrows.

The seller is a member of AtariAge and he is located in Mexico. I have dealt with him before. He does go to Texas often. I have dealt with him before and he was easy to deal with.

Yeah $6.50 priority mail shipping from Mexico doesn't sound like a bad deal to me. Probably cost him at least $2.50 for the pony ride across the border..
