The Ebay Topic

Here's a great deal for anyone who needs just ONE UGC:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/1-Universal-Game-Case-NES-SNES-N64-SEGA-etc-/151483319900?&_trksid=p2056016.l4276
At least he offers free shipping.

$1,200 me thinks not. Looks like about $900 worth of carts to me (if purchased individually), not to mention that being in a lot like that waaaaay narrows the potential buyer list. Would like a lot of those carts, but not for that money. Maybe like 700-750...

Looks like I am about to get ebay shafted again. Sellers gets funny when an item sells for less than they want. The signs are all here, wont give tracking, doesn't respond to emails or gives flaky responses. it goes past estimated delivery date. Then seller out of the blue says that package was lost and refunds, then you see the said item re-listed.
Everything has happened but the last two.
Ys Seven, I got it for 39.99 and it usually sells for around 50-70.

Had that happen once with a router I was buying for my Cisco home lab (class room was to cold to think in). They said the router was in "New pristine condition." what I got was a router with the faceplate falling off and missing an IOS. The Price was $34. after I filed the claim because they didn't mark the package as arrived (flaking out on shipping updates and shipped it very much later hoping I would ask for a refund) Ebay cancelled the order and I got to keep the Cisco 1841 router for free.
So I think I won that one.
If the package ever arrives and they don't update the shipping right away/no tracking you could try the same thing. I didn't try to do it and found it by mistake. Just wait it out.

Definitely had sellers try to back out after an auction ended. One of the last micro systems I bought on eBay almost fell through that way. Was a CIB violet (Asia-only color) unit. Was pristine and I got if for a LOT less than people typically ask. Seller sent a message almost immediately after the auction ended saying it sold to someone locally and asked to have the transaction cancelled. I told him "no way, you ship it or I file a claim. You should have ended the auction if it had sold already".
He actually shipped it (and didn't take a piss on it beforehand as best I could tell :P )
Good luck with it. Sucks that there really isn't much you can do when that happens, and we've all seen it happen :(
