Havent been messing around with ebay as much as I used to, mainly due to I am nearing completion on most systems (at least the games I want for them) that and I am about sick of shipping costs. I usually use VGpricecharting to keep an idea of retail value and usually set my goal at 60% or less. Many many times have I found someone who apparently didnt know what they had and got things cheap just by checking often. Also, I love the "make offer" feature, surprising how little some people will take for things. For example, someone had Ninja Gaiden Trilogy for SNES buy it now 110$, I made offer of 40$ and they bit lol. Down to SNES remakes and a handful of PS1 games to get , as they are the only system I try and get complete when I can, tends to be expensive. |

Please check it out if interested. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Lot-of-16-used-PlayStation-3-PS3-Video-Games-/261040414850?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3cc738a082 I also recently purchased a fake game on eBay. I am usually careful about paying attention to certain giveaways but this one was different. The game was Tetris DS. The picture was not what I received. The cover was completely different, the game case was poorly pieced together, and the cart was not authentic Nintendo. When I put the game in, the DS reads the game as a Star Wars game from Ubisoft. I think that is a problem with Tetris DS, there are a lot of fakes out there of it. --- End quote --- You gonna file a claim for that game? I sure as hell would. --- Quote from: madrocsz on June 07, 2012, 04:10:24 PM ---Havent been messing around with ebay as much as I used to, mainly due to I am nearing completion on most systems (at least the games I want for them) that and I am about sick of shipping costs.

Anything that you don't want/already have, just turn around and sell it. Sometimes you even end up paying for the entire lot by selling just a few games from it. Free games! ;D |

I usually do buy in lots, again shipping is a pain. Lately I find the best lots on craigslist where someone will be selling 10-20 games with 90% crappy but with 1 or 2 gems that makes up for the money spent. two. Ended up with contra III (which i sold w/ extras for 35$ to make some money out of it too) and kept robotrek and paladins quest. Rest were all common 1$ titles like metal combat and turn and burn lol. |

Ohhh man... I think I just got pretty lucky! I've been looking for the black Hori Gamecube Digital Controller (the one that looks like an SNES controller) for a while, but most of the time they end up going for $75 to over $100. I was bidding recently and was outbid, and the auction ended up going for well over $100. I turned around and searched today, and tried a new search for Hori Game Boy Player, and found a new-in-box controller from the North American release for only $35 Buy-it-Now! Sweet! |
