Actually it appears the listing was flagged due to me ONLY using a stock 3D picture of the complete case. eBay is apparently flagging it because customers might think its an original and not a replica case. |

Ebay is so ridiculous lately. I've been looking for some Genesis games, and all I see are overpriced buy-it-now listings. Most of the asking prices are double what the most recent ACTUAL SALES prices are. One game I searched had 35 listings - EVERY ONE was a buy-it-now. Not a single auction. Another game had over 20 listings without a single one open for bidding. What are these sellers thinking? "Hmm, the last ten copies of this game sold for $15-$20. I'll ask $40". I'm not looking for a steal - those are few and far between. I just want to pay around the average value of the game. I've found some decent lots lately - that seems to be the only way to get anything for a decent price. I can usually sell the ones I don't need to offset the cost of the others. I liked Ebay better when they charged listing fees for video games. That way, people couldn't just endlessly clog up the site with their overpriced stuff. |

As far as i know ebay still charges a listing fee, but for stores its only, like 5 cents. |

Bleh I know how you feel. I just looked at my selling page and it says it ends October 1st "Free Auction-style or Fixed Price Insertion Fees List Auction-style or Fixed Price FREE. Plus Buy It Now for FREE. Learn More Start Date End Date 09/01/13 00:00:00 PDT 10/01/13 00:00:00 PDT" |

The game with the 35 buy-it-now's and no auctions is Bio-hazard Battle. It usually sells for $5 loose and around $10 complete. I like to buy complete in box games - especially lower priced ones like this. It doesn't make sense to me to buy a loose cartridge when complete copies are just a few dollars more. Plus, there's no U.S. Genesis cover on the site for me to print. |
