The Buying Thread
madrocsz:
Figured each of us have a bunch of games they are looking for and with ebayflation lately as well as some of us having lacking resources to potentially find some of them might be good to start a thread and post what people are looking to buy. Way I see it, there is a deal to be had on almost any game and a lot of things we have that others don't. For example, I work overnight and check ebay sometimes at 4am in the morning, I tend to find a lot of extremely cheap deals at random hours due to people posting incorrectly or low price due to not knowing what they had, if I knew someone was after it and for a certain price I would have snatched it and hooked them up.
Now, I understand that this may cause some confusion and potential issues, but honestly it's worth a shot.
Few Considerations :
In the event those who reply to this thread with items they are looking for and I or someone else finds them lets be considerate. I am not looking to make a profit on things I find (as I would hope it would be the same for items I am after) Simply the cost to purchase it and the shipping costs (which assuming using first class package is only 2$ or so ).
Try and keep the list manageable, meaning no 100+ game lists, maybe a couple of games per platform and please keep it pretty organized, If you wish can use a similar layout to which I plan to use
Add prices of what your looking to spend (if you wish) as well as condition if it is specific
If someone finds something for you, be considerate to their time taken to do so, don't get pissy if it takes a little while to get it shipped.
Paypal is your friend
If you wish to post games your looking for (especially with a price) be sure that in the event someone picks it up for you your able to pay them within a reasonable amount of time. If you want to put all potential purchases on hold, modify your topic to say something like."ON HOLD/NO PURCHASES"
If at all possible, contact the person who is after the game first, meaning check your PM's often, before you buy it for them. Please negotiate all transactions via paypal and in order to built up a trustworthy reputation with clean transactions I suppose it be best to reply to this thread w/ what you purchased or sold to who and that everything went ok.
In the event that multiple people want the same game, the only way I see it working is it is entirely up to the person who found it who the sell it to. This can be due to being more comfortable making the transaction, the person they sell it to requested it first OR even that they are willing to pay a few extra $ to get it.

reserving a spot for later :D
also I think it would be wise to keep this thread at a "no comment's / spamming". I like the idea of this, but I think it would be very wise if people were PM'd offers if they have the game for sale / then the original poster looking for the game updates their post.
So like I shouldn't need to post more than once here.

Cool idea! I'll put my short list up since I don't want to overwhelm anybody. ;D
To keep this thread uncluttered, please PM me if you'd like to sell me something. I only use Paypal, so we'll both be protected.
