If a game is worth $10 in the US, it doesn't mean it is worth $10 where you are. if it's worth $5 where you are, that is the actual worth. The reason it's worth $10 in the US is the cheap shipping. |

I'm always puzzled with eBay's shipping prices (US-to-CAN). For a NES cart, it goes anywhere form free shipping to 60$. Not to mention the global shipping program that doubles up to price so all useless intermediate can get their part of the pie. I makes even less sense that I was able to get a shipment (CIB game) from Germany in less than a week and paid only 4$ in shipping fees, but if I order from NY, US, which is only a few hours of drive from where I live, I pay an average of double than that, and it takes at least the same time, if not more. |

You're mad that you can't buy low and sell high without any effort? That makes no sense. |
