Shipping price is insane :O

I've sold Hot Wheels and games on eBay internationally, but the buyers (Canadian and Australian) have addresses in the US. I don't know how they get their stuff to them from there, but it seems that having a go-between is the way to do it.

Yes, i have the same thing (A courier), mine is on miami, on ebay in my shipping address i have their address and in the same address i have a code # that identifies me as their client. for buyer is an excellent option but for salers... damn, is not

if i deside to sell locally, no body would buy at the price that really worth 

i think you need to change the way you're thinking about this. 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.

Nop, for example almost every nes game here cost $3, if I buy super c from someone here probably would sell it for $2.5 or $3 but on ebay cost $10+ depending on the condition

but you're not factoring in ebay/paypal/amazon fees. if i sold a $10 game online, i'd be lucky to clear $5 after fees and shipping. besides, if you're buying for cheap there, you sell for cheap too and there's no loss. You're mad that you can't buy low and sell high without any effort? That makes no sense.

if i buy and sell here i won't loss but won't win because i have to sell at the same price and won't obtein any new games, but i wasn't planing to sell the items i buy here, i was planing on buying game lot cheap on ebay as a bid, keep games cartridges and sell the console or video games that i don't need. if you read my first post that's what i am explaining, buy on ebay, sell, and keep money on Paypall to buy again and keep using paypall money and not my creditcard, i can't use paypall in my country to buy stuff, no body accept paypall here. i start selling some stuff that i didn't need to gain money on paypall. That's something that a lot of people do here and keep growing their collection that way, won't loss money and will obtein the money back again

other thing is that people here don't buy retro stuff, that's why is so cheap. now that there is PS4 and xbox one there is a lot of people selling their ps3 and xbox 360, their is a few people how keeps them, is not like in the states that this stuff sells daily, and their is a big demand on retro stuff. Most of my games and consoles are from ebay or some of you that i had buy, except 7 NES games of my 33 and my PS1. i'm not thinking on buying here to sell out, here people don't take care of games and a lot looks like crap, that's why i prefer to buy on ebay or some of you and import them here even though i know i can find them here but not in the condition i like to have them.
