Recently Restocked/ may not last/ Few sites: (JP) Little Mac, (JP) Cap Falcon, Charzard (X2), Shulk, Lucario (UK)

Anyone want to get in on this, I'm going to break it up in 2 lots of 5, 2 of 6. A mix of rare and common. I may just tack on $lto each for shipping.

@Banisher - Get rid of stuff, and break even on it. I want to sell at least 1 on eBay so I get that $50 coupon


@amiga1200 just be nice, and we will all get along  :P

I see, if you are trying to make some money, you can help me make some SNES covers. Thanks.

okay, so if i say CRAPPAL or SHEEPBAY, does that stand up to scrutiny?

Better.

BTW: I don't give flying pig's shit about language. ;D

Honestly, I've been buying and selling on eBay for about 11 years. It used to be good, kinda sucks to be a casual seller on there now.

So my best tip is: Don't.
What are you looking at? You think baby's don't like video games? THEN YOU DON'T KNOW SHIT ABOUT BABIES!!

^^ there it is!  ;D
...
i wanted to say earlier, sorry you got the shaft by the bosch.
it's no fun having to let stuff go at life changes, it's what SLAVE serfdom is about, the illusion, the fruitless effort of labor in todays world...
i digress.
i can only imagine what losses could be endured as a result of a corporation that does nothing but cut-in, bad enough with shipping and admin...yada.
...
all the best to good, FAIR returns.  ;D

Selling on ebay has been easy and straightforward for me. Much less hassle than craigslist and private forums.

So I was thinking . . .

"Walmart's No Receipt policy applies to items returned in a store only. You have the option of a cash refund (for purchases under $25), a Gift Card for the amount of the purchase (for purchases over $25) or an even exchange for the product. We also follow any manufacturer's warranties. You can make up to three No Receipt returns within a 45 day period."

I also have them in my Walmart.com order history, so I have a online receipt. So screw the lots. I'm going to sell what I can to friends on forums, Sell at leas one on eBay to get the $50 coupon, and dump the rest at my local Walmart/Toys R Us/ Best Buy/ GameStop/ ect.

Probably the latter, my local WalMart has terrible customer service.

Toys R US might be the best bet for some, Better Cus Serv, and refund, but no tax and in store credit.


Thansk for the help everyone, as I said, I'm still going to try to sell on eBay for that coupon, even if I take a loss.

Still decided to give eBay a shot, listed 3 of them. Worst case scenario, it does not sell.

I buy and sell on Ebay a lot, and one of my biggest pet peeves is using the word "RARE" on an item that's quite common.  Something being popular or sold out in stores doesn't necessarily mean it's "rare".  I don't think any Amiibo's qualify as "rare".  I'm not trying to be a jerk, I just don't want to see anyone here turn into this guy:

Sonic 2 is the most common Genesis cartridge ever produced.

Both Rosealina and Mega Man can not be found in stores currently, along with probably 1/3 of them released. They are rare to find in stores.

What if the game was made by Rare, like Donkey Kong Country?
Maybe, just once, someone will call me "sir" without adding, "you're making a scene."

I decided to try that "Random Grab Bag" type listing, 2 amiibo, one rare, one common for $40

Good ad, only thing I noticed is that you wrote "tear".  I think you mean 'tier'.

Thanks, though Got impatient with the last ad, also a friend wants Wario and possibly more.


Just posted 4 rares/semi (Dedede, Sonic, Mega Man, Rosalina) rares and they sold,
though the buyer wants to do that thing where they buy it and pay in a week because paychecks and whatnot. The buyer has good feedback (100+ positive, 1 Neutral) and is also a seller. I've asked the same thing, and they said it was the 4 their kid wanted, so I said ok. Worse comes to worse
Scratch that, It was purchased by another buyer who seems to resell amiibo and Skylanders. :/

Still, all these amiibo in my lot can be found sparely in other versions for the same price. Sent a PM to the other person telling they are not region locked. I just kinda feel a little dirty  ;D

Oh well, I sold my first amiibo. For a $75 listing, I got paid $72.52, when does eBay take their fees?
