yes plenty, but that was before you were born

I sell stuff on ebay for cheap, stupid russians and brazillians fuck it up by disputing all the time though

>>7401310
Yeah, but it was back when that was their logo.

Yes, auctions that end at stupid times. Doesn't work anymore though.

>>7401324
>accepting international bids
Rookie mistake.

>>7401324
I don't sell to Russians, Brazilians, Africans or Italians

>>7401330
Oh they are just the worst, no wonder their countries are shitholes. You cant steal from everyone all the time and expect nice things

>>7401324
>>7401336
I'm a brfag and have bought over 50 retro related stuff on ebay without ever having problems.

>>7401343
alright m8, don't go pretending you people aren't 95% trash

>>7401324
french do that all the time, dont sell your crap to the french

>>7401310
Many many years ago i did. Too many hipster retro collectors out there nowadays who don't even play the games they purchase.

>>7401310
Yes, but not on eBay. I got a copy of Futurama on Xbox for $1 from a Salvation Army and a CIB Earthbound from Goodwill 10 years ago.

>>7401348
They are, though I'd rather not be blamed for that. If the buyer doesn't send you a message right after buying something or their english is too broken then I'd be worried.

Found pic in a $2 bag at Valu Village one time.

Sold for $250!

>I'd rather not be blamed for that

too bad

>>7401310
no but ive made bank selling to idiots like (You)

I plan on selling a lot of my old games on ebay since I mostly use flash carts now.

I buy a lot of stuff on Ebay.

>>7401310
Yes, every time I finish a torrent.

>>7401420
Another larping fag

>>7401454
They're everywhere these days

Got a sealed copy of the Collector's Edition of Ocarina of Time for like $180 several years back. Was a bit of a gamble since no pics were provided for the listing but holy shit opening that parcel was like opening a treasure chest irl. The gold packaging literally lit up the room.

>>7401310
About 10 years ago, I got a cart only copy of The Ninja Warriors for $10 via BIN.

>>7401676
BIN?

>>7401310
Ape Escape 3 for 20 bucks plus free shipping

Usually people selling on Ebay know what games are worth. You are more likely to get better deals on other places like Facebooks marketplace for example is a place people will go if they want to get rid of something fast.

Bin Laden sold it to him and was killed for it about a week later

>>7401310
Seemed like a good deal to me

>>7401310
Yes. I managed to get Splatterhouse(Windows version) and Batman Forever The Arcade Game(PS1 version) for cheap.

lol, Buy It Now

Last year I got a Japanese pink Dreamcast VMU with cap for $5 AUD when they were selling around $50 to $60.
That's about it for me regarding getting items for way cheaper than they were selling for at the time.
I'm so glad I got into the Dreamcast in 2010 though. I remember buying 4 sealed controllers, 4 sealed rumble paks, a couple of sealed VMUs, and new copies of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2, Quake 3 and Jet Set Radio all for around $120 AUD. Fucking incredible considering new controllers now go for $60 to $80 AUD alone.

Silent Hill 1+2+3, black labels, for $40 together

My strategy on eBay is to find people who charge exorbitant prices and offer them like half of what they think it's worth. Usually you'll get declined, but occasionally you'll find one person who is desperate enough to sell at that price. It helps to sort by ending soonest as well, since those have been up for the longest. I got Pokemon Emerald for $15 doing this.

Sniped Pokemon Colosseum for $60 a couple months ago when prices were starting to get nuts. Now it goes regularly for $150+
Also got Sonic 2 on Genesis CIB for like $24

>>7401310
Parodius Deluxe and Sexy Parodius (Saturn) sealed for $50 and shipping. Couple years ago.

>>7401751
I tried this for a few games. They were even more expensive on the marketplace.

>>7401310
Sold my copy of Parasite Eve I and 2 for like 30 USD FREE SHIPPING!!! LMAO. I honor the auction system but I really got fucked on that sale.

Rule of Rose and Steambot Chronicles for $9 and $12.

>>7401310
>2017: Persona 4 sealed with ost disc - $20
>2020: Flip it for $100
>2018: Persona 3 Portable mint - $45
>2020: Flip it for $120
>2016: Pokemon Heart Gold with pokewalker - $50
>2020: Flip it for $150
I actually made bank on a lot of shit

>>7402687
you faggots are the worst, always offering shitty deals that are obviously not anywhere near what its worth.
most people can spend the 2 minutes needed to find out what the game is going for at auction or on buy it now prices and just reject that shit.
i don't even respond to people who make ridiculous lowballs now.

>>7404890
this is why you don't allow best offer

>>7404890
seethe more scumbag reseller

>>7404914
i don't most the time but the way ebay operates allows people to just send you messages with shitty offers related to something your selling.
it really is a cesspool for selling your shit, especially considering the buyer can literally just say "i never got it" and 9 times out of 10 claim a refund on whatever they've stolen no matter how much evidence you submit.

>>7404919
i'm not a reseller, i just get rip off prices on my games for trade ins locally.

>>7404890
Notice how I mentioned that I only do this to extremely overpriced games? If you have a reasonable price you get a reasonable offer. I only lowball those who think they’re going to get rich off this shit.
