Offer Up Buyer/ Seller tells.

[Medic_wheat]

So I thought I'd share a funny story. I am currently selling some things I have doubles of to make space and buy other things.

I currently have a medley of games and systems up. One game I am selling is Pocket Foghters for the PSONE CIB. In pretty good shape and a fun game IMO. I had the game posted for about two weeks and I have had some messages. Mostly "what's your best offer?" And my response $25 that's posted. If you want to offer a different amount or trade for game comic or etc feel free. Then no response.


Today I got a buyer throw "$7" ina message nothing else. I responded with sorry to low loose copies regularly goes for $15-19.

The guy then askes me what is the game like?  I shoot back with a link to a YouTube video of the game in action. He responded with "so it's a SF game with babies?" 


At this point I figure okay guy is wasting my time.  I click on his image to see if he is selling things and what's his deal. He has various games posted as well some PSONE and more current mostly greatest hits. Everything is in the $25-40 range. What killed it for me was a packaged of used crayons for $20. It still has the sale sticker that's reads $1.99.

At this point I realize oh it's a reseller flipper. He isn't interested in playing the game.


The guy then sends me more messages saying hey okay how about $12. They are selling on eBay for $19 CIB. I tell him no. They are currently going $17-19 loose and $30-45 CIB on eBay there is one auction CIB that's at $12 but has more then six days left and I doubt it will sell that low.


Then he shoots back hey they go for $10 on eBay. I reply where?  He says in the sold listing one just soled for $10.20.

I say nah it's okay you don't seem interested.


His last message. It's okay dude it's just for the navaltiy. I don't want to pay to much.

This reminded me why I do t usually bother trying to sell things. It's more of a pain to try and sell then it is to buy.



With hat said anyone want to buy a box of crayons for $20?

I haven't sold anything in a long time, my horder game room is proof of that.  With that said, I am almost done setting up my game room and when I determine what doubles I have, I will likely do $1 ebay auctions and just let it go from there.

It's nearly impossible to sell anything in a way that makes sense anymore or can make everyone happy, so I just gave up on selling long ago.

That part about the crayons is unreal. 

Good catch. I would have just ignored his offers and not even responded.

"navaltiy"

Its a word.

look it up.

 

Ok, I'll post a story soon, I'm still laughing at this one.

That's actually why I put a few things for sale. I was able to organize and display the majority of my games and found a few doubles.

Oh shoot meant to post this thread in chit chat.

[Medic_wheat]

Hey my Photobucket started working again.





Just to show some of the games he has for sale. So he should be this clueless when it comes to PS ONE games since he is selling some as well.



Let's not forget those Crayons.



Loves the discription. Smells like the 80s



Plus let's leave the price sticker on it.

I look forward as to checking this development progress. Will it support sgx, and will it be designed for disc or card?

Perhaps the OP was "developmentally challenged"?

I was gonna ask the same thing but I hesitated and waited for someone else to do it >w>

He's not lying, one did sell for $10.50 on ebay. The other auctions were under $20. Loose discs for $10 (buy-it-now).

Maybe you should have negotiated with him and tried to sell it for a reasonable price, instead of holding out for top-dollar ebay prices (while selling off-ebay even!)

It will have all those feature and more. I am currently teaming up with the retro chanilian team to bring these features to this thread. If you could support my kickstarter that would be great.

One might have. I clearly haven't. Ordered to check sold listing only current BIN and auctions.

[Medic_wheat]

Oh cool I didn't realize you could look at sold listing in the eBay app. Actually if you dig around some as of last month sold CIB for as low as $5 plus shipping and $7 ish.

And the flip side there more sold listing for $37-$34 it would seem for CIB.

So he could wait and nab one for $5 or buy at my middle of the road price. Or honestly offered a trade. Those crayons for $20 probably would ah e been enough.

It will support the illustbooster (to be used with 1985 crayons only)
