I got nothing from eBay, they sided with the seller because I asked that he mark the value down for shipping to avoid customs. Also I paid more for shipping than what the seller had put on the listing, something in the order of 80.

Lastly 520-530 is not overpaying for a new Turbo Duo, 660 is which is what I just paid for the genuine NIB Turbo Duo that will replace this one.

I am keeping that one. I was planning on returning this for a refund but eBay made that impossible so it has got to go, with as little loss to me as possible.

It doesn't matter - you're still asking for more than what you paid.

Lastly 520-530 is not overpaying for a new Turbo Duo, 660 is which is what I just paid for the genuine NIB Turbo Duo that will replace this one.

This Duo was obviously not new, and I can't help it that you're a moron.

Well, I cant help that I do not care. I paid around 530 for it and I am selling it for 560 shipped meaning I am losing a little money. I am not selling it for less than that in order to win some Turbo karma points from some anonymous posters on a forum.

Question, why are you using the same exact pics from the original seller as you're own?  You state stuff got scuffed up on the shmups thread, but you are recycling the old pics?  This marks you as a potential scamer in my eye. But either way, soon you will be in my tuna can!

So you think you should recoup all fees and shipping costs on something that you're immediately flipping for no reason other than you were ignorant of what you buying?  I repeat: you are a moron.

The only thing that got scuffed is the controller. I'll prove pictures if the seller wants.

I use the pictures from the previous listing because at full size they are really high quality and show off the shape of the system well. I only have a shitty phone camera at home so anything I took could not do it justice.

Because you I know you guys by now. None of you would even consider it for that price.
