Parting out a TurboGrafx 16 CD System, Accessories, Games etc.

so get mad at ebay for being greedy thieves, not people like me asking a fair TOTAL price for a product.

You're the one trying to screw eBay out of its rightful fees, so who's the greedy thief here?

Its so stupid to bitch about a high shipping cost when the auction price is low.  What matters is the TOTAL cost and everything I sell has a perfectly fair TOTAL cost compared to similar products............................

Yeah, it's a steal.  That's why you keep lowering the price, right?

oh right, uber rich ebay deserves to rip me off much more than i deserve to rip them off (note: im not uber rich).

I said from the start the way i do auctions is dutch style.  start high end of what its worth, if nobody buys lower the price.  damn isnt that complex.

[KevInCal]

why the hell would i want to participate in anything here when im treated like shit.

You're a bit too sensitive for teh interwebz.  If you go back and read this thread from the beginning, you'll see that the poo flinging was started by you - here's the chain of events:

1.  A greeting from oldskool.
2.  Zeta makes a joke about the stream of newcomers here only to sell stuff, which is true and applicable to you - therefor not an attack.
3.  A fellow newcomer, cpsystem3, calls out your wares as overpriced.  Again, this is true (as proven by subsequent price drops) and hardly a abusive onslaught.
4.  M.G. explains Zeta's joke.
5.  You flip out with a bunch of condescension and a general 'f*ck you, I can do whatever I want!'.  Nobody else shares that right, though, eh?

how is the shit flinging started by me when you clearly list zeta says i come here only to sell shit.  maybe i would have stuck around and contributed if assumptions werent made about me first.  again i had no free time as i was dealing with my mom dying. sorry i couldnt f*cking chat about how great bonk was.  who gives a f*ck about that when your mom is dying?  I was trying to sell shit so she didnt have to worry about f*cking money a$$hole. she is dead now, so whatever.

then someone calls my stuff overpriced?  Ya um. sure its priced in the higher range.  SO WHAT!?  not like im the only one...  im not trying to make friends by giving shit away. besides i was trying to raise money for a good cause.  yes i do flip out when people attack me, so what.

[KevInCal]

Ok, Did as you suggested and checked you Ebay feedback.

Looks like a typical crazy Ebayer.  Everything is fine if things go their way, but when it doesn't they are rude, curse at people, and then the always standard - call the buyer a liar. 

Yeah, thanks, but no thanks. I don't want to do business with someone who curses at their customers (even if the customer is wrong) or sells defective products and offers solutions such as "BLOW on it" instead of fixing the issue of a non-functioning item or instead just says, "Uh you're a liar."
 


revenge_of_the_fallen - Got item it was not mint at all the cover was heavily creased
Reply by kevincal20 (Mar-09-10 16:16):
Why is it the people who take WEEKS to pay me are always the ones to complain!?!

So what, he didn't pay for weeks and so you creased the cover in anger?  Or he was legit in saying it was not mint and you just didn't want to admit you screwed him?




quidproquo_141 - Shipping was a bit slow and item doesnt work properly   
Reply by kevincal20 (Feb-23-10 21:13):
What is "a bit" slow? It's an OLD NES game, they aren't perfect. BLOW on it....

You sold him an item that isn't working and your solution is "BLOW on it"?  Nice.





rgtabion84 - Very rude seller! Had to have PayPal/Ebay help me! Inaccurate listings! F rating
Reply by kevincal20 (Feb-23-10 21:09):
Stupid LYING buyer didn't email or pay me for WEEKS & then wants perfect service

Calling a customer Stupid? He's not talking about your service and payment time has nothing to do with it. I see you won't answer the real issue "Inaccurate Listing". Nice way to avoid the actual issue.




the_fox_andthe_hound - Item was not as described and seller swore and cursed at me. F+
Reply by kevincal20 (Jan-18-09 22:20):
Stupid, ignorant, illiterate buyer misreads description & calls me dishonest!
Follow-up by the_fox_andthe_hound (Jan-20-09 19:30):
Buying a system for my grandson. Seller lied it did not work. So bought another else where check feedback.

I guess we can believe the buyer on this one. He claimed that you swore and cursed at him.  Then in public you call him "Stupid", "Ignorant", and "Illiterate".  I guess since you proved him honest in that claim, I'll believe him also when he claims "Item was not as described."





Buyer beware with this guy.

oh right im a crazy typical ebayer.. right... i have over 1000 feedback power sell status and very close to 100% all of these negatives or neutrals you list happened spread out over a period of months...  all of these people were a$$holes.  Most of these people i had to file non payment reports and some of them took weeks to pay.  i never damage an item even for pricks like this.  its just their a$$hole nature to complain because i hassled them about paying me.  the ebay system is screwed, a$$hole buyers get rights over good honest sellers like me.  the nes cart, i clean the contacts on all of my carts.  that a$$hole prolly had a shitty nes system that needed a new 72 pin is the reason it maybe didnt work.  and he complain i ship slow, hes full of it.

im only rude and swear at people when they dont pay me for weeks and then leave some false feedback to get back at me for harrassing them about paying me. they treat me like shit you are damn straight i will cusss them out and treat them like they treated me.  the difference with me is i am straight up about how i feel, i dont hide my feelings behind veiled attacks. you get it straight from me.

anyways, you can say whatever you want but ive sold to thousands of people and only a handfull of them i had problems with. these few bad feedbacks toward me dont give the big picture.  its just you trying to be an a$$hole and slander me and try to discredit me.  its laughable, if you had dealt with these a$$holes you would have felt the same way towards them as i did.  lets see you sell something to someone and they dont pay and finally when they do and get the product they leave you bad feedback.  lets see how you feel after that.

I said from the start the way i do auctions is dutch style.  start high end of what its worth, if nobody buys lower the price.  damn isnt that complex.

What happened to just letting the market decide somethings worth?  $0.99 auction and let it rip.  If somethings worth something it'll sell!

[KevInCal]

Wow, Kevin you blew things way out of proportion here. A longstanding community such as this one, who has been burned by repeated people coming on just to 'peddle their wares' would create an uneasy atmosphere in the selling forum. As others have said before you could have researched this forum a little, flicked through some older threads, got the general jist of the community before even considering whether here would be the right place to sell your stuff, it's a little more complicated than "Oh I have turbo grafx stuff to sell *ping lightbulb* sell them on a turbografx forum"

And all the stuff about paying full price, come on what is full price for these games? Retail? 1%RRP? 1000%RRP? Ebay is NO WAY to gauge the vaule of games, one game one week may make over $100 then the next only make $60 in that case what do you sell yours for?

There is no fixed price guide for TG-16 or PCE so that does mean you can sell for whatever price you want, but this is a community and people have opinions and views so don't expect a parade from the locals on this forum or any others you join when you don't participate in discussions and are only interested in selling your goods, then again it's been said before you could have checked the forums and saw that items generally sell lower than their ebay prices then you would have known this wasn't the place to sell your wares.

I've seen sellers gouge the shipping quite a lot on ebay recently, especially international shipping but to admit to intentionally increasing the price of postage because you think ebay is being greedy with the fees is rather hypocritical don't you think?

I don't even know why I'm wasting my time writing out this reply as no doubt all of your defensive replys are a result of your grieving for the loss of your mother. That does not however give you the right to snap at people and generally seclude yourself from the community more and more with complete unwillingness to join in any other discussions. I'm sorry for your loss but maybe arguing with people on an internet forum as much as it can let out the emotions probably isn't the best use of your time right now.

I hope you do stick around, this place can be a haven for help with techy problems and recommendations for games to try, banter, etc.

Peace.

people only get burned if they burn themselves. like ive said before you think my prices are no good? who cares, walk away. be a man and go somewhere else dont bitch like a cry baby because i wont sell something for the best deal... on average i sell things for what they go for. i start high and lots of times end up selling at average price.  im not stupid enough to sell things at bottom prices.  or else i wouldnt bother buying and selling video games...... too many people these days expect to be coddled as a buyer. i do plenty of buying myself and i never expect a whole lot. i am a happy with what i get kind of guy. the problem is people are clueless, braindead. they think a guy like me is some big business, they can jack around and get something for free. big difference between big business and small business but people are selfish and dont care if the small business is doing everything they can.

If he was so desperate for $ for his mom he woulda took what he could have gotten for the stuff... ah well just another DB on the interwebz.

And here I was clicking the link thinking I might find some goodies, but got the instead.

ya? go f*ck yourself, you dont know me im not some dirtbag.

only fools do that. i have tried that before many times and it never works.  you might get lucky on 1 or 2 auctions from bidding wars but mostly you will just be screwed over by trying to start everything low. id rather keep something worth money than give it away for way less than its worth. im not desperate...

Funny I just sold over $1,600 worth of toys started all at .99, no reserve.  So I may be a "fool" but I got $ in my pocket, not shit sitting around.
 
As for not desperate you JUST claimed that above:

  I was trying to sell shit so she didnt have to worry about f*cking money a$$hole.

Coming back after over a month just to go quote crazy, spitting bile at everyone and you have NO idea why people view you as a pretentious douche.  Your CONTINUED actions sure show your "softer side" eh?

[bartre]

wow, and here i was thinking this was a dead topic...

anyway, kevincal, i've seen your listings before, and pretty much laughed you off, seeing as the threads on the various forums were all just you saying "bump", and your prices were always high, or your postings were always disc only or something like that.

besides, as a seller, i figured that you, as a seller would eventually figure out that things are only worth what people pay, so posting a high price, then working down is only increasing your cost, making you less money.

as for your mom dying, i'm sorry about that, it really sucks, i know what it's like to lose someone important.
BUT, as a buyer, that's not going to do much, and it's more of a deterrent; it makes you look unprofessional.

[Joe Redifer]

OK Kev, go hand out in Cal for a while during your 2 week vacation.

[BlueBMW]

I'm surprised this hasn't been moved to the fighting street yet

[blueraven]

Yeah, KevInCal. Just attack the veteran members here for calling you on your bullshit, and use capitalism as a defense.

Great way to make friends here, or potential customers. I've been on eBay since 1998 and have 100% feedback, and have never responded like you did here or in the eBay feedback forum. I avoid sellers like you after doing feedback research.

[turbogrfxfan]

i just glanced at this and will not even consider to buy.   

[MotherGunner]

Wow, I can't believe this thread is still going.  I thought he said he wasn't coming back.

Oh..wait...
