Let's hear about the good side of ebay.

[Necromancer]

I sometimes see decent deals for stuff listed under turboduo without mention of turbografx.  I've never bought anything though, as all the good deals I've seen that way were for stuff I already have.

I got Dracula X for 48 euros shipped from the UK, it was listed incorrectly. This was November of '09.

Actually I sell for less all the time.  Have you made any legitimate offers on anything of mine to see?  Of course you haven't, people like you just love to whine, bitch and point fingers.  There's plenty of people on this site who have taken the time to at least ASK and we have made a deal.  I can be your scapegoat though I guess.

Dude, my current forum avatar exists for a reason.  Quit playing innocent.

I discovered this place late so back in 2002-03 i even used ebay, there was deals back then and i believe there was no "Buy it now" auctions.
Ebay is where i got Soldier Blade with manual and a generic case for mother f*cking $15 yo!!

There are deals to be had still but fewer, as soon as "buy it now" started ebay went to shit.

Like it or not Gamefreak negative will happen with talk of ebay which makes for good discussion or a hell of a Royale Rumble..... depending on the day.

I occasionally find deals on car parts and computer parts on ebay for BIN prices that are less than other online retailers.  So for some stuff, ebay does work good.

Ever since the BIN thing started though, ebay has changed into a different animal.  Here in a few years I'd be surprised if auctions exist at all.

I find ebay good for a lot of items, just not so much video games.  It's sad that for a lot of games I'm better of hitting yahoo japan auction and going through a place like celga.  Even with the fees and double shipping charges it's still cheaper than the bay.  Also Rakuten can be your friend as well.

I don't really post too much, but couldn't resist this thread.  About 2 years ago someone put up a huge lot of turbo/pce games with a low res picture and didnt list any of the game titles.  From squinting at the picture a while i saw some good ones in there and bid away....

Good side would be that I got 90% of my TG hu cards from ebay. (you already know the bad side).

Also that you can get rarer games in a hurry (and build your collection faster)... =)

Best deal I ever had was back in either '02-'03, got a supergrafx system, steamhearts, linda3, strider and a couple of hu cards and a pcgt with tv tuner for a $250.00... shipped...

[SignOfZeta]

That's pretty sweet. I've always wanted Linda3, but its not very easy to find. When I do see it its not cheap.
