If I had the money, I'd use Buy It Now straight away. Some nice titles in this lot, many "rare" or sought after SNES games (more than 50 games in total), as well as a GC game, PS2 game and a couple of Xbox games.

Somebody please use Buy It Now! Awesome deal I think.

This guy also had a Master System lot up. I dont know, Im a little suspicious of his auctions. First time seller and money order/cashier check only just seems a little risky to me. But if he is legit, his auctions are nice.

Not sure... personally, I would prefer to pay with PayPal just because it's more secure and you can get your money back if you get scammed. But the guy DOES have 100% feedback. Personally, I'd probably take the risk if I had the cash.

From the looks of thingsa , it's a collector selling some of his stuff.
Must have come on some hard times. :hmm:

And about the Pay-Pal thing. You only get your money back if Pay-pal get's the money back from the seller.
Just something to keep in mind.

True, but if they try to get the money back and can't they'll lock up his account that he tied his paypal to.

Most people use a free account that has no money in it just for that reason.

Also if they are trying to scam people they will empty the account first or close it right before they list all the scam items.

I know I've had it happen to me twice.

I'll defer as your experience with paypal and ebay greatly exceeds mine. I was in a situation where they locked the primary checking account of a person who screwed me. I didn't get all of my money back, but at least I got the satisfaction of Paypal's actions. :D
