Shipping is how much?!!

[sisko]

I'd really like to know what this guy is thinking about

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=4303&item=6912165953&rd=1

$300 for a Dreamcast lot. He's got a BBA though, so that might jack up the price quite a bit. 36 games too, thats fairly nice!

What? No picture? No listing? What the hell is this crackpot thinking? I bet be "36 games" he means "36 illegal copies" and by "BBA" he means "regular modem"

Look at the shipping!! $75?! At MOST, it would cost $50, and that is being QUITE generous.

THE INSURANCE IS $25!!! It only costs $5.20 to insure a $300 package!!

This guy needs to be smacked. HARD.

That is a auction that will end up with no bids. On that same note did you know that you can bring up excesive shipping and handling charges with ebay? Check out this link next time you find one, and then let the forum know so we all can file complaints. LOL

While he may be quite stupid, just look at it this way: he will never see a dime from that auction. (As long as people are smart)

[tholly]

Well I was going to say something stupidly refreshing :P



But the way rpepper9 posted really distracted my thinking ;)

<eg> $100 with insurance to ship? Why is your shipping so outrageously
outrageous?!? You know darn well it doesn't cost any where near that
much.

<johnybrit> I will be shipping product in two boxes, one for the system with 2 guns while the other with games, magazines and the keyboard. I have lowered the price to $50 and the insurance is optional at $25 additional. I have sold systems in the past and I have paid between $70 -$100 for shipping.


If he paid that much for shipping in the past then he is not much smarter than the boxes he is using to ship with.

I just sold a massive Atari computer lot.

Tons of books
Tons of floppies
3 computers
2 floppy drives
several AC adaptors.
a bunch of other shit

So massive, I have to ship it in three seperate boxes, each weighing in at 15 - 20 lbs. I'm looking at roughly $35 in shipping charges.

I want to know his reasoning for gouging on insurance. I've seen people overcharge before, but only by a buck or two. Not quinteple the actual costs!

what a tard basket LOL

what a tard basket LOL


yea, there isnt too much more you can say about that guy

[Daria]

<johnybrit>I have sold systems in the past and I have paid between $70 -$100 for shipping.


I find it amusing that he says to have sold systems in the past but this
account only has a feedback of three. Did he earn so many negative that
he had to make a new account?
