I recently bought this same pez despencer from a garage sale for 50 cents because my friend collects pez and I know that ones with no feet are rare. I am going to sell my soon but I cant do it with paypal. The auction above was paypal only. Mine would only accept money orders, cash (haha), or personal checks. Say that was my auction but I didnt accept paypal. Do you think I would get more money or less money?

I think that you'd receive considerably less bids if you didn't offer Paypal payment. Without Paypal's (supposed) protection what assurance would a buyer have that they'll ever get the item that you sell them?

Yea you would mostly likely get less money. A lot of people won't bid if you don't accept Paypal.
It's easy to sign up, so just bite the bullet and get paypal.

If you have high enough feedback (100+) including sales, not just buys, I guess you could clear $300. That, of course, assumes the other one is actually worth the price paid. Also, if you can't signup for paypal for whatever reason, borrow a friend's account. I've done this before and it works out fine.

According to the thread on what percentage of your collection is unplayed, the vast majority of games we own here "just sit there" too hehe

not mine.
But in any case, get paypal.
Unless i find something that is OMGWTFWAYRARE, or is OMGWTFWAYCHEAP, i will OMGWTFFINDADIFFERENTAUCTION. and I know many who practice the same policy, or won't hassle with money orders at all.
2 things americans love; convenience, and setting things on fire. paypal isn't flammable, but it sure is easy.
