Would be a nice game to own..hmm...$15.01 if I decided to bid :D

[Mr.Faxanadu]

These type of auctions aren’t that bad !! I just look at the total cost and figure if it’s worth it :)

[Rogmeister]

I have to laugh, though...shipping is $15 yet they call their store Bargain Depot...

[Flack]

Sub Rebellion is $20 on Amazon, + shipping. $15's not bad.

[8bitnes]

Inflating shipping rates on ebay is against policy. It's called circumventing seller fees. It works like this: The seller knows someone is willing to pay say $15 for a game, so put a $3 buy-it-now and $12 shipping. The game still sells, but now the seller pays commission on a lower closing cost.

[SoulBlazer]

It may be aganist policy, but I only report auctions like this to EBay when the high shipping plus the cost of the game makes the item more expensive then norma. For example, $3 item plus $12 for shipping for a game that normaly sells $20 elsewhere is fine. $10 item plus $20 shipping for the same game is a no-no.

[8bitnes]

That sounds reasonable to only report in extreme cases. That and ebay makes reporting such as a hassle to do anyway.

Did anyone check the seller's feedback besides me?

Here's the link :

The guy has 636 negatives in the past month alone. I certainly would not bid on anything from this seller regardless of how good the price might be.

[Aussie2B]

Damn, I've never seen one person with so many neutral and negative comments. o_O

I'll only bother reporting it when the seller tries to charge me something other than what is posted in the auction description. The guy can charge $100 shipping for a Combat cart and I wouldn't care as long as he makes it perfectly clear up front before I bid.

[stuffedmonkey]

Wow. not only does he have a huge number of negatives - but he leaves negatives for anyone that leaves one for him.

Ugh. Seller refuses to sell though they are obliged to, and then leave negative stating...well, you read that yourself. x_X

[YoshiM]

Then there is stuff like this:

[Ed Oscuro]

Oh my. Just when I was thinking it didn't look like such a bad deal, too! :P

[8bitnes]

Check the second seller's other shipping. $7.99 for an NES cart, $5.99 for a PS1 memory card. But wait ... insurance is optional.
