Greetings Programs.

Just had to comment on the Overstock Auctions I just saw an atari Combat cart for a bargain price of $4.39 and only $5.99 shipping.

There are only 9 items listed now under vintage games.

Has anybody gotten anything good from there? Or sold anything for more than the typical eBay price?

Just looked at the auctions up there. Not really impressed. Perhaps when more people move over to Overstock, I'll look again, but I think I'll stick with ebay for my overpriced shipping needs for the time being.

Right now it's 9/10 BREGames auctions, and they like to rip people off.

I need to look into how much it costs to list items there.

I bought a few NES and Gameboy carts on there YEARS ago, around the time they first started. I believe there were no listing fees back then, not sure about that now.

I remember back when yahoo auctions started and there was no listing fees almost everything was listed really high. People were just dumping things there hoping others wouldn't know any better. I remember the same thing on ubid and some other upstart auction place too!

I think I'll just watch for a while. Or maybe sign up and get the listing credit and wait to use it.
