I just bought a game on ebay, great deal it was. Attack of the Killer Tomatoes sealed for NES at 25 cents. :)

The seller says in his/her auction 'shipping based on weight and distance, not price' so you would assume fair shipping rates right? He/she told me $5 US I said fine sent the money paypal. Game arrived today, beautiful condition, as described, only it only cost $2.10 US to mail it.

I understand the person in that maybe the game went for less than they would have liked, but I feel like I was robbed. Even if it's only for $3 bucks. I'm inclined to leave a neutral feedback, but the person may take offense and leave me a negative or something.

What would YOU do? X_x

I would leave a positive. The person had to take their time to package and send, and also pay for packaging materials, unless the game was shipped late, or the game took awhile to get there.

I would leave positive, because you have to remember that some sellers will charge for Packaging material as well as time and gas (that it takes to get to the post office)

Alright.... alright I'll leave a positive. It only took a week to get here. I still feel kind of ripped just 'cause of what they said.

On a side, has anyone played this game, and is it any good? I don't want to open it, but the box looks really cool. Maybe I'll just fire up the ol' nester....

does the game have the horizontle seal or is it just a re-seal. If the latter, I would just open it. If not, keep it sealed and try to get a used copy if you really want to play it.

I'd say just deal with the $3 lost. Chances are, there will be an ebay seller that undercharges you when quoting a shipping price, and will have to spend a bit out of their pocket in the future.

If you sell on ebay, I know sometimes I over charge like 50 cents on shipping, to cover any extra weight, or if it's easier than figuring out the cost to the penny. So that 50 cents adds up over time, if you do the same as I.
