I mean, that's a terrible price. 150?? Bullcrap. Plus, you can just go to GameStop or somewhere and buy it for 70 bucks. If someone bids on this, I'm gonna be laughing for a long time.

"PLEASE NOTE: If paying by Paypal there will be a charge of 5% for the total value(sorry)."

I didn't think this was legal...

It's probably the same as GameStop's, or 10 bucks higher, or 10 bucks lower.

I believe you're right and he can be reported for it. Oh, and I believe the price at EB was $69.

one thing I noticed with UK and European auctions is that they tack on that extra Paypal fee a lot more than US auctions. I don't know if it's eBay legal or not but I remember someone from Germany saying that it was in their country and eBay didn't enforce that rule.

He selling it for $90 now, and I can see paying the extra $20 or so for the games he's throwing in, if EB and Gamestop don't have those titles.

Is this the same Neo geo Pocket that everyone here collects for?

A LOT of UK sellers do this, and it's really irritating. eBay/Paypal seem to ignore it.
If I win items from these sellers, I just pay the standard rate, and will only pay the extra if they bug me about it. Most of the time they don't bother.

The link shows he is selling it for $137. That is outrageous!
