    Default have fun with some ridiculous rare but over-priced items

    http://stores.ebay.fr/VIDEO-GAMES-IM...QQftidZ2QQtZkm

    The guy has been trying to sell those stuff for at least two years.
    Never goes but each time he tries again, prices are going up

    Maybe he just wants to show off his collection.

    Imagine the fees ebay charges him everytime he gets the items listed.... x_x

    Honestly, how much would it cost to list all of those games? I have never sold on Ebay, so I have no idea how they charge you.
    Believe it or not, there are alot of sellers who list and relist the same items over and over again. I don't think they realize that they would make more money selling it for a lower price the first time around, than relisting it 10 times, and finally selling it for the high price they wanted.

    Sometimes you can relist for free. If it meets certain criteria which I know nothing about since my stuff always sells.

    In normal circumstances any auction starting at $500 or over has a mandatory insertion fee of $4.80 each, Then you have all of the other fee's to add on top as well.

    I feel sorry for the people who relist small value items as well, since they can't use a reserve due to its minium starting value of $50 the insertion fee's are just going to catch up with the actual value of the item. Its amazing how it all adds up if you list a large volume of items at once (you're normally giving the equivalent of an item or two away for free).

    I don't use ebay anymore its just not worth it as a seller, Especially when you consider the paypal fee's as well.

    My!

    What I don't get is that he's got some nice-n-reasonble items, like the Dracula X, or the Famicom GBA. But a white GameGear w/TV tuner and case for 1000 Euros??????????? I saw one for, like, $50 not 5 days ago. And $350 for a Playdia?

    I bow.

    That white game gear is BEAUTIFUL! I've never seen one in person, or the wild. Why were there so few of these made? And is it NTSC? x_x
