    it's really not that big of deal, just tell the dude you droped the game at the last minute and now you hear broken peices inside the box, I'm sure after hearing that he would'nt want to pay for it.

    That's horseshit. If he didn't want to sell it under a certain price then he should have set a reserve or started the auction at that amount.

    Geez, another one. Do us a favor guys and let us know what your ebay account names are so we can block you from bidding on our auctions.

    This one sux hehe. I bought a TIGER handheld LCD game once, which i really needed at the time. The next highest bidder contacted me and offered me $100 for it (3 times more than i payed), but i still said no.

    Some days later i suddently got my money refunded from the seller. He said he dropped the game in the floor and it was broken. I told him to send it anyway, but he had threw it in the garbage and the garbagemen had just been there. I then confronted him that i had been in contact with the next highest bidder and told him that he said he had bought it instead. He then said he had 2 copies haha

    Actually no, but i would have. The reason why i didnt do it was because i was going to wait for 89 days before i left feedback so he couldnt give me a revenge negative. I misscalculated the days and it went over 90 days. Later i learned that you can leave feedback after 90 days also. But then it was too late, Ebay had already removed the auction from their archive so it wasnt viewable.

    It variates from person to person and what excuse you come up with. If it is beliveable i guess he wont leave you negative, but you never know.

    I don't know if you really "ripped yourself off" by selling the game for $300. How much did you pay for the game? Assuming you found it locally or bought it back in the day, you've mad a pretty hefty profit.
    If you really don't want to sell it too him, you should try offering him like $20 to not take it and leave you positive feedback, then relist the game and hopefully you'll get more than your $20 back.

    Alright, I gotta ask.

    I recall you selling some other games on the forum (a sealed valkyrie profile I think) and pricing fairly aggressively and not backing down on price... which is fine, it's your right as a seller.. but then it seems weird to drop down the price on the secret of mana to a level we both know sucks.

    Now.. maybe you just need the money, I wouldn't have thought twice about except for your pm a month or two ago saying you were *buying*, not selling, a secret of mana, sending me those pictures, asking if it was factory.

    I respond "not sure from those pics, either legit or a good fake"

    ...and then a week you're selling the game... I ask you about it and you basically say "oh yeah, I meant to say I was the seller not the buyer.."

    Now, with all due respect, that seems very strange. If you're the seller why ask. If you're selling it and you know it's factory, why ask me? Just seems weird.

    I can't help but think it's possible that it's a reseal you were trying to pass off and wanted to ask me if I could tell so you'd have a better idea of whether your potential buyers would be able to tell?

    Now, I don't know you and I'm not accusing you of anything - it just all seemed very strange and left a lot of questions in my mind. Could be that there's a perfectly rational explanation, but let me ask you directly - was it a reseal?

    Not trying to tarnish reputations here - if I'm way offbase I apologize. But I can't help but look at this and think that reseal is the most likely scenario, so I gotta ask the question.

    Mate you definitely have to honour the auction and sell him the game, it's just the right thing to do.

    Looking through his feedback he seems to be snapping up a lot of games, so he is either a collector, or re-sells under a different account. If he is a collector, then you probably made his day by him getting the game for this price . If he does resell, then , but selling him the game is still the right thing to do.

    Maybe the karma will work in your favour for being ethical, and you'll get a sweet find in the coming weeks

    Don't be a bitch about it, send the man his game!
    This is a thing of trust. Nobody likes to get ripped off. NOBODY.
    And, for all those people who are telling him to, do you do this on a regular basis? I don't think it's a good practise to lie to people.

    So in theory you're really paying about 250+ dollars for a piece of plastic and a game youre never going to play

    Default True worth of that game

    Two points.

    1. What one poster, or two dozen, on these boards might think the game is worth doesn't mean a thing. It is worth only as much as any giver buyer is willing to pay. Period. Whether you like it or not, nobody was going to pay more than the guy who won that auction. I bet you had plenty of people watching that auction and if it was up for seven days, then anyone who would have wanted it at least knew it was out there. Someone after a sealed copy of that game probably checks Ebay three times a day, so no real SNES collectors failed to see it was out there. That is safe to assume.

    2. You sell anything Ebay and you take the chance of not getting what you want for an item. How about going on Ebay forums and asking an experienced seller with a few thousand feedbacks how often he (or she) has felt shortchanged on the final bid?

    And exactly how is that any different from paying $700 for a stadium events you're never going to play? Please enlighten?

    the funniest thing is... REMEMBER, the OP set the 299.99 price as the BUY IT NOW -- I see folks saying "you run the risk on eBay of an item going for lower than what you would have liked" -- in this case the seller (the OP) listed it at 300 BIN, and then comes here to bitch about it.

    Amusing.

    no offense but I find this whole thing silly.

    Yes, there is seller's remorse. But why he set it at 300 when he probably could have set the BIN even higher -- is beyond me. 500 he could have probably had a taker.

    That would be me! I didn't even look at the auction link, to be honest, because I'd never expect anyone to use Buy It Now for that type of auction. I'd have just listed it for a full 7 days and let the money roll in

    There is something to be said for a buyer getting a good deal, too, which is part of the appeal of Ebay. Obviously, the seller wants to get as much as they can. However, what is wrong with someone getting a bargain? As long as you are not the seller
