Selling my entire collection! 3500 -/+ Games, systems, etc.

Good luck with the rest of the sale Chris. I may make an offer on some more stuff that might have a harder time selling on eBay later on in the week.

To your other point, I've personally thought about giving up trying to sell things on here due to a tremendous number of window shoppers and unreasonable offers during my latest threads. I'm working on a new B&S thread soon and I'll probably give it one more go and see what happens.

I know we have a feedback forum to help weed people out, and we shouldn't think of this site as a Buying/Selling/Trading forum, but sheesh, it’s ridiculous.

Someone who is more level headed than me should put together a buying/selling etiquette thread and sticky it so we can reference something. Include topics like:

Q) Under what circumstances should you ask for a deal?
A) When you're buying a large quantity of items. Two or three items does not constitute a large quantity.

Q) When should I ask for something to be put on hold?
A) When you're planning on paying within the next 24 hours and only when you've got a 100% commitment to buy.

Q) What offers should I make on certain items?
A) Check eBay and look at average prices if possible. If you're buying a single item or a few low priced items, a good rule of thumb is to price it around 5% less than eBay's average. That should make up for the difference in fees.

Q) I want a rare/expensive game but I don't have the money for it. Should I offer significantly less than its worth just to see what happens?
A) No.

Et cetera, et cetera, et cetera…

remind me never to buy from you or sell you anything. Good grief, if you don't like an offer say no. Or make your own "etiquette" rules at the top of your B/S post, but don't expect everybody to abide by your idea of what's fair. Cause your etiquette rules basically come out to "I'm not gonna do a damn thing to help you out"

If you think that my suggestions aren't in the ballpark of what a reasonable transaction should consist of then please don't buy anything from me and save both of us a headache.

I'm saying that, essentially, if you commit to buy, do so, and don't insult both of our intelligence by offering half of what I'm asking for a particular item plus free shipping and wasting my PM space. If you find a seller willing to do that, then by all means, buy away but in all of my transactions here, I’ve never found that to be the case.

And I don't know if I'm reading between the lines right or not but your "I'm not gonna do a damn thing to help you out" seems to equate to looking for handouts. I've got excellent feedback here and 300+ perfect feedback on eBay. I know how to respect my buyers and I'm grateful that 99% of them know how to respect me. This includes making deals, including freebes, and upgrading shipping for free. I also try to be a respectful buyer and always pay within 24 hours of making a commitment to buy. Handouts not withstanding.

Regardless, if you want to take this further, you can PM me and we can continue. My original post was in support of Cmosfm’s post about lowball offers, nothing more, nothing less.

Hey there. Congrats on upcoming nuptuals. Next thing you'll be announcing is a cmosfm jr.

Anywho. I was wondering if any of your DC games were still new and sealed?

Unfortunately they are not new and sealed, except MAYBE a sports game or 2.
