Become a video game douche

... so you don't really want to scam anyone, but something insides you begs the question ... how can I not scam, but at the same time be a douche ... well here are some ideas

FOR SELLERS - for starters when you sell boxed, complete, and sealed games always send them in bubble mailers or plain envelopes ... you will also need to go ahead and disguise blemishes that would otherwise affect your sale ... and you might even want to embellish or flat out lie about rarity - this is especially important when you're selling holy grails such as the panesian 4 in 1

FOR BUYERS - after you buy something send repeated messages asking where your item is because remember the seller has nothing better to do than track that $1 sale ... after you receive your item in 3 days you must complain about why it took 3 days to receive said item ... if the seller shipped in a box, ask the seller why they did not also triple bubble wrap ... it's a good idea to go ahead and file a paypal claim ASAP after you buy something so as to freeze up funds in the sellers account so that the seller can no longer ship your item if money is tight

    I'd rather say he's pissed.

    I'm sure people here have some more good examples to provide. image
  • indeed ... we need more examples image
  • this is what happen to me



    I won a nes game by the name of Chiller

    i paid for it and i waited and waited for weeks

    and never got anything

    i email the seller and he sent me a cib starwars game

    about a month later i got the chiller cart

    it took about 2 months to get to my house from new york

    i looked at the cart and it was missing the 3 screws,the label was trashed and the inside mother board was on the outside of the cart

    so i got a "Make your own Nes Game" Kit in the mail

    i never email the seller back and i still have the chiller cart

    im selling it so look in the Buy Sell Trade area and find my add

    Please beware its an ugly cart



  • For Sellers : Find a picture of a complete game and post it as the item picture. In very small print at the bottom of your 3 page description on the rarity of the item (in red font, obviously), make sure to specify that you are bidding on the cart/disc only.



    For Buyers : Make sure you do not read full item descriptions, this is especially true if you are buying a lot of something and are too lazy to read through the list of items and the specified issues with said items. When you receive the items, make sure to demand "at least the shipping costs" back since the items were not in the condition you expected.
  • Sellers, as long as a system is working, its is considered in "good condition". Broken pieces, weird slime, missing wire insulation and insect feces have nothing to do with condition.

    To go along with your sellers comment:
    Take a picture of several games together, yet sell them all seperately. Be sure to use the same picture in all auctions.

  • edit: meh. removed post as sarcasm is passive/aggressive flame bait.
  • For sellers: Use the rarest variant for your stock photos (Zelda Test Cart, UBI Indy, 3 Screw Mega Man, etc.). Reply to truthful feedback with more lies ("actually, paypal sided with me, beware of buyer!!1!!11). Send EVERYTHING media mail. Ask us to pay priority, bt send it first class.



    Buyers: Wait 12 days to send payment, then give me crap about sending my item the next day instead of same day. Buy an item, then ask for some bizarre method of payment and payment plan (do you take food stamps? If you do I can give you 2 this week and 2 next month. Let me know k thanx!!!).
  • Under my alternate ebay account, when I get something that's in a condition that wasn't disclosed or it was one of those auctions that begs you to "ask for specifics because I'm too lazy to describe it" type deals, if the seller has enough feedback to know better, I simply leave a negative. No message, no warning, just a negative. I get replies saying "You should have asked!!!" To which I reply, "No, I shouldn't have to ask. It's your job to disclose the condition of the items you sell." Maybe I'm cranky, but I have zero patience for lousy sellers.

    SELLERS - consider using the NES cart as a digging tool ... just because YOU can't find your shovel does not mean that those flowers should not be planted ... then advertise it as cleaned and tested



    BUYERS - consider giving a negative for something you failed to read ... such as seller makes an effort to tell you that back label of cart has writing, but you're going to want to go ahead and give a negative anyway ... after all, in the transit that back label writing should have evaporated
  • Buyers - Please message me asking if I'll ship internationally, even when my eBay auctions clearly state "Sorry, no international shipping not even to Canada." Then after I respond with a polite "no", be sure to exaggerate the situation by offering your left testicle for a NTSC copy of ___blank___, or my personal favorite, offering your first born son.
  • Buyers, purchase a $5.00 game and get mad when you receive it only to find that I didnt't describe every damn scratch ,scuff, or mark on the cart, but instead generally described the cart as 'used' and apparently for a 20yr old item that just isn't fucking good enough.. Because it's not like it takes a ton of time to list every detail of every game I sell and that whopping $5.00 burned a hole in your wallet.

    Buyers, get mad when you pay $10.00 for shippiong and find out it only cost me $6.95, although paypal fees and ebay fees totaled $15.00+. Then leave me a negative feedback without even contacting me first for a partial refund or some other kind of resolution.
  • Sellers- Don't mention your games come from a pet friendly home



    Buyers- Throw a fit when my cat pisses on your Q-bert, only to find out the cart still works despite a faint smell of urine! jeeze..
  • For Sellers

    Charging me $20 for shipping sending it for $4 Media Mail and making me pay postage due. Then when I email you say you got a good deal anyway



    For Buyers

    Offer 10 % of the asking price on an item. I know you have Mega Man listed for $20 buy it now but will you take $2 for it
  • Sellers: Have complex and arcane combined shipping policies designed solely to squeeze an extra dime out of every sale
