Wow, I guess I'm surprised (and not surprised) that this thread exists.
Anyway, I go to Gamestop all the time, but they have the worst used game service ever. It's a disservice to the sellers and the buyers and here's why:
So one day I use a 'buy 2 used get 1 free' deal and buy Dragon Quest VIII for the PS2. It ends up being disc only and the thing has so many scratches on it, it takes 30 seconds to load an area. Since that was suspiciously long, I went to another nearby GameStop nearby and exchanged it for a working copy. For the exact same price I got a mint disc, with a case, a manual, FFXII demo disc, and the manual for the demo... for the exact same price. That was probably worth $40, I got it for 10. The seller probably traded it for less than 5.
Now I only buy new games at GameStop. Besides that, they don't suck as much as everyone says they do. The staff are nice and helpful and the sales/rewards program aren't that bad.
For the exact same price I got a mint disc, with a case, a manual, FFXII demo disc, and the manual for the demo... for the exact same price. That was probably worth $40, I got it for 10.
A complete-in-box Dragon Quest VIII is hardly worth $20, much less $40, in today's market. Just to clear that up. Your point wasn't wasted on me though, I understand where you're coming from with Gamestop's used game mantra.
I just got my 3rd fucking tales of vesperia limited edition in today by 3rd I mean I've ordered this damn game 3 times and all 3 come in looking like shit before fucking morons don't know how to fucking pack shit
"LETS PACK THIS IN FUCKING PAPER ITS A GREAT IDEA"
I get it bent to shit with dents n' all like wth? who does that shit?
I EVEN PAID EXTRA SO HE WOULD SHIP IT WELL screw that tho 0 fucks given that day still ship it in damn paper and the lightest bubble wrap ever
I swear to god I could strangle a damn honey badger at the moment
I ordered a valuable / relatively rare gameboy game recently - and it literally came shipping to me in an envelope. Don't worry, there was padding - the gameboy game was wrapped in a tissue. So gameboy game, wrapped in a tissue, inside a regular envelope.
I got it, opened it, and was like, "seriously??????"
And why the heck can't people figure out not to ship cardboard style boxes (ps2/ps3 games, usually collectors editions, etc) in only a bubble mailer????? I have ordered so many games that have been shipped like this - Amazon does it, ebay sellers do it, amazon sellers do it, everybody freaking does it and I don't understand. A box, a box a box. It isn't that much more expensive!
I had the same recently but it was a SNES game in a normal letter envelope with no padding at all. Just a lot of tape, but mostly it was all concentrated on the side that he folded over so the cart would be snug in that nice thin wrapper around it. Thankfully it wasn't damaged. It was just a $10 shipped SNES multicart I got, but still I was annoyed. The envelope was already starting to rip on one corner too. In all my years on ebay (15) I've never had that happen before.
I always ship boxed games in boxes. I bought uline boxes just for this. .60 cents for a box vs .13 cent bubble mailer( i buy in bulk). Costs about a .50-1.00 more to ship. So really no excuse not to ship this way. Thats why i dont sell any boxed game cheaper than 9.95 because i know im going to be shipping in a box

At least some people still have brains.. lol I ship nothing in paper everything I ship is packed in boxes stuffed with the little packing peanuts and bubble wrap :I may be annoying as hell to open but by god its going to get to you in one piece!
Guess I'm going for a 4th time on my game wish me luck :I this time i'm going to make damn sure its shipped right
This happened to me as well some guy was selling 4 NES games for 12.
They were Micro Machines Robin Hood and the other 2 I cant remember but I didnt have them. Since Micromachines is over 12 itself I jumped on it and actually contacted the guy talked to him and made a deal to meet him at a certain time.
Jerk emails me that he sold it to someone else . I reply why make plans if your going to back out. Never responds.
Later I see that he relisted the games but at a higher price what a jerkoff

I bought a Mario Display on Ebay. Paid for it on 8/18. Instant Payment via my bank account.
Fast forward to today, still hasn't shipped. I message the seller and asked when it would be shipped, as I hadn't heard anything. She messaged me back and said:
"Waiting for the payment to clear"
Now I'm confused. I paid instantly. I rechecked Paypal, and I'm not crazy:

So I message her again. And basically say that the payment was instant, so you already have it, what's the deal. She messages me this, assuming she pasted it from PP:

Now, maybe I just haven't run into this before, but do inexperienced sellers usually do this? The seller only has 20 feedback, but is it my responsibility to wait because she is a new seller? Kinda sucks that I have to wait just for this reason. Is this common, and I just haven't had it happen to me before, or what?
They hold myincoming payments also, even though I have been ising them for 4 years. But because I dont have 1000 transactions a year im categorized as a scammer. Bullshit paypal.
Just explain to her that paypal is holding her money and that she should ship the item still and if she is unsure then to call paypal.

I think you can go through a process to verify your address or who you are or something, and then they don't hold your money anymore. I went through that at some point in the last couple years and things have been fine since.
Nemo: EBay holds my payments too because I have low seller feedback (no negs, just don't sell there much). I'm pretty sure as a seller you have to mark it as shipped before eBay even approves the payment to be approved for a ~2 week stretch. So yes, she should be sending the item ASAP if she wants to get her money.
Interesting, thanks guys. Glad to know I wasn't crazy. I just replied and let her know that she may need to ship and provide a tracking number before it will clear, and just to call Paypal if she needs more info.
One thing I can't stand on ebay is when you make someone an offer and instead of countering or not accepting the offer, the seller just lets it expire on it's own. Thats really unprofessional and kills a potential sell, because if they were to decline or counter offer they might have gotten a higher offer.
Also people who list something rare and act like it's rarer than it really is. Something like this would be the title of their listing "Lot of 14 NES games Bonks Adventure SUPER RARE!!!" then they'd start the auction off at a ridiculous price, say in the description they bought everything at a estate sell or flea market, none of it's been tested, and then go on about Bonks Adventure being one of the rarest NES games. This Bonks Adventure lot I just made up as an example, but I'm sure we've all seen auctions like this before.
I've been trying to get a handful of common N64 games and no one will work with me through eBay. Especially sosafan2; I'm trying to get Road Rash 64 and she has it listed for $45. I offered to place an order of over $140 (even though I could get all of those games cheaper other places) to try and get her to cut me a deal and sell that to me for $20 instead of $45. She declined and I will never do business with her again.
I had a guy on CL offer to buy my DKCC for $12 bucks. I told him no it was worth over $500 at least. He said, "Dude I can get it at the pawn shop for $15". Stupid people not doing their research just irritates me.

sosafan is a good seller. they arent interested in giving half off deals. road rash 64 is a 20 dollar cart only nearly. They arent desperate for money to need to cut deals. They get alot of business just fine. I know sosafan puts a lot of work into what they sell. spends a ton so he wants to make it worth his while. Plus this is a terrible time to ask for deals. christmas season is 2-3 months away and everything flies off the shelves. sellers can wait. I cant stand when my customers get offended that I dont want to lower my price. they feel they are entitled to it cheaper. Be patient. N64 is hot right now and deals are hard to come by. If you are persistant you will find you a deal. besides with the money you overspent on others it would probably just even out paying full price for road rash if you want it that badly. If you had a complete road rash you would not let it go for 20 so why would you expect sosfan too?
I'm sure I would if someone was going to buy a bulk purchase from me I would not have a problem giving them a deal, as I have done that to most people who ask me on eBay or anywhere for that matter. It's fine, we can agree to disagree. I'm waiting for only a couple more and then I'm done with what I want to do my N64.
Over half off of what they have it listed for though. There is another one on there for 29.99 that's why I threw out the $20 offer, if they came back with $25 or something I would've went for it. Instead of just shutting me down completely. There's a clear difference

It depends on the size of the item really; sometimes packing better means adding more weight to the item, increased shipping costs, and having to price higher / sit on the item longer because buyers want to pay the cheapest market price and not your costs.
Not too long ago, I actually tossed the box and paperwork for a GBA console CIB because it was not worth eating the shipping cost for the extra components...
??? you mean its not worth the 15-20 more in value minimum to ship a gba in a box? you threw it away? gba loose 20 bucks gba boxed 40 bucks atleast. boy u crazy
??? you mean its not worth the 15-20 more in value minimum to ship a gba in a box? you threw it away? gba loose 20 bucks gba boxed 40 bucks atleast. boy u crazy
It was an EU model, that might've been what scared people off. I kept dropping it and relisting until finally I just broke off the Super Mario Advance it came with and tossed that into a cartridge-only lot. Sold the console loose for $18-19. I've also done it before with colored n64 controllers and I'll do it with any item that doesn't sell for enough to cover my costs.
Yeah, I think I had to pull it when it was getting close to $30 shipped and parcel post would sock me for $8-10; maybe you'd consider the lot a $50 value, but when you can't sell the bundle for $30 the price guide isn't going to buy it from you.
gba's are universal. did you stress that in the auction? at 30 shipped i may have taken a stab at it. i understand though if you had to post it cheaper than that. not worth the parcel shipment

still thats asking him over half off on his price. Sosafan is not going to change prices based on a recent trend, if id call one posting a trend. he is a reputable seller that has his BINs set for what he wants for them and near current retail premium value. You have to understand who you are trying to get a deal from. He is a biggg seller. That cart is 15-20 easy. And you coming in at less than half gave him little reason to want to try and make a deal.

*Nod* I did mention that the EU GBA was compatible with US games; I think though with so many GBA bootlegs from China, anything different (like a CE marking) is enough to freak American buyers. Plus you'd think not too many CIB collectors get emotionally attached to the overseas version of their console.
Yeah, finally what I did was slip it through as a console only--without mentioning the fact that it was an EU model--to the "I'm-a-gamer-who-needs-a-console-I-don't-care" market. I imagine it could've passed through Gamestop and many local soccer moms without anyone realizing it was an EU model.

Well said. A small time guy might be willing to take a hit to liquidate a bunch of commons, but a powerseller has to worry about keeping all their "good items" in stock. If they sell that Road Rash 64 at a discount, they might miss out on a more lucrative sale or trade-in.

Yeah good call. I should've looked into it a little more in depth. And I probobly should've went a little higher on my offer too, But I've since found another copy that was more in my price range so I went ahead and got it. Now I'm all done with what I wanted to do for my N64...I think.

Ebay:

-People list items cheap and then shipping is stupid....
-Ebay takes too much of my money and so does paypal....
-Ebay protects buyers more then sellers......
-Some people sell VGA items as sealed when they really are qualified graded....
Craigslist:

-Some people say call or text and forget to leave their numbers!

-There are like 3 million kinects on here at any given moment!

You have to understand who you are trying to get a deal from. He is a biggg seller. That cart is 15-20 easy. And you coming in at less than half gave him little reason to want to try and make a deal.
Yeah good call. I should've looked into it a little more in depth. And I probobly should've went a little higher on my offer too, But I've since found another copy that was more in my price range so I went ahead and got it. Now I'm all done with what I wanted to do for my N64...I think.
