So i sent an offer of 60$ for all these n64 boxes.

in Price Check
Im currently in search of any n64 boxes and games i can get. I saw this and hardly looked at it before i made an offer of 60$ knowing he would not take it. turns out he did lol. Did i pay a fair price for these or no? Honestly i offered 60$ before i even saw the 2nd picture with some other boxes i actually was looking for. When i saw 6 people had already looked at it when it just went up i had to try and get it. http://www.ebay.com/itm/252049061501?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT

    posting it on here is a good and quick way to get backdoored out of a deal. just a heads up.

    Thats an awesome score, but I wouldnt have posted this until you received it all in the mail cuz somebody could get to the seller and offer them $75 and take them from you. Just a heads up.

    Sorry. Im kind of new here and just got excited. Plus he just shipped them. That was quick. i will watch out before i post. Probably should not of said i lowballed now people will think i normally do that...
  • SlayterSlayter
    Considered he is charging $20 for shipping it's not that great of a deal, but still decent. I hope nobody from here jumps in on it and ruins it for you.

    I wouldn't call a $60 best offer on a $75 OBO a real low ball
  • pinopolypinopoly
    considering most people who have best offer on items never even want to go 3$ less i count it as somewhat of a lowball...

    It wasn't -- it was fair. He got cash and prolly wanted to get rid of the boxes to someone who is likely a collector. Mission success for both parties.

    I wholly agree with this here.  Plus again like mentioned above he's also making money on the shipping portion too given that he charged almost $20 for just boxes.

    How: Since he posted the link to the eBay auction. I could easily send the seller a message offering more money. If I can work out a deal before he ships it out, I have successfully backdoored him. 



    Why: Sellers can often be influenced with more money.

    This is against eBay policy though right?



    also someone would have to be a real scumbag to do this right?

    Correct. It happens more than you think though.
  • pinopolypinopoly
    Well its good he shipped them like 5 mins after i payed so yeah.
  • NickTLGNickTLG
    It's also against OUR policy -- we definitely frown upon that kind of action. Backdooring is never good but you just never know what lurkers might be watching these threads.

    I've been backdoored on video game deals more times than I can count. My favorite was a seller who told me they dropped everything in a sink full of water while packaging it. 5 minutes after purchase. 5 minutes before it was relisted for more money and immediately purchased. Happens all the time, people are cutthroat when it comes to games. To the gallows with them!
