Ebay hall of shame

Oh no.
I just PM'ed Assembler on Youtube if he will buy the Durango dev kit.
Now I have to make another PM to say sorry and ignore my message.

 

It is a good time to own a game shop with all the competition filing for bankrupcy ever day.

 

Yamatoku is really flooded by crazy bidders:

One cable which costs like the whole console with controller and wires it's very fuckin' ridicilous

 

Recently, Saturn svideo cables have become scarce. Little to no active sales located within the United States on ebay.com right now.
I even had to check "worldwide" for international listings to appear in search!

Yeah I know about this price situation and wonder about true reason of it.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/S-VIDEO-CAB...Games_Cables_and_Adaptors&hash=item564b9d5db8 - 77$ shipped for chinese third-party s-video cable, just a classic

 

Auction # 130745996428



Awful pricey for 52 shitty games. Not only that but if you bought it at his price, you get 4 more free bonus worth maybe $20

I only paid like 15 dollars for 3 Jaguar dev floppies containing its dev software a few months back!

 

LOL fail i found a loose genesis cart for 5 dollars at the markets last year

 

Umm... I rather buy a dream mansion rather that thing.
So no thank you.

 

Here's a link to the listings - see for yourself.
This is LOW.

 

WTF ?

 

Some jerkoff goes into a store, swipes the coupons off the shelf, then sells them off on eBay for 50% face value.

 

I don't get it. Spending more for a coupon, than the discount offered.
Unless you're some kind of wacky collector. :stupid:

 

All the prices are lower... and there are 10/16/20 coupons in each auction, rather than 1?

what?

 

Here's the worst part: it's a authorized eBay category!

Oops! Bad reading comprehension. I didn't read the number parts...

 

That just does my head in...

 

A dream mansion for $97,000?

The thing that really baffles me about those coupons is that people are actually bidding on them.

 

Sadly coupon selling do work. Not much profit unless you sell thousand a week. People buys up the coupon, take to the store that has the product on sale, stack em, etc and you end up saving more than what you spent on buying coupons.

The best part? It's near impossible to track them if they were stolen from stores. ie swipe 20 Sunday edition newspaper, especially from newspaper box. A typical Sunday paper (major paper like Detroit) can have over $100 worth of coupon. Clip em, combine them in 10's or 20's or w/e amount and sell it as one lot on eBay. Easy money if you don't care it'd take hours to clip, organize, list, stuff envelope, mail em, etc.

 

With that money on my country?
Yes, I can already build a dream mansion, the dollar currency is more expensive than my country's Philippine peso currency.
