What happens if we slip up here and there and splurge a bit????

Sparky · 07/10/2010, 11:14 PM

you will be judged... but as a group... we all have weak moments but do not make it a habit

rags you are so welcome to the club

Sounds good Sparky! My ebay ID is lioncub10. I hereby pledge to sell using penny auctions and to avoid bidding on outrageous buy-it-nows at all costs.

Sparky, I have already begun spreading our ideals in other places, such as on petesgameroomforum, where one of the mods was telling others that US Duos could go for $700, easy.

Check these threads out:

thread 1
thread 2

nat · 07/11/2010, 01:43 PM

I got down to the part in thread 1 where Nintega's name showed up, and then I jumped ship.

That said, sign me up for the club. I'll be awaiting my membership card. I haven't bought anything off eBay in.... months, at least, if at all in 2010.

blueraven · 07/11/2010, 02:51 PM

Ok, dude.

I'm down. That said, I do use eBay/half.com quite a bit for buying and selling (member since 1998), but I deal with mostly ancient records and Audio Equipment, most of which is so old it only exists in books, in Grandpa Joe's basement, or fringe newsgroups on the internet. That said I use eBay exclusively for Epson printer cartridges because otherwise they are $24x6 per refill and that's stupid-greedy-expensive on Epson's part.

The last video game I sold was a boxed copy of "Star Mission" or something for the NES for like $6, 8 months ago. The buyer sent me an email proclaiming that it was his favorite game from childhood. I asked him If he had ever played turbo in my reply.

The last game I bought was Dracula X for $68 shipped from England. Complete.

nectarsis · 07/11/2010, 02:57 PM

Same as blue for the most part..I'm in. Let the "gotta have it now/pay whatever it takes" asshats screw themselves (and us)...their time will come.

Sparky · 07/11/2010, 06:33 PM

Nice 4 strong members and yes its ok to use ebay but not to be a fool when using it...

This is all about using common sense when buying from ebay or any other forum or store... there is a lack of this in so many these days.

I will be working on the design of the cards and i will be including bonus items to send with the card

.... also bonus items through out the year like xmas

... its all about a group that believes in this place and what is fair and real on what our hobby/enjoyment is worth. <<group hug>>

Smashed Brother · 07/11/2010, 07:31 PM

Unfortunately I use ebay quite a bit to get some of my stuff;

sometimes it's my only option for the weird obscure games that I'm looking for. With that being said, I believe that I don't screw myself over too much and when I sell things, I think that my prices are fair. Feel free to check my record and decide whether or not I'm worthy enough to be part of something greater.

Arkhan Asylum · 07/11/2010, 07:51 PM

what happens if we buy something obscure/rare/pay what its worth but noone else knows wtf it is and thinks its a waste of money.

Sparky · 07/11/2010, 08:53 PM

what happens, what if??????... it is all under judgment of this crew... so use good judgment when buying is all i have to say.. if you buy something obscure that is fine but common sense will prevail

dont worry Ark you are part of the good but that is my opinion.

EDIT HERE-----> Smashed Brother: i looked throw your ebay stuff and you seam fair man, if there are no other objections will add you to the list... dont slip up

Arkhan Asylum · 07/12/2010, 01:14 AM

Cause I mean I just spent 500$ on a bunch of out of print, near impossible to find miniatures/stuff for a game called Legions of Steel a few months ago on ebay. That's what happens when the company gets sued by Games Workshop and is fucked out of existence I guess.

wouldn't want something like that to make people go OMG IDIOT SPENDER ON EBAY.

....cause less stuff went for more at an auction at origins, lol.

Sparky · 07/12/2010, 10:35 AM

Lets restrict this to ONLY video games/ pce and tg16 merchandise as that is where the fuckery lies on ebay...
Other ebay buys don't count as i am sure we cannot relate nor do we care.

Sparky · 07/12/2010, 04:01 PM

new club logo added to the first post... this will also be the front of the card that members will get.... good times

Ceti Alpha · 07/12/2010, 04:26 PM

Sign me up!

NecroPhile · 07/12/2010, 05:20 PM

Fuck yeah, I can't wait to judge and mock others (more so)!

Sign me up, though I see it more as a "Fuck Ebay Douchebaggery" club. There's still plenty of good deals to be found on ebay, so I can't quite throw all of it under the bus.

Arkhan Asylum · 07/12/2010, 11:42 PM

That logo is fucking tits.

ohh man.

Thank you! I promise to do my best to uphold the reputation of this club!

Sparky · 07/13/2010, 05:11 PM

it is all in good serious fun with this club

...

The cards are ready and will be printed tomorrow... They will come with a self laminating slip cover that you can apply after you sign the card... no special equipment needed.

I did a small change with the word FUCK to F@ck... my printers boss is a bit of a dick so i softened the blow with the word in case he sees the cards

<<shrugs>> looks more stylistic anyways <<designer pose>>

How about you do a little edit to that card there Sparky? Based on what you've said so far about the standards of this club, you should edit the name. It should read: The F@ck eBay Unless I Can Get A Good Deal Club".

What's the point of making a club called fuck eBay when the first people interested freely admit they shop eBay and your ok with that? Maybe you could call it the: I Only Pay Low Prices On eBay Club?

Sparky · 07/14/2010, 02:25 PM

Ya i am ok with ebay being used, i do not use it but it is just a fun little club of members that do not over pay or gouge on TG/PCE stuff on ebay... it is shaping up quite nicely i think.
so no it is fine the way it is

Damnit, I'm excluded! I never saw that coming, that was totally out of the blue! And I was soooo dying to be part of the in crowd.

The fuck eBay club that's ok to shop on eBay, make's total sense to me.

Received mine in the mail today! Actually it's probably been sitting there for awhile, I've just been too busy to check the mail! Looks amazing man...and thanks for the awesome stickers too!

Ceti Alpha · 07/28/2010, 09:19 AM

The card looks great, by teh bai, sparks.

Senshi · 07/28/2010, 09:57 AM

I would buy one but I would want the full word "Fuck" in it, or maybe a "*" instead of an "@". ? Can that be done? Not trying to get you in trouble I just like mine to be offensive

The way it is now reminds me of how they say "Frack" on the scifi channel in place of fuck.

Sparky · 07/28/2010, 11:59 AM

buy one? ....membership is FREE and sent to you for FREE with bonus items...so take it or leave it Mr Picky

But i hear ya, Fuck would have been better but my printers boss is a dick so did not want to get him in trouble.

NecroPhile · 07/28/2010, 12:30 PM

Hey, where's my card?!? Oh, yeah..... you probably need a mailing address.

Well i felt I should compensate you for your time, but hey free is free. Sorry your boss is a dick. Nothing worse then having to spend 8+ hours with a miserable mofo. Mr. Picky would like one so I will send a PM your way at some point.

Sparky · 08/03/2010, 10:56 PM

getting a few more cards out in the mail tomorrow... anyone else?
The club is always open and new members welcome.... we have a champagne room
