Just... Bad, Turbo Ebay Auctions (Not Gouging)

[FiftyQuid]

This guy goes on a diatribe about how games aren't complete without the box but he doesn't mention or show that he has the clear plastic tray that held the hucard...

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=370725717674

Yeah, but he's been "collecting for 26 years and I know what I am doing".  

[EDIT] Roy ninja'd me! 

[PCEngineHell]

Thought I'd screw with him for a bit:


Dear pacfamily,

As pointed out when this auction of yours was posted about on PCEFX.com, this game is not complete in its box. You are missing the original plastic tray that held the game. Until you offer it with the tray, it will not be complete.

- professorprofessorson



Dear professorprofessorson,

I presume you respond with even greater zeal to those who sell as complete without boxes? I received no email when I sold a game without a sleeve.

- pacfamily



Dear pacfamily,

The point being, you're going on about how it is complete in your auction details, and its not. Get your crap straight.

- professorprofessorson



Dear professorprofessorson,

Fuck off.

Dear pacfamily,

26 years of collecting, and you have no idea what complete means lol.

"This listing was ended by the seller because the item is no longer available."

[PCEngineHell]

Heh, well, his Splatterhouse shirt is still available at least lol.

[NecroPhile]

Brag about getting away with selling incomplete 'complete' items and tell a prospective buyer to fuck off?  What a charmer.

[bob]

I just sent "PACFAMILY" a question about a CIB NES game he has listed.  I already got a response and I replied again.
I will post the conversation in a bit...

[MrFlutterPie]

I have 2 modern Splatterhouse promotional T-shirts when I worked at Blockbuster for free.  I asked my manger if I could have one and she said yes.  Few weeks later she said I could have the other one since it was taking up room and they weren't going to use it.

That old school one looks sweet I must admit but $80 starting bid?  No thanks.

[bob]

So here is my conversation so far with PACFAMILY.  I reached out to him about a boxed "complete" NES game.  Now mind you, I understand that some people don't care about the inserts to consider a game complete, but I needed some leg to stand on in order to contact him...

Dear pacfamily,

Hi, I see your description states "Complete", however, I don't see the inserts (poster, ads, etc.) in the picture. I assume they are there if this is truly complete. Lots of sellers state an item is complete when it isn't. I understand, it happens a lot when people that don't truly collect video games think these things are complete.
thanks

________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Dear dealisdead,

I've spoken with many leading collectors in the world over the years, and know personally owners of some of the biggest online and offline retro gaming stores in America.
It is widely accepted, if not universally accepted, that an NES game as I've presented it in this auction is "complete."
You are entitled to your is dissenting opinion, but it is ONLY your opinion, and I don't appreciate your cocksure attitude that your opinion is fact. Or your implication that I don't truly collect video games and so don't know what I am doing. No matter who you are, chances are that I have more experience in my pinky than you have in your totality.
Do your complete games include shrink wrap ? No? Then by your logic they are not complete.
I don't understand the purpose of your email; please vent your frustrations with collecting standards elsewhere. You're from Rhode Island? Most people from that fine state are more reasonable.

- pacfamily


________________________________________________________________________________________________________


Um...ok.  I was just asking about the additional items that would consider it complete.  Why are you so defensive? 
No need to "puff your chest" about talking to leading collectors the world over and having more experience in your pinky, blah blah. 
There are thousands of sellers on ebay with misrepresenting information about what's in their auctions.  How often do people use the term "RARE" or "Museum Quality" in the titles?  If you are so entrenched in the scene, I'm sure you have come across this as well and roll your eyes.
I have nothing to vent about collecting standards at all, so I'm not quite sure what you meant by that. 

To answer your question about shrink wrap, no, it doesn't qualify as "complete", I would consider that "sealed". 
And as for your final comment, no, people in RI are certainly not "more reasonable" than me.  This state is a dump with a bunch of lazy unemployed crack heads.


-dealisdead

________________________________________________________________________________________________________

I only called out "museum quality" because that is what he had in the title of the splatterhouse shirt.
Awaiting response...

[PCEngineHell]

Ha yeah the guy is highly defensive. Leads me to believe he must get a lot of messages from people questioning him about this stuff and ragging on him for false advertisement.

look what mom packed for lunch...  she must be hittin' the sauce again lol

You know, I was hesitant to post about this guy, but I guess I will do so. Awhile back I listed a auction for Sini for a copy of Dragon Slayer and Dungeon Master. I attached a low start bid and low bin because these were not mint copies, and the manual was missing to Dragon Slayer. Soon after the listing started I received a message from the guy:

Dear professorprofessorson,

hello. would you sell the back of the case for dragon slayer by itself. i am missing the back only on my copy. let me know what we could work out if anything. thanks.

- mrniceguy1408

I replied back with the following:

Dear mrniceguy1408,

No sorry, cant. These are being sold for a friend to help assist in getting music equipment replaced. His home was hit during the Sandy storm in NY and he and his band lost all their music gear, etc, so I am doing a few auctions to try to get him as much money as I can to help him out. That is why I listed these and also Steam Hearts so cheap on the starting bids, to drive up interest in them and get him some money fast.

- professorprofessorson

He contacted back again stating the following:

Dear professorprofessorson,

well this way would benefit him more. i would pay $16 for the case back. ive been selling turbo stuff for years. and a lot of it. when people buy turbo cd games its all or nothing. somebody would want the disc more than a disc and case cause its more likely somebody lost their disc only than still have their manual but lost the case and disc. most common would be the lost manual like you have.

- mrniceguy1408

I then politely declined his offer again, even though he was being annoying and persistant:

Dear mrniceguy1408,

Sorry, at this time this would not benefit him more, as I already have 4 watchers on this auction. Thanks for your interest though.

- professorprofessorson

Next thing I know he uses BIN, so I contact him with the following message, then after a short time I purchase shipping:

Dear mrniceguy1408,

Will ship these out monday with tracking and insurance. Thanks for the purchase and happy holidays.

- professorprofessorson

After shipping has been paid for and tracking info relayed to him through ebay, I receive the following message:

Dear professorprofessorson,

if i bin the steam hearts would you go free shipping on it since im getting a package shipped from you already?

- mrniceguy1408

I politely replied back with the following:

Dear mrniceguy1408,

Sorry, wish I could, but shipping has already been paid for on the other two games. Paid for shipping on them late last night. Did ebay not give you the tracking/shipping info on them yet? If not, the tracking number for USPS First Class Mail is 9416 5096 9993 9398 7123 86. When at all possible I do combine shipping, but if someone doesn't notify me of intent to purchase or bid on other items when they purchase one already I usually just go ahead and get the shipping paid for and ready to be picked up by USPS.

- professorprofessorson

He replied back with :

Dear professorprofessorson,

ok. thats fine.

- mrniceguy1408

So anyway, fast forward to today , I log in to do my every two week shipping cost review for items sold and I see my DSR stats lowered, and while the guy did leave a positive FB, he made some inaccurate statement concerning the auction and shipping cost:

FB received: Good description. Should have specified water damage. Shipping cost a bit high.

I'm going to state for the record, the auction details listed everything wrong with the items, including what was missing, and what had damage and there was detailed pics, and the over all auction condition listing was "GOOD", which is a notch above "acceptable". The water damage he is referring to was listed in detail. I listed in the auction details I refund shipping/handling cost for anything not used. He was charged $6.65 for S&H and refunded $1.56 towards that since what he paid was $4.67 in actual cost, plus the 50 cents or so to pay my daughter to pack it/bubble wrap the games well, which I might add she did a pretty nice job on, as it was nice and thick, taped up extremely well, and well protected (I pay her to do the smaller pack jobs so she can get experience and earn a little money).  I listed the case insert on Dragon Slayer had moderate damage, and on its pic I specifically listed it had moisture damage to make sure this was crystal clear:



I contacted him after issuing the S&H refund with the following messages (I had to split it up a tad due to length):

Dear mrniceguy1408,

You know, I was fairly hesitant to allow you to purchase the game after realizing you are a reseller. However, I went ahead and did so on good faith instead of blocking your account after nagging me about buying the case insert by itself. So we are clear on this, the details listed moderate wear, and the pic of the game showing the insert specifically had posted on it that it had moisture damage (the detail was added in on the pic when it was hosted on my photobucket account. This was put on the pic to make sure the buyer knew exactly what they were buying, so had you reviewed the auction in full including pics so you could see the condition of the items you would have spotted this. As for shipping and handling cost,$4.67 was paid to cover the cost of shipping, and the remainder went to the person who packed the item to cover handling and packing materials.Every two weeks I review final cost and issue refunds to buyers for funds not used. (continued next message....)

- professorprofessorson

Dear mrniceguy1408,

(continued from last message)Upon receiving said items you did not contact me with any of your complaints concerning condition or shipping cost prior to leaving feedback. While I appreciate receiving a positive, the actual details contained in it are inaccurate, as is lowering my DSR, and to be quite honest, it felt more or less like a spiteful act, simply because I would not sell you the case insert separately, which was politely explained to you that I could not do so, as the item was being sold for a 3rd party, and also that ebay does not allow sellers or buyers to contact each other in regards to making purchases outside of ebay, which I could have reported you for, but did not do so. I am attaching pics of the shipping receipt, and also of the auction detail that you clearly missed before using BIN. Please feel free to review them at your leisure.

- professorprofessorson

Dear mrniceguy1408,

Pics attached.

- professorprofessorson

(I attached two pics to the message for him to view, one showing the auction detail showing it listing moisture damage, and another that was a copy of the ship receipt)

He replied back with the following:

Dear professorprofessorson,

i did not see anything about moisture damage in any photo in the description even going back and double checking.
i only resell extra stuff i get from lots. i try not to resell at all.
i did not ask you to sell me anything on the side. i simply asked if you would separate it. report me if you'd like. I've been a bad boy.
i gave you good stars on shipping time and lower stars on description, shipping cost and communication. description and communication go hand in hand in my book. i ship alot and know about what that cost you. you could have thrown in steam hearts and still payed less than your shipping cost with a free flat rate box and some garbage stuffed in for protection.
i did not hold it against you for not separating. if i did you would have received a negative or neutral score. i'm not like that though. the shipping cost thing was irritating to me though.
sorry. i take full responsibility for my faults.

please block and report me.

do not respond.

this is annoying.

- mrniceguy1408

So I replied back again stating the following:

Dear mrniceguy1408,

You may have viewed the auction then before photobucket applied the changes to the pic for general viewing. People who don't clear their web browsers cache sometimes have this happen I guess and retain what they originally viewed, and the pic gets stuck on them until they clear their cache. It however shows up correct for me when I viewed the auction, and did before you used BIN, so I am not sure what to tell you there. I double check the auctions twice for typos once theey are listed and it appeared fine. Also, you were sent a receipt of the shipping cost, since you know a lot about shipping cost I am sure you will be able to read and review the receipt perfectly fine and see that the shipping cost was $4.67 before packing cost,etc. And as stated, I review cost every two weeks and refund buyers the difference if there is any. You did not contact me concerning any of this prior to leaving feedback. Also, shipping was paid for prior to you contacting me about Steam Hearts. You know this already. You can check the date on the shipping receipt if you like. Steam Hearts would have increased the weight past what was already paid for, so no, I could not have thrown in Steam Hearts, and besides, the feedback should only be applied to the current purchase, not to some hypothetical one you decided not to make. I guess that was another mark against me ehh, not paying double shipping so you could get free shipping cost on Steam Hearts? In the end, as stated, for someone who says communication goes hand in hand, you evidently have issues with it in general when you don't get your way.

- professorprofessorson

His final message back in response to this was:

Dear professorprofessorson,

cry me a river.

note is not on the photo on my page.

i don't complain before leaving feedback anymore because.... why cry about it. nothing ever gets done anyway. i am picky but reasonable.

shut the fu** up. you got a positive. you deserved the stars you got for the purchase i made. even the good stars. btw recycled bubble mailers are free and green. thanks for saving the planet.

as for the purchase i didnt make. flat rate! $5.××! had nothing to do with your shipping rating on my purchase.

Happy Hanukkah! Or Christmas if you celebrate. good start to a new year.

do not reply or i will report you for bugging me.

- mrniceguy1408

Replied back:

Dear mrniceguy1408,

Reasonable people make contact PRIOR to leaving feedback if they have any complaints. Thats common sense. Anyway, since it was posted prior on PCEFX about your Super System Card auction, I decided to post on this experience I have had with you as a buyer so people can have a more complete picture of who you are as a reseller.

https://www.pcengine-fx.com/forums/index.php?topic=13195.msg276370#msg276370



- professorprofessorson

And again:

Dear professorprofessorson,

hahhahahahahaahahaha! i do not give a sh**. i do no go on pcefx. real "reasonable" adults take responsibility for their actions. i am sick of sellers not being specific enough with their products. the shipping thing wasn't huge but a good seller would be more "reasonable". what would you have done for me if i complained? all you would have said "well i posted it on photobucket". "as is no returns" remember. you dont sound at all like a professor. im only nice to sellers that give 100%. look i know nobody's perfect but your response to things sounds like you lived with mommy for too long. get over it dude. youll live. try harder and post ALL details before people buy your stuff. get more high ratings and in no time youll be back where you once were. i think i might jump on pcefx just to clown half ass sellers and little Bs. good luck on your pitiful journey.

- mrniceguy1408

And so on:

Dear mrniceguy1408,

Sorry guy, but the details listed moderate wear, and the pic showing the insert for Dragon Slayer posted "moisture damage" directly on the pic. Stop feigning stupidity. You can clearly see "Dragon Slayer case insert has moisture damage" stamped directly on the 2nd pic in the auction. You were even refunded the difference on shipping. You have nothing legit to complain about. You were just upset I would not sell you the insert separately outside ebay, and that I could not bend time and space for his Highness so he could buy his wittle Steam Hearts and get free shipping. You made that clear in your bitter little rant about how when you complain to people no one listens. So sad, ammarite? I'd love for you to show up on PCEFX. We'd have a ball with you there. Resellers like you are always great for a laugh.

- professorprofessorson

blah blah:

Dear professorprofessorson,

i laughs at fools like you all day. i will be contacting ebay to get the feedback removed. i never said yo sell it off of ebay but only asked if youd separate. and i will jump on pcefx to give my side. post full description on ebay (since thats where youre selling it) not photobucket. laugh away my friend.

- mrniceguy1408

blah blah moar:

Dear mrniceguy1408,

People there can view it. Ebay can view your messages you sent me as far as trying to buy the insert separately. I already notified them. Please feel free to post the auction details to a auction everyone can already view. I am a well known seller and member there, good luck trying to twist the obvious in your favor. It aint gonna happen, but like I said, you will be fun for lulz.

- professorprofessorson

Original auction link to the one he purchased:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170963539860&ssPageName=ADME:X:RTQ:US:1123



Should also note, he listed the items he purchased off me up for resale and marked up the cost on them a bit more then he paid via his BIN prices. He also removed the insert from Dragon Slayer, so it is just a bare disc, making his price mark up even worse:
25 bucks BIN
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Dragon-Slayer-The-Legend-of-Heroes-TurboGrafx-CD-1992-Disc-Only-/130828809377?pt=Video_Games_Games&hash=item1e760134a1
30 bucks BIN
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Dungeon-Master-Therons-Quest-TurboGrafx-CD-1993-/140902179827?pt=Video_Games_Games&hash=item20ce6ca3f3

Anyway, I figured you all may want to know in case he wants to buy anything off you, or in case he is a lurker/member here.

[NecroPhile]

Sent him a time waster message on the DS auction:

I'm confused.  The title says "disc only", yet the item condition clearly says ".....cover art and liner notes are included for a CD.....video game instructions are included....." and a jewel case is shown in the picture.  So what is/isn't included?

Thanks.

[monads]

It was actually I who grabbed your copy of Steam Hearts professor   I'll just ahead and leave you feedback now (without even actually having received the item yet) as your auction was clearly stated and I trust ya 

monads

[mrniceguy1408]

Professor. I left positive feedback with high stars where they belong. Your note on the photobucket pic was and still is not there on my ebay page. Next time post it on the description with the rest of your details. Im not a bad seller or buyer and from your positive feedback score it proves you are not either. Thats why I left you a positive feedback. Now my side is out you guys can have your fun.

I seriously appreciate that gesture. When I jump on tonight to leave some FB I will be sure to get yours in there. I usually just do it in batches most of the time. Also, if anyone was curious as to how well my daughter can handle packing the small stuff, this is the pack job on one/single jewel case game:





First Class Mail related, I wont send any jewel case stuff out unless the package is extra thick with bubble wrap, and she is well aware of this and packs them extremely well.

Thats why I left you a positive feedback. Now my side is out you guys can have your fun.

It's ok NecroPhile, I will bring the rage:



And the fuck face finally arrives. Look asshole, no one else is having any issue reading the auction details and viewing the pics in the auction. The details specified it had moderate wear, and it truly was moderate, as opposed to extreme and undisplayable. The ebay condition grade was listed as "GOOD", because, for one, one of the games was complete, and the other, the condition of the insert fit "GOOD" by ebays terms. When all else fails, and the most important item to you is the insert, and you see it has a listed condition of "moderate wear", and you are worried about the exact specifics, maybe you should check the pics AND message the seller asking about the exact details PRIOR to using BIN.

As for the pics, ALL my auction pics are hosted on my Photobucket account. The 2nd pic down in the auction, the one containing the image of the insert, it was this one exactly, as found on my PB account and the auction details:



The exact damage concerning the insert was listed on the pic so that it could be specified again that the insert did have moderate wear/damage. This was my way of doubling up on the details. There is nothing wrong in doing so. I actually take the time to take multiple pics of the items I sell, as opposed to you, who cant be bothered to take more then one pic, but wants to accuse me of not being in depth on my auction details concerning condition. As stated prior to you, for someone who claims to be reasonable, none of your actions provide proof of the such, and it's not like I sent you a item not as described. It was sent EXACTLY as described AND shown in the auction details and pics.

And on the topic of reasonable people, reasonable people do more then glance at a auction then hit BIN, and complain later when they are not happy. Reasonable people don't hold grudges when they cant have a extra game magically added to free shipping because their prior purchase had its shipping already paid for. Reasonable people don't plot to burn the seller simply because they wouldn't sell them a game insert separately from a auction. Reasonable people also don't take the two games they purchased, remove a item from one of them, then jack up the price of both games on two separate auction listings either. You basically complain about the condition of the items, and yet at the same time relist them asking for more money then I did? Other then being a total cunt, where is the reasoning in that? And last but not least, reasonable people don't take a Super System Card, add a sandwich bag, and trump up the price by $150. I mean, are you serious?



And also, I mean seriously, who the fuck do you think you are that you think I need to stop everything, yank down the auction listing, take new pics, type up new details, and re-list, all because MR. Niceguy has to have his insert. Are you that fucking childish that you'd expect me to do that? The first time I declined your offer should have been it for you. Get a fucking clue idiot.

[VestCunt]

Niceguy - No one cares about your reseller PR damage control. No one except for you and Prof care about that water-damaged insert. You can write chappy responses all day, but all we see is a parasite noob (gouging the hell out of a 3.0 card) trying to flip a trusted member's games for profit. What do you think our verdict will be? Enjoy your stay.

[PCEngineHell]

You can write chappy responses all day, but all we see is a parasite noob (gouging the hell out of a 3.0 card) trying to flip a trusted member's games for profit.

This seriously. I had the two games listed together at a low start bid of $32.99 and a BIN of $44.99. Guy complains about the condition, removes a insert, then relist them separately and ask for a bit more.... I mean, wtf.... And the whole sandwich bag $150 mark up on the super system card thing, I mean really? Other then VG Quantity, who else does this kind of stuff?

*reads past few posts about mrniceguy1408.
*Thinks, "I really hope that this guy enjoys Turbo and will contribute to the discussions about these great games instead of butting heads with established members."

Don't get your hopes up. I could give him the benefit of the doubt if he had merely said something controversial, but he's done far more than "headbutting." Look at his actions:

1) Established reseller gouging a 3.0 card for $270 BIN

2) PCEFX lurker for the past 8 months, never posted except to defend himself.

3) Dubious ebay integrity: breaks condition grading guidelines, requested lot to be broken up, probably wanted to make purchase outside of ebay.

4) Flipping Prof's games at inflated price.

5) Docked feedback points without warning after Professorson had refunded shipping overcharge. This is fucked up even if Prof neglected to mention the water damage. There is no better sign of an honest person than when an anonymous ebay seller takes the time to refund some chump a $1 because they made too much money. Whenever someone does this for me, I know they have my back and problems are easily solved if I ask nicely, in the unlikely event there is one.

6) Unprofessional on ebay: "shut the fuck up", "i laughs(sic) at fools like you all day", "I don't give a sh**", etc.
Now, I have no right to criticize anyone for swearing on the internet, but one should maintain a modicum of civility when doing business. If nothing else, the ebay arbitrators are more likely to side with the guy who isn't talking like a longshoreman. A man has to be pretty callous and spiteful to drop F-bombs and antagonize their business partners with impunity.

[mrniceguy1408]

Haha! Damn! You were right professor. These guys are rippin me a new one!!!! Im curious. what do you guys think I should list it at? I really don't want to get rid of it but let me know what I should post it for please.

Btw. I dont mean to be a "lurker". I signed up originallyto get those custom case labels

[PunkCryborg]

I wish steam hearts and dragon slayer would've been been offered for sale here instead of ebay. This problem would've been avoided completely.

This is the thing here too on this.  In my payment and shipping policy I state the following:

PAYMENT AND SHIPPING INFO IS LISTED AT THE BOTTOM OF THE AUCTION, AND YES, I DO COMBINE SHIPPING COST ON MULTIPLE ITEMS. IF THE SHIPPING CALCULATOR OVERCHARGES YOU I WILL REFUND THE DIFFERENCE AFTER THE ITEM HAS BEEN SHIPPED. IF THERE IS ANY DOUBT, CHECK MY FEEDBACK PRIOR TO PLACING ANY BIDS

and

 

SHIPPING AND PAYMENT POLICY: Shipping in the USA will be offered via USPS First Class if weight of item allows. If having to combine with other items or due to weight over 13 oz., it will be shipped via USPS Parcel Post, Priority Mail, or UPS Ground. On computers specifically, I only use Parcel Post to normal addresses, and can only ship within the USA from the east to west coast. If you live in Hawaii or PR, etc, or outside of the USA, I can not ship any heavy computer related items to you. I can only ship to the address presented in the paypal payment info. My shipping out/handling time is typically between 3-5 business days after payment is made, unless weather is bad (winter storm, etc). Cost will depend on location of buyer. Do not submit payment until invoice is sent please. I will combine shipping cost for multiple items. Again, shipping to Puerto Rico, Hawaii, and Alaska or outside of the USA will not be available for large computer related items. Package will be sent with both tracking and fully insured for the auction end value. As I do not ship outside of the USA, please do not place a bid or use BIN if you are not located in a location I can ship to. PAYPAL ONLY. NO ECHECKS! PAYMENT EXPECTED WITHIN 4 DAYS OF END OF AUCTION. REMEMBER: ALL ITEMS SOLD AS IS. IF THERE IS ANY DOUBT, CHECK MY FEEDBACK PRIOR TO PLACING BIDS

Now what I do is basically every two weeks or so I check sold and shipped items payment and shipping details, do the math, and if a refund is due I issue it, which is why I was logged in my account last night. I don't do it right away because honestly its easier to do the stuff in batches when I have all the shipping receipts sitting in front of me and I dont have to continuously log into paypal, and it is hardly ever required, ever, except sometimes on small items like in this case. There is a mandatory $3 fee tacked onto all my auctions for handling and packing materials in addition to the calculated shipping cost. I do not always need this fee, as stated concerning small items, or all of it anyway, but I cant stress enough how many times this does not even help either.

Auctions like my computer ones where I charge a flat $37 and spend $42 on shipping alone, before buying a large box and lots of thick bubble wrap, the extra $3 does not make a dent. It does help though on small items that just happen to exceed certain cost due to the auction ending for a lot more then expected and extra insurance needing to be purchased past the initial amount, or in cases where the shipping cost was quoted for parcel post, but that extra $3 being there also just happens to help cover the extra buck something to pay for priority mail. Its there to allow these things when needed. When some, or all of it is not needed, it is refunded back in due time.

I have 100 percent feedback rating. I do run into assholes like this now and then that like to fuck with my DSR over petty shit, but the fact remains, I do have 100 percent feedback, and even if I didn't, my FB is awesome enough anyway to know I do a good job. Of the few times a item has arrived not as described, it was because USPS totally destroyed the package and I had to open a insurance claim. It is rare, but it happens. The people that usually fuck with my DSR more often then not are resellers with lower stats then mine. Its one of their ways with screwing with what they perceive to be the competition, or to lash out because of their own self-made problems.

Also, just to state again, this auction Mr.Niceguy purchased, the stuff was not mine. I was doing this auction as a favor for Sini. As everyone here knows, the guy got hit hard by Sandy. He is still recovering from that mess. This was one of the ways I was able to help him out. I stood nothing to gain from this auction, and it was my time and energy spent on handing it for him, which I would gladly do for any friend in need.

Btw. I dont mean to be a "lurker". I signed up originallyto get those custom case labels

It's all Sparky's fault, I knew something was wrong with that guy!

So, you ARE a gamer?

If so, then getting into the discussion side first is usually better than only getting involved solely for the trade/sale board.

[PCEngineHell]

I wish steam hearts and dragon slayer would've been been offered for sale here instead of ebay. This problem would've been avoided completely.

You know, I like this rationale, but at the same time, out of the hundreds of items I have listed here to give the community some kind of first dibs, only a few have actually sold, via trade mainly. With the holidays going on, and so many here already holding sales trying to get money in to cope with the holidays, I did not wish to conflict with others sale threads. These items were not for trade obviously either, as they were not mine. Someone here contacted me via pm in fact after seeing the Steam Hearts auction and made a offer to do a trade, and I had to turn them down, which I hated to do.

Sorry, just how it is. The sooner money was obtained, the better for the party they were being sold for, so I could not waste time having them sit on a thread here for days on end. It was my time I was volunteering to move the items, so I did so the best way I knew so they would sell in the fastest time possible so I could get Sini the money faster. If its any consolation to you, Bernie was notified about Steam Hearts, as was Herc prior to the ebay listing. I kept it as simple as that in order to get things done faster.

Or not. Both ebay buyers are PCEFX members.

HAHA.....ZINGER!... HEY...YO! 

Nice act. Hope you don't mind if I keep bumping your true colors.

cry me a river.

hahhahahahahaahahaha! i do not give a sh**.

shut the fu** up. you got a positive. you deserved the stars you got for the purchase i made. even the good stars. btw recycled bubble mailers are free and green. thanks for saving the planet.

report me if you'd like. I've been a bad boy.

your response to things sounds like you lived with mommy for too long. get over it dude. youll live. try harder and post ALL details before people buy your stuff. get more high ratings and in no time youll be back where you once were. i think i might jump on pcefx just to clown half ass sellers and little Bs. good luck on your pitiful journey.

Happy Hanukkah! Or Christmas if you celebrate. good start to a new year.

do not reply or i will report you for bugging me.

i laughs at fools like you all day. i will be contacting ebay to get the feedback removed. i never said yo sell it off of ebay but only asked if youd separate. and i will jump on pcefx to give my side. post full description on ebay (since thats where youre selling it) not photobucket. laugh away my friend.

Everybody gather around.

Professor. I didnt read the last entry but there is no need to. I looked through my ebay page and clicked through the links. It was there. I didnt know you could click through to a link. I just scrolled through the posted pics. I am wrong. I will be removing my feedback when I get a chance today or tomorrow. I apologize for any dickhead moves I made throughout all of this. Im glad I took the time to read all of your posts and listen. You are a true professor and I have just been schooled by you. I hope this will help you gain rank and respect beyond what you already have earned. This is pretty embarrassing but a lesson. I thank you all for this experience and Im sorry we couldnt discuss better issues on better terms. I  will make a change in my life. Now.

I am so happy this happened today.  I had a lot of free time to keep up on the forum today, and this is just comedy gold.  Bravo fellahs.
I would have been bummed out if I missed this all day.  I'm not being sarcastic either, this is making me piss myself.

[PCEngineHell]

As far as I am aware, the damage is already done. I do not believe feedback for a seller can be removed unless ebay themselves find cause to do so, due to profanity, etc, or the seller is able to send a feedback revision request and the buyer accepts it. In this case I can not do so. Even though the DSR stats were lowered, the feedback itself has the allusion to being a "positive" simply due to that being the type that was chosen to post, and you can not send a FB revision request for a positive. Also, you were not contacted in regards to me requesting or hoping you'd change the FB. My only goal was to state how fucked up it was. Nothing else to say on the matter really.

[mrniceguy1408]

It was fucked up. Honestly I think it stems from so many bad buys with bad descriptions and nasty sellers lately I am short to the point of irrational. I think since I posted negative comments in the positive feedback they have to remove it  if it is brought to their attention. I will genuinely try my best and do what I can.

Looks like he found a bunch of gaming stuff at a yard sale thinking he found a gold mine.

[blueraven]

Maybe he thought that the orange color of the N64 would make it compatible with the Turbostick...

[xcrement5x]

The $4 shipping is the best part.  If it was a bit more reasonably priced I'd be interested, there's even an expansion pak in the system.

This is a weird listing of random shit, but not really a bad deal.

Figure the stick goes for $20-25,
Completed listings of the N64 go from $40-60.
Exp Packs are $15-20
Boxed Starfox complete is $30-40

That is a range of $105 to $145 for $94. The only real problem is it is a random mashing of crap, which you'd have to REALLY want all of, to consider it a deal.

Awesome. PACFAMILY is quickly becoming my favorite seller.

Okay now I've seen it all. Hilarious that they're 'graded' too!

[OldMan]

Can someone report him for fraud? Granted, he does say they are stickers....but the tg cards don't have stickered labels. The labels are printed directly on the plastic.
So if he's selling a sticker, it has to be fake. And if it's not fake, it's not a sticker (and hence mis-representation).
Catch-22.

[Frank_fjs]

He's not selling a game label/sticker, he's selling a price or some other form of sticker that was thrown on by a store/retailer at some point.
