Are fruitcakes running rampant on eBay lately? Selling, buying, listing, feedback, etc...

Right....people like that I have no problem telling to go buy it there. Someone messaged me back in January telling me my shelob attacks for $25 was just $12 on LEGO Shop at Home when they cut the price and I was charging to much. Perks of being at the right place at the right time!

Wouldn't be surprised if he was banned from lego, that's why he's bothering you.....lol. That's exactly what I told him to do but I warned him to be careful because that website looked a little suspect. My DLC included a free game & 3 months of PS plus.....How is that not worth more, to anyone?

I guess he found out you have been catching people and cutting off the top of their heads... You tried but you couldn't get away with it man.

 

 

 

The funny thing is, it would have made more sense if he called me an employee of target, this was a retail store exclusive not an Activison employee one. I've never had an employee exclusive anything.....im just not that cool!!!

Off topic, anybody see what trenth got for his star wars collection on eBay? Glad he let it ride...

Now it's time to do the "please pay dance". haha the buyer has low feedback, but 100% and comments praise his fast payment, so we'll see.  Thanks for the advice guys.

Whatever he was selling, he wanted $61 to ship it.  Probably cost a lot to ship those eggs.

 

Seems legit.  Jingle Fitzlee's are heavy and cost a lot to ship.

Just for this comment, I'll bump my Queen Anne's thread.

 

I think your terms are fair, I sold a used one for well over that.  EBay of course, so there are fees to factor in too.

Won Unimog on eBay for somewhat reasonable price (basically MSRP), mint box was promised. The guy ships in the poly bag!  Gah!!! I thought only kmart and amazon does that...

Still sealed, but box took a bit of a beating on the way. Got $25 refund from him (considering that used ones are sold for about that much, did not have enough room to negotiate). But, gah!!!

So dumb, I can't believe people ship in bags.

Actually, it did happen to me before(not even poly bag - just a paper wrap around the box), but seller was like: "oh, i was out, had to ask my wife to ship". Got discount there as well, but sour taste in the mouth remained...

I know you can't on every purchase, but I do sometimes send the seller a note and let them know I'm a collector and I wan the item shipped in another box and packed carefully.  Sometimes they'll go to great lengths and sometimes they won't.

Yeah, got one of those as well. Some guy from Korea bought Architecture Studio from me on Amazon, via freight forwarding. Sent me this:  "Dear Seller,

I just placed an order for Lego Architecture Studio.

As I am a serious collector, I care about the box condition very much, and I hope to receive the box in mint condition"

 

Yep, did make me fiddle around, trying to find the box with the least number of creases/scratches...
