A product that's not realy unique and was sold for 80$ new shouldn't rise to 300$... especialy not when sold as-is.

He demands $80 just for the shipping if you don't live in the continental US. Hopes that means he will deliver it.

The size of the item suggests that $80 is a lot of money for shipping and handling...

Wonder if this is just another 'spenceranne' auction. Bidders must be qualified first, insane prices, and spelling that says "grade three graduate".

Post by: melott on July 30, 2005, 03:25:50 PM: I've seen a few of this guy's auctions...
He really doesn't know much about the Amiga.
IIRC he has listed some things very cheap and
then like this item he's totally out of the ball
park. I've never bought anything from him, just
watched some of his stuff to see how it does.

P.S. After countless ignored emails and waiting months for my items to arrive, he had the gall to leave me feedback, "God bless this ebayer"...

Ah, the common misconception that stupid people are on drugs. Stupidity comes quite naturally.

Post by: Effy on July 31, 2005, 12:34:38 PM: It´s just a way for not paying Ebay fees, as Ebay charges 5% of the highest bid but not on shipping fees. So he will have to pay 5% of 1 USD instead of 5% of 80 USD. That does make a financial difference, doesn´t it ??? That´s like me selling a 128 Mb module for 10 euro and charge 25 euro shipping instead of 26 euro and 9 euro shipping, which is actually the same amount of money at the end ...

Or like this auction about a Warpengine 040/40 (http://cgi.benl.ebay.be/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=8187936272) which I bought at a fair price (inclusive shipping) but the card didn´t work and the seller didn´t refund me and PayPal said there wasn´t enough money on the seller´s account to refund me ...
