Ebay help needed

[gaidensensei]

OK, but what's this got to do with this post?

You wanted 185.00 and I bought mine new for 199.00 and you were wondering why there wasn't many takers.

AHHHH, I see you had it here for 165.00..not bad but I'd still have bought new for 199.00.

PSS...I already have glasses but sometimes they get a little foggy.

I'll clear this up before you get ripped a new one by the rest of ATOT.
I'm talking about the FS/FT section, where either lack of interest or economy problems is causing items not to sell. Stuff like Dirty Ape's 975 cpu is a prime example of it, it's been lingering around here for a bit of time and people are not grabbing it right away despite it being 30%+ off retail and 15+% off ebay prices.

wtf ... i've read your OP like 4x and i still can't figure out what the hell sounds "fishy" about your story.

Chinese unconfirmed address. It's like selling a laptop to someone in "Nigeria"

Reminds me of someone who refused to buy a $10.00 item from me on ebay because I use a PO Box for transactions. His excuse was that he couldn't come find me if there was a problem [he lived 2 freakin states away].

so you are telling me you would feel any different shipping to a confirmed chinese address if all the other variables were the same?

I was selling it for 165 shipped to your door. That 199 is not including tax which would be 17 more dollars and that's also figuring you have a microcenter within driving distance. Even then you have to figure in time spent driving there and gas, wear and tear on your car. So $165 was more than fair.

It was a Chinese buyer but an American confirmed address.

as long as you only send it to the address on paypal you're covered.

I totally agree but I'm probably not the only one thinking that 199.00 for new is the better deal or you would have had more interest in FT/FS.

It's just a judgment call but may have been a factor in the lack of interest here.

No big deal.
