Pentium 4 3.06 w/HSF
Pentium 4 3.06 w/o HSF
Ok so I bought these processors in the middle of july/august because I needed a processor for one of my systems and one of them was selling for cheap. So I tried to resell them but I got no bidders, so finally, after 2 months of attempting to sell them, I decided to just put a "buy it now" option on them, well it worked! Both sold, the one without HSF in the first week of having the buy it now option and the second one sold on the second listing w/buy it now option.
First guy I gave him a price for the S/H which was definately reasonable because it was being shipped via USPS and wasn't in a hurry.
Now this second guy was a wee bit different, after reducing the price on this listing (the one that includes a HSF) the guy prior to buying asked me if I could ship it fast. I told him I could ship it how ever quickly he wanted it and apparently he needed it asap. (If you guys read the 'fedex' thread, this was the shipment) I only found out that this guy wanted this processor shipped ASAP on my way home via checking ebay on my cellphone. So I told the guy I'll get a price estimate later that night.
So on my way home I went to Kinkos and said the package would be 1LB and I told them I'd be shipping to NY (as this would be most plausible, furthest destination) and I began picking out box sizes and asked the clerk to give me pricing ranging from Overnight to 3day shipping with different insurance addons etc. I brought the list of prices home and told the buyer how much it would cost for each shipping situation. He was rushed but obviously wasn't rushed enough to ship it overnight, and so I shipped it 2day. I told him that 2day would cost $45 (fedex said $42) and since the auction had an automatic $10 shipping price addon, the buyer made a first payment of 194 then made a second payment of $35 therefore totalling $45.
So, I leave in the wee hours of the morning so the package is the first to be shipped, I bring my own box and some packaging materials with me just in case I can use them (save money? gain space?) which it turns out I can. In the end I end up using my packaging materials and I think I used their box, everything fit nice and snug, and I believe the processor was packaged pretty decently. But here is the catch, the processor didn't cost $42 to ship like fedex said it would cost, instead I only paid $27.
So now I'm wondering, should I paypal the guy $15 back or should I just keep it?
BTW he has already left feedback and I've already left feedback, which really brings this down to a moral issue.
