I got schooled on Ebay

<< < (3/7) > >>

Benevolance:
I love buying stuff from Japan, but it's better to go over and pick it up rather than have it delivered.

Ahh yeah, I didn't read too much into it. I didn't respond after his last response, it wasn't worth an argument. I actually sent the question because I thought it was a type since his game boys were 8.00 shipping, but then I saw his saturn and other systems, and they also in the $80 dollar realm. If that was a cultural misunderstanding, man what a cultural misunderstanding.

I saw a ps one (the small one) at a thrift store for 89.99 but they had it 50% off so it was 45, seems very high. They also had ps2 in a bin in the back for 20 with no cables , but they had a bin of cables 6 each (50 % off). Man, i could get a better deal off ebay. Then I went to this goodwill outlet called the "Bargain Bin" man that was chaos. You take a bag, and for one flat price you can take everything that fits in there. All the good stuff was being put aside for auction though. If anyone has a modded ps1 or a fat ps2 let me know, i can help take it off your hands  ;D.

On the bright side, I was able to score a $50 Nintendo Wii of Craigslist, with Wii Sports Resort (in box complete)  and all the chords. I might mod it, or give it to my younger cousins. I'm pretty happy with that, but that still doesn't help me play Tobal 2  :'(

I buy stuff from Japan with some frequency, usually off Yahoo Auctions, which unfortunately requires the use of a deputy service and paying through the nose in fees as a result.  Never had a problem, but then I don't try to do it on the cheap.  Everything is shipped EMS and gets here within a few days.  I once had something that hit the USA (ORD) just before noon and was delivered to me in Indiana by 4PM.  Took about 3 days total.  Downside was it cost like $40 just in shipping.

$40 shipping makes more sense than $80, was it a big item?

Do you own a Geiger counter?
