My PS2! (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=8149614091&ssPage Name=STRK:MESO:IT)

Wow, got a lot more than I expected for an older 50001 PS2 with 4 games and a DVD Remote. Any comments?

[Jaket]

[greydemise]

[Gameboy415]

Wow, congrats!

I wish I could bring myself to part with mine, but I have so much crap saved on m HDD I don't think I could.....

[Trakan]

New PS2, used for 2 or 3 hours? Up to 9 new and used games but you only get 4?

[zewone]

Better than Xbox? What was that all about?

[Poodleman]

looks to me like you had someone pimping the price up for you!

[coolieman2001]

I hope whoever won your auction read all the details. Your auction title is kinda misleading dude. Whats with the "NEW PLAYSTION 2". It's not NEW its's USED !

[Akkis99]

ur gonna get caught if u continue to shill bid.

[CrimsonGeist]

How much did it go for, the link didn't work. And if what the other guy said was true, if it said NEW PLAYSTATION 2 in the title, it better be new.

[Nirvanaguy777]

Ill be more positive than the other posters promise...ok here goes....GOOD JOB

[Akkis99]

im just letting you know shill bidding is illegal and if they catch it ur fucked. They can prosecute for wire fraud

[greydemise]

ur gonna get caught if u continue to shill bid.

yea i got caught just recently :-[..i got 2 keep my account..but my dad got screwed :-\

[Akkis99]

ya if they are jerks about it they can prosecute you. Its retarded yes but it is illegal.

[jimbodan]

ur gonna get caught if u continue to shill bid.

yea i got caught just recently :-[..i got 2 keep my account..but my dad got screwed :-\

I don't see how you could get caught unless you used the same computer? Hell even then, you could always say a friend came over and used it and he didn't know it was your auction or something similar.

Ah, same mailing address, that helps explain it

[ChrisXE]

hmm the avg parent will think when you said NEW PS2, that it would be the new slim slick one, tis the season to hear whinning for refunds :)

[Tespo125]

Wow, you morons think that just because some guy bid over and over in the last hour that you think it was me on another name jacking up the price? Well, yes it does look suspicious since the guy is a new member and has 0 feedback, but I am a ethical, moral, and experience aBay seller. How dare any of you acuse me of something this low. I take it as insult. The guy emailed me asking me all these questions. Look:

Dear tespo125,

hi, I am looking for a pristine/mint condition ps2 system w/ box & all the original packaging & connections that come with the system when purchased brand new all baggies/styrafoam...I am a collector of systems that is why i ask, please advise what is the item brand new in the yellow package in the pic...thanks

hi ted ,
I am really interseted in your ps2, in your listing it says that you will give free shipping with buy it now...I would buy it now but there is no option for it. I s there a buy it now option or just auction? I would perfer the new remote if I where to purchase your system...let me know....thanks Rick

hi ted,
I am still interested in the ps2 but 250 is a little out of my price range, but I am still interested in the auction...thanks....Rick

Hi ted,
I am still in the auction, I hope I win...could you do me a favor and send me a list of all the games you have so that I may select the 4 games you will be sending if I win..Thanks.....Rick

Also, about them thinking it may be a slim model PStwo, I clear all that up in the Q&A at the bottom of the auction.

Oh and about the "BETTER THAN MICROSOFT XBOX", this was a little advertising gambit to get the auction to result when someone searched for "Xbox" or "Microsoft". Then when the clueless parents see that the title for an auction says the PS2 is better than the Xbox, they consider it for their kids. My auction received 1100+ views, that's more than most PS2 auctions ending on a Saturday evening.

What can I say, I'm good at what I do.

[willardhaven]

50001's go for a lot... I'd give my pstwo slim and some fingernail clippings for one.

There you go that will get people to stop badering you :roll:

Anyhow I'm glad you got so much for it but really you post suspicious stuff like this and people begin to wonder, then you damn them for "insulting" you. :shock:

[RaekwonThaChef]

Jeez, few of those games were worth a crap, which ones did the winning bidder take? Nice sell man.

I don't like you and I think you are an idiot. Good day.

Damn, next time I put something up for auction, Im coming to you for some pointers! Good Job

Nobody really accused you of jacking up the price. I think they were just joking around saying that you had someone do it. Not a big deal, you asked people for their thoughts.

I can understand the whole "Better than Xbox" statement, but what about what I said earlier? You didn't address that. You say the PS2 is New in the auction title, yet it is clearly stated that it is used in the description. Which is it? Up to 9 new and used games but you only get 4? That doesn't make sense. If you're going to give them a choice to pick 4 games from a group of 9 I can understand that. The way you worded it was wrong. You say you're ethical, moral, and an experienced Ebay seller, but I don't see that in this particular auction.

[judyjudyjudy]

Well, at least one person seemed pretty insistent that he was shill bidding. The guy with zero feedback has been bidding on other people's PS2 auctions, so I fail to see how that implicates shill bidding.

And I agree with Trakan that stating in the auction title and description that the PS2 is new when it's not is VERY deceiving, along with the "up to 9 games" thing.

[Wet Ninja]

50001's go for a lot... I'd give my pstwo slim and some fingernail clippings for one.

Out of curiosity, why is that? I assume it's because the 50001s are better or in more demand than other models, but what makes them better or in more demand? I don't own a PS2, so I haven't been keeping up with that sort of thing.

[doubledown]

Nice way to include NEW in the title.....you are deceitful

[slidecage]

how can something be New but used ?
i see tons of problems with the auction best of luck to you getting your cash and everything working out in the end, but i wouldnt be shocked if you run into some problems.. Meaning there are some people out there who look at pictures and not read and will think they are getting all that stuff. There is one auction where a dude showed like 30 GBA games complete but the auction was just for Sword of mana the end bid was like 250 bucks

you're good at what you do only if what you do is rely on stupid people to bid on your auctions

[Zenithian Legend]

really once a seal is broken it's not new anymore

[wubb]

Damn, next time I put something up for auction, Im coming to you for some pointers! Good Job

Careful, his listing has several eBay violations.

It is a 'choice' auction (choose 4 games from a list of 9)
Keyword spamming (Microsoft Xbox in the title)
And one I didn't catch until reading this post is the 'NEW' in the title when the system is not new.

But congrats on getting a nice total, OP. Hopefully the buyer understood he was bidding on a used system and won't be teed off.

I think you are better off never underestimating how dopey a buyer can be. I had one e-mail me earlier this week saying they were having trouble paying via PayPal and if I could let them know when I resolve the problem, wha?!

[CappyCobra]

I would like to know as well. Why is this version so coveted?

[Zing]

Probably because it is the latest non-PSTwo version. It has progressive scan, the latest firmware, support for the new DVD remote, no DREs, and supports the HDD.

[bmulligan]

NEW SONY PLAYSTATION 2 PS2! BETTER THAN MICROSOFT XBOX!
EXTRAS: SONY DVD REMOTE AND UP TO 9 NEW AND USED GAMES!

It's not NEW, it's got nothing to do with an Xbox, and you're only offering on 4 games, not 9.

I'd never buy from someone like you, that's just wrong. I'm suprised you didn't describe it as "mint".

And $20 for first class mail ? Priority mail would still be significantly less. Shame on you.

[kraid]

Wow, this guy thinks he's a genius but he is actually a deceitful weasel. What's up with putting NEW in the title and in the description AND then stating that it has been slightly used? Talk about misleading and also spamming Xbox at top is misleading too. If you think this is ethical then you have some serious issues. That would be great if the buyer ends up leaving negative feedback for that.
