Cheap ass link (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=62054&item=8150860 055&rd=1)

Is this guy crazy or what? My favorte part is how shipping is $19.95 to the US but Alaska and Hawaii cost more.... like the $450 mark-up won't cover it... Sheesh... :roll:

Maybe it's plated with Gold and comes with a diamond encrusted controller? and maybe a few dozen games?
:roll:

What a jerk-off.

Needless to say, he just lost money with the eBay fees it took to list that. I don't see any sane person buying that. And if someone insane does accidentally manage to buy it, they'll never figure out how to pay. :roll:

[MauMauProductions]

Yeah, I bet someone whos kid is dying for it will buy it...Remeber the Furby/N64 Craze? N64's were going for a grand and Furbys for $500...

This new PS2 is so small and slim and already has the ethernet port built in so no need to spend extra on an adapter!
Oh thank God! I was worried about having to pay $40 for a netowrk adapter. \:D/

[btw1217]

how much is it to sell an item on ebay?

These are the basic fees. If you don't buy anything special like a highlighting, bold, subtitle, etc., this is how much it costs.

Insertion Fees
Starting or Reserve Price Insertion Fee
$0.01 - $0.99..... $0.30
$1.00 - $9.99 ..... $0.35
$10.00 - $24.99..... $0.60
$25.00 - $49.99..... $1.20
$50.00 - $199.99..... $2.40
$200.00 - $499.99..... $3.60
$500.00 or more..... $4.80

Final Value Fees
Closing Price Final Value Fee
Item not sold No Fee
$0.01 - $25.00..... 5.25% of the closing value
$25.01 - $1,000.00..... 5.25% of the initial $25.00 ($1.31), plus 2.75% of the remaining closing value balance ($25.01 to $1,000.00)
Over $1,000.01..... 5.25% of the initial $25.00 ($1.31), plus 2.75% of the initial $25.00 - $1,000.00 ($26.81), plus 1.50% of the remaining closing value balance ($1,000.01 - closing value)

He didn't get anything special, so it cost him almost $5 to list it.

So I'm guessing there's no shortage of these. I haven't been looking so I'm not sure.

I hate how we as eBay buyers get raped on shipping. I buy old consoles via eBay b/c they are hard to find where I live so I have no alternative. They usually charge me $20 shipping then I get the package via USPS and it says $3 right on the stamp. Great!

I know what you're saying. Some sellers go way overboard with "handling" costs. I think even UPS ground shipping would be less than $19.95.

I once paid a seller $4 to ship a DVD box set and when it arrived a few days later I saw $7.25 on the postage stamp and it was in a Priority Mail box. Just depends on who you deal with.

[javeryh]

yeah, I try to approximatre shipping costs but packaging and time are worth something too. As long as it's ballpark I'm OK with it...

[flowery]

if someone does get this they will most likely never see it...looks like an easy rip off

I had that happen to me when I bought my TG16. The guy wanted $20 to ship it, when I knew it'd cost $15 maximum. He bitched and moaned when I told him this, so I said fuck it and sent him the money. Then I get it and it says $12.xx on the stamp, the box was a free USPS box, it had no insurance, and used old newspapers to pad it, so it's not like he spent any money on the shipping materials.
