it was the 5th time i listed it... what is werid i listed it at least 3 times before xmas all 3 times with a start price of 4.99 (since that is what i paid for it )

that

monster rancher 4 for almost 50 and FF 7 GH at almost 30 Was a total shock.

sold around 30 of 70 items... man its going to be fun standing in line at the post office come Tuesday or weds...i thought it took alot of time getting DC and insurance on 10 packages just think how long 30 will take

so far half have paid (2 being that Monster rancher 4 and the FF person already paided)

lol im pretty tempted to relist the 40 that didnt sell but probally wont... most of the stuff is junk ... if ebay would do another 10 cent listing day i might but i dont think I will relist the stuff for 45 - 70 cents per listing

you should do your own postage online...saves money on DC and its easier

dont you have to print that stuff out though... i dont have a printer on this computer ... i drive right pass a post office daily so its not really a problem going to the post office,,,,....


well seems 2 of the people are getting neg feedback cause they cant read. says only ships to confirm addresses in lower 48 states..

i got one person wanted me to ship the game to England
i got one person wanted me to ship a game some place in china


lucky both of these people were on low price games

i hate when people from out of country do that crap...either way you would need a printer and a scale + labels which i got a plenty too last me for years so it works for me...and i have already saved quite a bit since DC ends up being either 13 cents or free if you use Priority...

can you get delivery confirm and insurance and do in home pick ups...

also how hard is it to use those 24 hour machines..... i probally stick to tellers handing them the items...

sort of another shocker

megaman 4 gba Cart only around 15.50 shipped when you can get this game brand new sealed for 10 bucks at TRU

thinking about running over and seeing if they have another copy of it at our TRU... dump off the cart only for 15 and pick up the sealed one for 10 : )

[Jedi1979]

the machines are very convienent...i used to have no problem with them when i needed them...and you can get insurance online...(i am going by the paypal shipping services which is what i use)...and i think you can schedule a pickup but i am not positive on that one

[secretvampire]

To be honest, you don't even need a scale. If you are using bubble envelopes:

Small cart games (GB, GBC, GBA) = 2 ounces
Large cart games (N64, SNES, NES) = 4 ounces
Single jewel case games (DC, PSX) = 5 ounces
DVD case games (Xbox, GC, PS2) = 6 ounces
Complete boxed games in a small outer box with padding (GB/GBC/SNES/N64) = around 9-10 ounces

If it's a double jewel case or larger (Saturn, etc) just use a Priority box at $3.85.

[slidecage]

now comes the fun part tomorrow in trying to find these games.... i know where around 20 of them are (left them out) now i got around 5-6 different places to dig in my house looking for these games.... under tv , under 2nd tv stand, in bags under bed ect.....lol at least i know get them ready to ship before the day you want to ship them.... first time i shipped out 20 items on Dec 7 i didnt have them ready and took me almost 4 hours finding the stupid things in my house :)

at least what sold tonight will cover all the games i got at TRU and Bestbuy these last 10 days... and the Gamefly games i ordered last night

i dont know about that...what about the games with thicker books then others...when First class rates apply its per ounce...ive had DS games with difference in weight being an ounce or more

Crazy that a used Final Fantasy 7 Greatest Hits is selling for almost the same price as a sealed Final Fantasy 8 non greatest hits

[slidecage]

what is more crazy is that this game went for almost twice what i sold a non greatest hits FF 7 for a few months back...... something thinks there is something fishy with this..... I just went back and doubled checked and it seems they havent paid yet (got it confused with another game on list)

person has a 100% feedback but with only 7 reports..... hopefully they pay : )

I've sold several N64 games that weighed at 5 ounces and DVD games that weighed at 7+ ounces. Your weights are typical, but w/o a scale you don't want to fuck it up by going too low, IMO. Honestly w/o a scale I'd allow 8 ounces for DVD games just to be absolutely sure.

Of course you can just do Priority for everything and you know a single game will never be more than a pound.

That is cheap and i'll pick some up but where do you usually buy them at?? They are normally less than $3 for a 5 pack at Walmart. You are talking about regular 6x9 bubble mailers right? I know the post office they are like $1.10 each and office depot sells 25 packs for like $20, you gotta shop around.

Let's just say I've never had a single item returned by the post office and I've shipped thousands of items.

lol i got like 12 bucks on some plat. hits star wars game that i got for free.

8.5 x 10 is what i ususally buy... already try offer depot and they are still around 1 buck each. walmart around here jacked theres up to around buck each now .... that is why im going to be hitting walgreens hart this week

3 for buck you will never find them that cheap.. though dollar bill stores sometimes have 2 packs for buck

Oh, I've seen the PO deliver some things to me that were just obnoxious. (4 oz. 1st class label on a USPS branded Priority box that weighed 11-12 ounces for example) I'm hoping they start cracking down on that BS, but I guess it's less labor for them to just deliver them or something.

If you're shipping thousand of items you really should spring for a scale.

You're probably right, but I've gotten so good at telling weight by feel, I don't think I need one anymore. The stuff I posted was my general guidelines, but I can tell if it's a bit more or less (for instance, a two-disc DVD case game is usually 7 ounces, etc.)

Indeed they do ;) (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=8239569006&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMESO%3AIT&rd=1)
