Rest assured, I have ran 8 previous lowballs and have paid much more on shipping than what was brought in. In that time, I have made one refund to a buyer when he bought many light items. I hadn't promised it before hand, I just thought it was fair. Frankly, if you come into this sale looking to be taken advantage of, then you don't know me or the guys taking part very well. I wanted to put this together simply to avoid many of the pitfalls from some (certainly not all) of the other lowballs such as gouging on shipping, shady bidding practices, questionable listing techniques and such. Now, I suppose I'll jump down off this big ass soap box and get back to updating. I typed this all spur of the moment off the top of my head, so if it seems a little harsh in any areas I apologize, but I felt that the integrity of the people participating was being questioned and I was just not to happy about that.

I didn't come into this sale looking to be taken advantage of. I go into every sale looking to be taken advantage of. Nothing personal.

That said, all I am saying is that I expect to pay real-world shipping costs. Not CAG-world shipping costs.

Let me know if you have to jump back up on your soap box. I'll dust it off for you.

What would you charge for shipping costs then? Most people need to buy the supplies and also pay for postage (considering some are sending it from across the Big Pond its actually not a bad deal).

I personally have no problem with the shipping as I understand that its hard enough to make money on these.

Can we make bids like this invalid for the next lowball sale? I have no idea what my number is, but I do remember the items I bid on.

I understand why people bid like this but I think it would be best if it wasn't allowed to happen.

(I know he just outbid the post right before him, but this was the last post I could quote, so just using it as an example).


303. Super Mario Sunshine (Complete) - $7
317. Zelda Four-Swords (disc+manual) - $4
415. Super Monkey Ball Deluxe (New/Sealed) - $3.5

lol I saw this kind of bidding before and dv8mad validated it so I figured it it was not against the rules it would be in my favor to do it that way. Afterall, we are all CAG's and we want to pay the least amount of money possible.

I would charge what it costs. What's so hard to understand?

There is nothing hard to understand but then you are expecting the seller to pay these costs out of their own pocket in hopes that the buyer reimburses them.

If the seller and a buyer dispute about whether or not something "should" have cost this much or that much, the seller could be SOL on shipping charges which isn't fair.

ALL lowball auctions (or at least, any that you should consider bidding on) have an explicit disclaimer about shipping costs. If you don't like it don't bid. It's a pretty simple concept.

If I had everything on my page listed for a penny but with massive shipping charges, no one would go for it because they would see that. It's up to the seller to create a situation where the buyer wants to buy.

And...judging by the responses here...dv8 and the other sellers have a pretty fair set-up where people are interested in bidding despite the flat rate shipping cost.

And again, if you don't like it, feel free to take your bidding elsewhere.

Would a picture of "480. Tomb Raider Legend (Complete)" be possible?

384. Shadow of the Colossus (New/Sealed BL) - $17
