Bad Blu-Ray Diode, so unfortunately cleaning won't help. Luckily it is only about $30 for a new laser assembly and if you are comfortable disassembling to clean it is not much harder. You just have to make sure not to move any gears out of place as those are a huge PITA to get back lined up as...

So all in all I had a pretty good day but not without a couple heartbreaks. A sale popped up yesterday that mentioned vintage video games and to email with any questions. I emailed and she said she had a SNES, Saturn, N64 and PSP with 10-20 games for each. I asked her to hold them for me and she...

My dad still rubs it in my face that he turned down stock options in early Apple in favor of a cash bonus to help when I was born! EDIT: My bad I realized later it was Microsoft stock he was offered as a bonus (500 shares) that today would be worth almost $4 million.

Got caught by a fake yard sale trap today. Person posted on craigslist saying they were having a yard sale and had many vintage game systems for $5/ ea and games for $1/ ea. The pictures they posted showed an NES, Turbografx and Sega Genesis/ CD/32x combo in the top of a box and 3 or 4 boxes of...

Ditto on Lego Marvel. I am refreshing in hopes it comes back but then it will be one game by itself and probably come by the time Lego Marvel 2 comes out (obviously exaggerating but still their standard shipping is SLOOOOOWWWW)

Relatively easy and only about $30 to fix. Just make sure not to move the gears on the Blu Ray drive when you replace laser as they are a pain to reset correctly and will take it from a 30 minute repair to several hours of trial and error.

It's funny how many of us found 3DS systems this weekend. I got another one today but this one the top screen just stays black. Must be the weekend of 3DSs

See that a lot people see listings for Heavy Sixers for $120-150 and think their 4 switch Telegames Atari is worth that.

Yes yes a million times yes. A few times now I've even resorted to peeing in empty Gatorade bottles. Getting older sucks I used to be able to hold it all morning even after chugging two large coffees.

I've done this quite a few times. Sucks being nice sometimes doesn't it?

No battery in Castlevania, it saved to memory cards. The blue crystals must have been some Heisenberg level Meth.

http://pages.ebay.com/help/policies/pre-sale.html You have to be able to ship in 30 days and set the handling time to how many days until you receive the item to ship.

Bing if you haven't already try taking the cart apart and rub the contacts with a pencil eraser until they shine then scrub with alcohol to clean them. 9/10 times that fixed games people told me they couldn't get working

I guess you could say I was having a shitty day. I wish I could say it was the first time it happened, but have found raccoon or other wild animal shit in boxes that were obviously stored in barns/sheds. That and other gross stuff you accidentally tough is why I always keep jugs of water...

Not much today. Someone apparently threw a dirty diaper into a box and then threw a pile of DVDs on top so the first yard sale I went to I got a nice handful of shit while flipping through DVDs. Great start to the morning. Did find a super clean Game Boy Advance SP AGS-101 for $1, I also bought...

As long as the seller responds to the case the buyer always has to ship the item back.

Thank you, I agree. eBay did not. They said had he returned a different model or different item entirely they could help but as it was the same model item there was no way to prove it was not the same one I sent him (because makeup foundation gets caked in every orifice of a cell phone case...

Had this happen a few times. One really pisses me off (brand new Otter Bkx case) because he has a store and sent back a different one than he purchased that was covered in his stores price stickers and beat to hell. Conveniently he wanted to return it 11 minutes after DC marked it as delivered too.

The length of time the defect rate is calculated over is determined by the amount of transactions you have in order to eliminate problems such as you described. I will be surprised if the defect rate policies stay as they are now for long based on people's reaction to them on the eBay forums and...
