Hmm, I wonder if I should get rid of my extra sealed copy of GH3 by selling it for $30 on Half.com or if I should try to trade it for a PS3 game on the forums?

Just toss it in the trash.

Guitar Hero is corny garbage.
 
[quote name='Mojimbo']Yeah, Rokk, I've had like the second lowest BIN for a day plus and I haven't gotten any hits. :whistle2:[

Some German dude did ask how much it would cost to ship to him(even though I said I only ship to the US.) Don't even know if I should respond.[/quote]
Why don't you ship worldwide?

I've sold dozens and dozens of stuff to Europe and Japan when I used to sell music promos from my record store.
Shipping is like 4.60 for a DVD to Germany.

I don't because I have to go to the PO for internationally shipped stuff. For domestic mail I can print the label at home and drop in a collection box.

And no tracking unless you buy really expensive postage.

But if it wasn't for the PO hassle I'd probably ship internationally upon request to buyers with decent feedback.

Super average.
 
Got an extermination on Halo 3 just now.

It was on grifball and I think the last dude was technically killed by the bomb blast and not me, but it gave me the medal. :D

I'm wondering if I can get up to level 35 on Lone Wolves. I've barely played that hopper in the past couple weeks and feel like I'm much better than last time I dipped my toe in. Played 5 or so matches over the past day and went up to 30.

That's the next game I'm getting from GameFly.

No, no, when I just worked at one.
I made a killing selling promos overseas.

I suppose while it's true you can't really track it unless it's super premium shipping, I've never had a problem.

I sold stuff nearing a hundred bucks and things went smoothly. Sometimes it takes a long ass time for them to get it though.
Something that cost more than that though I'd want to get rid of in the US of A.
 
dallow, it's because I don't want to deal with it. If I send it out through USPS it'll get there pretty much guaranteed within a calendar week through First Class and I'll have confirmation so they can't screw me over. The time factor isn't so much for me but ebay'ers are impatient as fuck. All bets are off if I send internationally and I think ebay as of late has been giving the buyers the advantage in disputes so fuck that. Same reason why I don't do media mail and why I don't even ship to Canada.[quote name='Brak']Just toss it in the trash.

I'm not gonna drop an extra $70 (and a full $170) on something I don't want to play.

The only thing I really hate about Guitar Hero is the boo boo-ass set lists. I don't want to play those "classic" (note the quotes) rock songs, such as Cherry Pie and whatever piece of dogshit Poison rode on in the 1980s.

fuck that trash.[/quote]

I kinda like the idea of dumping it on someone.

I was thinking of swapping it for like Warhawk, but I can see that getting clearanced the fuck out.

All in all I'd say it's worth shipping overseas, especially with the weak dollar. If you get hosed 1 time out of 50 (and I'd bet it would be less than that in reality) you'd still make out better since you'd be taking in more on the listings that go well.

Hell you could build in an extra $1 or $2 into your international shipping for a fraud protection fund to cover the scum.

If I sold on eBay for a living I'd definitely sell overseas and go to the PO 2-3 times per week.

But it's just a hobby and I don't want to fool with the time sink.
 
There does need to be more variety on these Guitar Hero/Rock Band games tho. How many jazz, country, and blues songs are exactly on them anyways? Or prog rock and deeper tracks from bands for that matter?

And I'm NOT spending $60 just to play a bunch of Aerosmith songs either.
 
I guarantee its European PS3 owners jumping all over those MGS DVD/beta stuff since they don't have access to it.
Same went with all the promos I sold.
 
I'm glad no one listens to your opinions.

There's a good bunch of southern rock in RB already, I'm fine with that replacing country. Jazz and blues? Seriously? They need to prioritize this shit and I definitely want Who's Next before George fucking Straight. Deeper tracks will come with full album releases, like they've already done with Grateful Dead and Boston. Even a lot of the DLC for bands are deeper tracks. Instead of choosing the new Smashing Pumpkins single from last year or something off Mellon Collie or Siamese Dream they chose a relatively obscure song from their very first album.

That would explain why there's copies going for upwards of $40 or $50 BIN when I can't sell mine with a $25 BIN, dallow. Perhaps I'll make an exception.
 
Shut-up, Mojimbo.

No one wants to hear you talk.

...

Oh. Wait.
 
[quote name='Mojimbo']At least someone bit on your auction, Rokk.

Mine was probably cheaper, up earlier and still hasn't sold. :cry:[/quote]

Yeah, and I probably won't get paid. This is the same story I got on my GHII and the guy never paid.

fucking ridiculous that I get stuck with this shit. How the fuck do you discover as soon as you buy something that, hey, your Paypal account is fucked up!

Dumbasses.

Mine was $25 and $5 shipping.
 
Where is the seller located rokk?
I'm curious as to who's actually buying these DVDs.

I bet he's American.
Foreign buyers always paid RIGHT AWAY.
 
How's UTIII? That seems fun under one and a half conditions.

1. You're playing with friends.
1.5 You're dicking around with the third party content.

I wouldn't pay more than $20 for it though.

---

Mine's like $22/23 with $5 shipping, Rokk. I always do BINs and set mine so that it's not sold until the guy actually pays("immediate payment required") so that's probably a big detractor.
 
I only played UT a few times. All I kept thinking about every time I played it was that I really need a new PC. I guess some people liked it, but I really need a PC to truly enjoy that game and that series.
 
[quote name='Mojimbo']Dayum Rybread, you were all over that game before it came out too.[/QUOTE]

There isn't anything wrong with the game, it is just I don't have the money to build a PC to play the game the way it was intended. For some reason I really just can never get into console ports of PC games. It always irks me to play them because there are always compromises and the game is never as good as it should be. FEAR, Battlefield, UT, etc. All those series come to consoles are are no where near as good as they are on the PC.

I can't find the Wiimote.
I'm really pissed about that.
 
Hello OTT. I got to Olympus Heights in Bioshock today. Once you hit Fort Frolic the game really starts picking up. It is even more awesome now.

Now, I have to start getting ready to go to a Baby Shower, this outta be fun. :/
