Blacklisted: Jhuntley Placed some bids on my lowball auction, wanted them retracted due to shipping costs. I warn him that he should have read the rules but allow the retraction. He was more concerned with proving that placing faulty bids was not a serious offence rather than appologizing and agreeing not to do it to other CAGs.

Can I cancel my bids? I didn't really read your shipping rules. Sorry.
---End Quote---
That's not cool. I'll have to black list you for that but yes you may cancel I can't force you to pay. That is a *serious offense*. It wouldn't be bad if you only submitted 1 or 2 bids but you have a pretty good running total. I'm not trying to be mean but you have to understand the work I put into this...
As for the shipping rules they're pretty standard, over 13 oz and you get into $7-12 shipping, basically $1-2 per game... Unless you're in another country then you should always be reading the shipping rules first.
So cancel if you want but your reputation won't be very good.

Since I'm pretty sure I'll be outbid on God of War and I've already been outbid in everything else, I'll keep my bids then, and yeah, I live in America, probably should have read those shipping rules. Also, can you send me a link to where it says that it's a *serious offense, *I was unaware of that being bad if neither of us sent anything yet. Thanks, I understand that it must be hard to keep having to update your list so sporadically do to the sell. Can you tell me a little bit more about that petition. *Wow, I just made a really long paragraph*
---End Quote---
dv8 has given me the name of a mod who will check the situation and apply proper consequences, no I have not done anything yet. I find it serious because of the time I spent on those particular items from updating the bids. Like anything you bid on in this forum, take it seriously because you will get blacklisted.
Overall, don't do it again.
When replying to this look below at "Post Icons" the petition is to have a dv8 one added.
---End Quote---
Proper consequences, I said to keep my bid.
---End Quote---
Yes. And I said I have not done anything. Nor do I plan to do anything even if you retract your bids. That was a warning, again, next time read and don't do it again.
I'm trying to be cool about this man, I'm trying to tell you not to do this to other people. That's all.
---End Quote---
can you please send a link to the page where it says that you can leave negative feedback without either of us having sent anything. I was looking at the faq and I don't see it anywhere.
Kevhouse0308 Some guy who accuses my new items of being used, lowballs me, fails at reading, and tells me that he will buy something from me if I add in something I don't have...? (Note how he changes my words from "not having one" into "not knowing where to get one")
[quote name='ItsMeMark'][quote name='Kevhouse0308'][quote name='ItsMeMark'][quote name='Kevhouse0308'][quote name='ItsMeMark'][quote name='Kevhouse0308'][quote name='ItsMeMark'][quote name='Kevhouse0308']Would you be willing to end the auction early for a given price? I really need a 1TB hard drive...[/quote]
Make me an offer. It would have to be very near eBay price though.
As for the Wii fit , you misread.[/quote]
What are they going for on eBay nowadays? I have a supplier that sells computer parts, so I hardly look on eBay for them.
Also, do you have a price on the 500GB? Is that a 2.5" drive or a 3.5"? I'm just planning on taking these guys out of the external cases and putting it inside my desktop PC.[/quote]
The 500gb is a 2.5" external as stated on the post. Everything is up for offer so you'd have to name a price or I'll just let it roll on eBay.[/quote]
I can pick up a 1TB hard drive at tigerdirect for $89 today.
First of all it's me who would be spending the time, all you have to do is pay and open the box. I actually have to pack and pay for shipping. So no. No thanks.
As for the 500gb, it's an EXTERNAL. If you read the post EXTERNAL means it is in an enclosure. As for the adapter, what makes you think I even have one of those? Nevermind. Don't answer that.
Please read threads properly.[/quote]
No need to get hostile. I'm not going to buy something as important as a 1TB hard drive from some random joe unless it's at a good price. Otherwise, I'm just better off at TigerDirect or MicroCenter, where I know it hasn't been tampered with. Asking for $25 off because it's already been handled is completely reasonable. Besides, had you acted in a slightly more mature manner, I probably would have been open to paying a fairer price.
I read the post, and I already told you I was just going to take it out anyway. So maybe you're the one that needs to read properly. And as for the adapters, they're everywhere in one form or another, so I don't know how you can consider yourself a successful seller and have no clue where to aquire one.[/quote]
The drive is Brand New OEM. As stated in the auction. You are the one misreading everything. First the Wii Fit, now you accuse my new items of being handled. No where did you state that you were taking it out, it is implied from "putting it in your desktop" but not stated. You void all warranties if you pull the drive out so that would just be stupid. I know what they are and how to get one, but what makes you think I have it for sale, or have it at all?!
Protip: Don't go into people's threads asking for things not listed. It defeats the purpose of a list.
You've been blocked and blacklisted. Thanks.[/quote]

Includes the Box, Manuals, Plastics, Papers, Warranty Card, Extra Parts Order Form, Gun, Controllers, Power Cable, an the system. MINT and Tested working!) **Trade or Money Order Sale Only** No way Paypal is taking that much in fees.
Box:
Note: System was removed from the box before I flipped it around to take pictures.
Inside the box:
Testing:
*PS3, controllers, keyboard, TV, power strip and table are not included or for sale. *
The light gun could not be tested due to the LCD screen but since everything else works fine, I see no reason why it would not work. Only one controller was tested.
Disclaimer:
Although I tested it working please note it is a 24 year old game console and has been in storage for a very long time. There were chemical reactions with the insulation plastic with the cords touching the Styrofoam. Here's an enhanced picture to show what I mean.
This should be readily visible with the pictures I took but just in case, look again. The plastic literally cut into the foam and there are some sticky chemicals I have not cleaned off for fear of causing any kind of damage. It is cosmetic but the buyer should address it ASAP. Also it is important to note that there is some kind of adhesive on the bottom of the "A/V" cable adapter. I have not removed that either but did attach a note card to prevent it from sticking to anything else.
Also note this is a Sega America refurbished system (as seen in the pictures). I have not in any way opened the console to make repairs, Sega has done all of that.
It will be sold as-is, shipped inside another box, additional padding will go inside and outside the console. What you see is what you get. I don't know what more I can write to show you the condition so just ask questions.
This is probably the best condition Master System CAG will see in a while so be nice. Let me know of any offers but hoping to find some kind of Wii trade. Thanks!

ItsMeMark's Lowball Auction
I'm about ready to get this over #.
(What are those black censor bars?
Just random stickers I didn't bother to remove since they're cheaper games. I'll take them off if requested, they're not hard to remove.)
Auction Rules READ THEM:
1) Minimum bid $1. Increments of 50¢.
2) All bids, questions, comments must appear in this thread. No email or PM'd bids.
3) INTERNATIONAL, READ THE SHIPPING RATES.
4) Payment must be gift Paypal, concealed cash, or postal money order.
5) Most cases do have "shelf wear". If you are particular, ask questions.
Reading everything else is optional but to your benefit.
Shipping rates:
0-13 ounces (single game/ DVD/ manga): $3 via First Class
13+ ounces must be quoted but a good estimate: $5-7 media mail, $7-9 Parcel Post ($11 shipping gets you a priority flat rate with DC and anything that fits inside the box) International shipping (Canada): $12 flat fee for any postage under or equal to $12, actual cost for anything above that. Basically, buy more, cut down on shipping costs. Don't agree? DON'T BID. Simple.
FAQ:
Can I get more information about X?
Ask specific questions and I will give specific answers.
You didn't answer my question about X?
After your question is asked, look for my next post for an answer. In the event I did not answer your question, just ask again.
What is "Additional shipping will apply."?
The item is larger than what would fit inside of the usual bubble envelope and shipping will be more. Buy more, save on shipping!
Aw, why did you move it to Sunday?
Because a friend wanted tomorrow off and I was the only one available to take his shift. SORRY!!!
Why would you do this to my paycheck?!
Because. :lol:.

How the "Gold Box" Works:
I'm going to try to replicate Amazon's "Gold Box", on a smaller scale of course. Basically I will post one item which will bare a price. It is a price I have researched and found "fair" and below other online deals. It will include shipping to the continental United States. Once the current Gold Box item is sold out, or if too much time passes, I will replace it with another item. Trades toward the Gold Box item will be considered.

ItsMeMark's ing Awesome dv8mad Lowball Sale ◔ヮ◔ (Shipping for the Bear is $9,001 since he is big enough to crush your Xbox controller) Yes that is a different picture.
Auction Rules READ THEM:
1) Minimum bid $1. Increments of 50¢.
2) Shipping $4 for anything under 13 ounces via First Class. Odd sizes, larger items, and International, read FAQ. All items include delivery confirmation.
3) Payment must be non-CC Paypal or money order.
4) Rolling ending time is in effect, read FAQ.
5) Condition refers to the disc, other information is in the spoilers. All discs are working condition. Most cases do have shelf wear.
I'd like to ask the mods to create a thread icon for dv8. Everyone who agrees just add "Petition approved" to your bid/ reply and I'll add your name.
Reading everything else is optional but to your benefit.
FAQ:
“BA Style” Rules: One, I will post rare items and not afraid of anything. (Mantra of dv8 style auctions which is sometimes forgotten.) Two, goomba478’s rolling ending time will be in effect. Three, I will offer email alerts. Four, I will list shipping prices to the best of my ability, respond to all questions promptly, and post pictures when requested. (Overall be a good seller, CAGs are customers too.) Five, I will link to all other approved auctions.
What does BA mean?
“ing Badass”.
I believe that the seller has a duty to the buyer to be awesome in as many ways as possible and this style is built around that, including making an sensually clean post. This is also all an experiment for all future CAGs. If you like it, try it. To use the BA name, you MUST meet all of dv8’s rules AND rules one through five of BA style. Feel free to come up with your own but always credit dv8 and don’t say it's BA when it is not .
The Story.
I'm fairly new to CAG so I haven't met most of you. I plan on taking this opportunity to have some Bro time with everyone.
The starting time is actually pretty funny, I was going to do it on 3/29 but figured everyone would like a quadruple chain combo on Friday. I pitty the fool who misses out on 4 lowball auctions. It's going to be fun. And now it's five.
Other than that, my reasons are scattered, it's partially about the money, partially about the trend, partially about the ever shrinking space in my room, and partially about writing. I like to write and try to keep a daily blog here and selling has it's own style of writing so I wanted to play with. I also wanted to fix some of the problems with the dv8 style auctions I've seen and maybe experiment to create a "more standardized" or rather, consistent type of sale. I'm not a communist (unless the dictator was Yuki, I'd support that) however I do want to find a better way of everyone getting good deals. So experiment, alter, question, explore, and maybe one day you'll find the video game hidden in Microsoft Excel!
Rares?!
Yes, items of higher value which would go for more on eBay but are listed here, just because it’s BA.
Rolling ending time?
This is just pasta from goomba478’s thread. Skip if you know what a rolling ending time is. Names have been altered to protect the innocent.
Okay the sale ends on 3/27/09 (Friday). I will be doing is having a ROLLING ENDING TIME. This means that officially the sale ends at 8pm CST, but if any bids come in around that time they will be accepted. Then for each item that gets a bid around this time I will allow 10 minutes for that item to be rebid. To give you an example here you go:
dv8maid bids on Valkyria Chronicles PS3 at 7:59 PM for $4.00 goomba748 bids on Valkyria Chronicles PS3 at 8:01 PM for $6.00
at this point the item has 10 more minutes (going by the CAG time stamp) to get another bid in. This is more than enough time so I don't want to hear that "I was typing my bid and it didn't get in on time. If it doesn't make it within 10 minutes of the last bid it is disqualified. I will continue with my example:
gr9asianman bids on Valkyria Chronicles PS3 at 8:11 PM for $8.00
[again ten minutes are available for more bidding now since a new bid has come in]
Yunkie bids on Valkyria Chronicles PS3 at 12:22 AM for $60.00
Yunkie's bid does NOT count and is disqualified because it was more than 10 minutes since gr9asianman's bid. gr9asianman wins the auction. All bids above that are GREEN are Valid and all bids that are RED are disqualified.
This is a pretty standard thing now so you’ll want to include it in any kind of dv8 style auction but if you really want to stay true to BA style, alter the names for the people of CAG who you think are important. Inside jokes work too (Yunkie, lol.)
Email alerts?
You will be emailed on the final 24, 12, 3, 1 hour(s) and final 10, 5 minutes of the auction. DO NOT pm me your email, state it in the thread with the standard email[at]whatevermail[dot]com. I will add it to a list to be notified. You may request to be added to this list at any time. All notifications will be sent to everyone signed up since deleting one email takes less time than me picking and choosing. If doing a BA style dv8 lowball auction you must offer at least one alert but you can choose the time(s).
Free shipping?!
NOT. Yeah right! You. You. Cheap ass gamer!
Here are my shipping rates:
0-13 ounces (single game/ DVD/ manga) $4 via First Class
13+ ounces must be quoted but a good estimate, $5-7 media mail, $7-9 Parcel Post ($11 shipping gets you a priority flat rate with DC and anything that fits inside the box)
International will be EXTREMELY HIGH. I only ship to Canada and dv8 (he is a country now, deal with it). I have to stand in line to get all the papers so it will be at least $12.
Sorry my shipping rates suck because I don't like to go outside.(That's a joke.)
Huh? Secret early bidding bonus? "Lucky time"?
Lucky time was a huge failure. Apparently people don't read and hence, even with seller effort it fails. Hard.
If you're reading this the easy formula. Take the bid posted and take 10% off. The number you come up with is what you'll have to pay me. Look familiar? Yeah, that's the bid you placed. The larger number is to show others what they have to beat in order to overtake your bid.
Lucky time 5% is hereby null and void. It's too much of a hassle. Just bid what it's worth to you.
Link to other auctions?
To support the trend I feel that having a list of every auction is suitable. This can change, obviously a list of 20 auctions is not fun, but for now I think it's a good idea.
You did X and made me feel bad! You should feel bad too!
Yes, in the attempt to be funny, someone is bound to think something is not funny. If I have offended you in any way, don't get mad! Let me know what I did, how to fix it, and I will do it. Don't judge me from a poor joke unless that judgment is about making poor jokes.
Petition?
I'd like to ask the mods to create a thread icon for dv8. Everyone who agrees just add "Petition approved" to your bid/ reply and I'll add your name here. If this fails, no problem but a sub-subforum is a bad idea.

MUDKIP DISCOUNT!
You guys want MORE of a discount?! Change your avatar into a Mudkip and I’ll give you something later. It won’t be something rare or expensive and I have yet to decide what it will be but I want to see who's cool and who's not. Again you can try to cheat it but if I catch you, you get nothing so please don't. It’s probably not going to be something worth cheating for anyway. Plus it’s just your avatar and everyone loves Mudkips do it! DO IT!

^For those who do not understand, those are all the SAME TIME. I did the time conversions for you... :lol:
Guilty Gear Isuka (Mint) $23 [sum41rcks1]
Silent Hill 2 (Mint) $24 [sum41rcks1]
Red Ninja: End of Honor (Mint) $5[Shady3011]
Phantasy Star Universe (Near Mint) $1[sum41rcks1]
Playstation 2 Memory Card (Official Sony, Near Mint) $2[starmask2k3]
Rule of Rose (Atlus, Mint)
This game was weird in a scary sense... Imagine Peter Pan meets Silent Hill. Good job Atlus!
Condition only refers to the disc with "Mint" being none all the way until hard to see scratches. Cases and manual were not considered into the rating system since this is a lowball sale but their condition, if extreme or missing, is mentioned.
That is not Breath of Fire III.
May or may not have case inserts. Ask if that's a problem.
Gunbuster vs. Diebuster: Aim for the Top! GATTAI!! Limited Edition (Sealed)
This is not a thin pack, they are not compressed into one Blu ray. This is three blu rays in three cases in one sealed box. It is the official Region 1 (US) release and comes in Japanese 5.1 with English subtitles (no dubs, you would not want them anyway). I erased the price tag via Photoshop but this thing is expensive. THIS SHOW IS INTENSE. I have to say that again because once does not cut it INTENSE. GAINAX before Evangelion? Gunbuster. 'nuff said. I'll leave my fate to you CAG. Oh, shipping will be a bit more because I'm going to put it in a Nice Box.
Japanese Kadokawa Dragon Comics Jr. 10th anniversary. I think this is a special release(?). It is Mint, not suitable for children LOL Japan sort of thing.
I know a few of you looked at this. Well. It made its way into the auction. Bid what you deem is fair, I’ll ship it, you pay me actual shipping costs afterward, if you have good trader. I estimate anywhere from $15-20 shipping. Click on pictures to make them bigger. TONS of Details in Second Spoiler tag HERE:
Includes the Box, Manuals, Plastics, Papers, Warranty Card, Extra Parts Order Form, Gun, Controllers, Power Cable, an the system. MINT and Tested working!)
Box:
Note: System was removed from the box before I flipped it around to take pictures.
Inside the box:
Testing:
*PS3, controllers, keyboard, TV, power strip and table are not included or for sale. *
The light gun could not be tested due to the LCD screen but since everything else works fine, I see no reason why it would not work. Only one controller was tested.
Disclaimer:
Although I tested it working please note it is a 24 year old game console and has been in storage for a very long time. There were chemical reactions with the insulation plastic with the cords touching the Styrofoam. Here's an enhanced picture to show what I mean.
This should be readily visible with the pictures I took but just in case, look again. The plastic literally cut into the foam and there are some sticky chemicals I have not cleaned off for fear of causing any kind of damage. It is cosmetic but the buyer should address it ASAP. Also it is important to note that there is some kind of adhesive on the bottom of the "A/V" cable adapter. I have not removed that either but did attach a note card to prevent it from sticking to anything else.
Also note this is a Sega America refurbished system (as seen in the pictures). I have not in any way opened the console to make repairs, Sega has done all of that.
It will be sold as-is, shipped inside another box, additional padding will go inside and outside the console. What you see is what you get. I don't know what more I can write to show you the condition so just ask questions.
This is probably the best condition Master System CAG will see in a while so be nice. This item will not count toward Lucky Time.
I don't know if you saw the newest Yuki I added last night or not. I have made it through my closet. That's actually not the figure I was talking about... I actually forgot I had that one.
Anyway, the one I was talking about I have not listed because, well, wheen I took it out and looked at it, I had second thoughts about selling/trading it. I actually mentioned to my wife that maybe I should open it up and display it... She said I could if I wanted to. (>_

[quote name='dv8mad']s Still nothing?[/quote]
I was looking at the Yuki fig but... Now I'm thinking "I already have one". Then I looked at the Rei figs (which are really hot BTW) and I though... Yuki~ And I looked at the Xenosaga set and thought... Gah, I really cannot afford that. Then I looked at the Touch Witches... And I remembered I don't have a DS...
Your list confuses me in the best way possible... A part of me is waiting for you to roll out with a tank that I just have to get.
Holy I just found some really cool stuff. Will update list tomorrow because you guys will want to see this.
Sneak peak:
Sega Master System complete with box, manual, controller, light gun, plastics (selling or trading for a Wii only)
Silent Hill 2
ATLUS- Rule of Rose, Sky Gunner
Stay tuned~
Just tested the Master System. It runs like a champ. I really want to keep it but the collector value seems to be high and I need a Wii more.
Pictures will be posted tomorrow, I took tons of them. Includes two pre-programmed games, I tested the biking game and got my ass kicked. The light gun phaser game cannot be tested since I do not have a tube TV. That being said, everything else works perfectly so I have no idea why it would be broken. Also a side note, SEGA MASTER SYSTEM TRANSMITS ON A DIGITAL SIGNAL?!
My TV has two inputs for cable, digital and analog. I was bummed out when it would not show picture on the analog link even with the light on. Moved the cable to the digital input and Bam! GLORIOUS 8-bit in 720p upscale!!!
This is probably the best condition Master System CAG will see on sale/ trade for a while so be nice.

Prefer to sell/ trade for more expensive wants
