Shocking Ebay Prices

[gingerj]

I was just thinking for fun and reference, shocking ebay auctions that make you shudder at the prices people seem to put on some titles.

I'll start the ball rolling:

That seller is a dickhead.

His feedback is dodgy aswell-loads 'mutually withdrawn'..

Chrono Trigger

That Chrono Trigger is a joke not only is it a reseal, but you can clearly see tears to the front of the box on the left side.

These retro ebay sellers offer their wares at ridiculous prices- and I guess quite a few people pay-up. God knows what drives people to pay extortinate prices- must be mental illness!

Most of the people who only use ebay to buy retro games dont know the real value of the games they buy, which is why things like this happen and which is why i never have and never will use ebay, well one of many reasons.

Well I?ve got to agree with you there, I just tend to source my games (retro) from any where other than ebay. If it?s not one thing ?extortion it postage costs? it?s the other misleading and none accurate descriptions ?great condition? when the box is held together by a combination of sticky tape and spit. Also how or when can something that is not complete can be described as being ?mint?.

But one thing that has come to my notice is how come certain ebay users i.e power sellers seem to be immune to any of ebays policies or laws that govern every other ebay user. The ****ers just seem to get away with murder just because of the revenue they bring in for ebay and never seem to be brought to book. They (ebay) seem to go after the little guy often banning them cause their user name sounds familiar ( as if to show they are policing their site and are really on their game) even though in a lot of case?s they have done nothing wrong and suspended them usually never to be reinstated. While on the other hand mr power seller can continue to **** over other users over and can continue to flog their over priced tat by virtue of the amount of items he?s got up for auction at any one time.

Basically the people who run ebay are in my opinion are just greedy bastards who basically don?t give a **** about most of their user?s other than the fact they are cash cows ready to be milked.
