I don't have an account.

I'm also trying to buy it, within Texas(to save a few dollars).

I think I'm going to have to buy it online though. :-\

Why don't you have an account? eBay's a great place for buying old out-of-print computer games.

It's a personality problem I have.

Ebay=bidding

bidding=me going on a spending spree

Any more questions? XD

Jeysie

Hee. Fair enough, although unfortunately I don't know of a better place for buying old things easily.

Peace & Luv, Liz

I'll think about it. :-\

P.S. This section of the thread, is going to be split in a couple of days, so feel free to talk about Ebay.

Jeysie

eBay rules! !!! I've gotten at least half of my computer games on eBay, plus many out-of-print videos, books, and comics.

Peace & Luv, Liz

IIRC, an eBay thread already exists in this forum somewhere.  You could merge them with that!  :D

True. But I've only gotten ripped off once in 35 auctions, and that was only because I took a chance on a new seller with no feedback yet. If you stick to people with lots of positive feedback (and read any negative feedback to see if it's worth worrying about or not), then you're unlikely to have any problems. Sellers who have been around a while will bend over backwards to help you because they want good feedback. :)

Thanks for telling me. :)

To stay on-topic in an off-topic conversation....

I can't afford to save that much money on Ebay! XD

I very rarely bid as those nasty nasty bid snipers who sneak in with 1 min to go always out bid me  >:(  So instead i just rely on the buy it now options adn also the secondhand market on amazon is really quite good plus you get the extra cover of a cmpany who actually responds to customer complaints :/

My worst rip off case was from a guy selling a gamecube when it was pretty new with 5 games and a few controllers for 350 quid. Payed for it and the package didnt arrive so it took me 5 months of threatening this git to get my money back. Ebay did not once contact him despite 4 complaints filed by me. Waste of space having a customer support service if they dont even respond when people are being ripped off  

:furious:

BUT apart from that I've NEVER had a problem buying stuff. Designer handbags, sunglasses and clothes for bargain prices and many games and old albums that I can never normally find :)

I love ebay, but I hardly ever use it.  When I do get to use it, I always say "I'll spend up to this much" and put that as my max bid.  But I also hate it when those people jump in at the last minute...even when you're watching the bid.  You get down to ten seconds and are like "I got it!"...refresh the page...and all of a sudden, someone outbid you!  How do they do that??  If I try to, I never refresh and jump in in time!

If you have an eBay account, don't want to futz with bidding, and have a credit card, you can use half.com. I might look into that for some things now that I have a credit card.
