Selling a big lot from my collection

I don't actually have "Treasure of the Bat Cave" archived in GB20, so that needs backing up in some way

I'm interested in the following tape games:

The 6 pak
AutoTerm 20/64
Backfire
LCM Machine
Numbowl
Ruler Dueler
Sector Five
Super Seekers
Vic Term I

Do you have any picture(s) of the tape games?

I'll take pics today. It seems unlikely that anyone will want the whole lot, but i can't really mail them individually, so I may split it into two or thee lots.

I thought I saw it on Arma's or funet, but now I can't find it. Strange because I'm sure I've loaded it to an emulator before. I'll try to copy it.

Sorry I don't have a better camera. I managed to stuff the whole thing in one box (almost 20 pounds in weight!) So, I think I may just throw the whole thing up on eBay.

31 carts
41 boxes
37 tapes
3 magazines
countless manuals

The highest offer I have in $100, but I'm not really good at appraising things. I'm not sure what it might fetch.

Box and Cart.................... Amok (cart, manual, box)

Ah, screw it. I feel like enjoying the thrill of an auction. Starts at 50 bucks.

Wait for the snipers

I have an eerie feeling that the shipping is going to make this auction cost me more than it makes.

eBay screwed me on shipping! The calculator said $42 for shipping but the only added $15 to the price. The buyer already paid. There's no way I can ship this for that price! What should I do???

Yeah there are limits to how much you can impose on shipping unless you specify separate courier fields I believe. You could contact the buyer nicely and say that eBay stiffed you on the shipping, see if they will pay more. If not, sadly you're SOOL.

You could also try a less honest approach and issue a refund along with a message saying the item(s) were damaged in an accident. I've had plenty of sellers come to me with such stories before, usually when an item didn't fetch as much as they would have liked.

As long as you give the money back, you shouldn't get any complaints.

Also, many sellers state that the shipping will be more than eBay says and if the bidder has a problem with that he/she shouldn't bid. It might be worth thinking about that next time you have an item of this size.

But you have written the shipping cost in the description.

Jeff it clearly states in your description the shipping costs, youre owed some money mate

Or he could do the honorable thing and discuss it with the purchaser (me) and open communication with him (me).

It's funny what a small world this is... Right?

P.S. I sent him an email requesting an additional invoice. javascript:emoticon(':D')
