Ebay PSA's...

[Roy]

Wow he musta just done that cause I just looked... the high shipping/low price thing thing isnt unusual on ebay.

This clown is screwing people. All these 4 disc listing have shipping set at $48.50! A bunch have bids and i bet the bidders didnt see the shipping. no way people will pay 60 or more dollars for 4 crappy discs! ridiculous.

Is this a typo or a joke or something??

He must've changed it because it says $9.50 for me.

Thats wierd, it still says 48.80 for shipping on the discs when i look at it.

 

[Roy]

I see $9.50, maybe you have it cached?

 

[NOHalffastpull1]

I get $36.25 for his 4 disc lots, appears to be based upon ZIP code.
Is he just trying to avoid the FEEBay costs by jacking up the shipping?

People are still bidding on his stuff. Go figure.

Hi everyone,

This is my first post, but i have been a lurker "guest" on these boards for a while now. I have received a lot of great information and had more than a few good laughs here. I hail from Madison WI and i have been discing for close to 10 years now. i have played a few leagues but have not tried any tournaments yet.

Anyway since I have a few things up on ebay currently I thought now was as good a time as any to start posting. Just got married and my house is suddenly a lot smaller so it is time to let some things go.

Here is what I have up right now..

http://cgi.ebay.com/Vintage-collect...CE-Innova-/180546471527?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0

and I suppose since this thread has become more a discussion about outlandish ebay prices i will give my 2 cents; i don't know if anyone throws classic rocs but they are my bread and butter, and the prices for the out of production champion ones have gone bonkers recently on ebay. kinda sucks since i throw them, but kinda doesn't because i stockpiled a bunch when they first went oop.

Anyway this is a great forum and I'm looking forward to future discussions/rants/hilarity

I notice you have "CE" in your star destroyer listing.

 

[dcneal]

It drives traffic... :wink:
not trying to misrepresent it, just trying to get it into as many search results as possible.

 

[booter]

not trying to mis represent eh? That's exactly what ur doing.

 

[riverboy1]

A troll trolling the eBay thread with misrepresented items. Sounds successful.

 

[Frank Delicious]

I also notice FLX is in an all gateway/quest listing. That can't drive traffic can it?

dcneal... unfortunately this thread was created to show what not to do on ebay.... so unless you want your auctions to be nit-picked you probably shouldn't post them in this thread.

I'll give you an example... check out this sweet 1st run katana :roll: http://cgi.ebay.com/New-1st-Run-Champion-Katana-CFR-Disc-Golf-175g-L-K-/200507064447?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0

ok then, thanks for the warm welcome. i can see i have picked the wrong group of nerds to match wits with. :mrgreen:

...and that as a sweet katana. so the example is the fact you posted it here and said check it out or was the katana misrepresented in some way?

is there an appropriate thread for spreading the word about a listing you think others might be interested in?
Thanks again

 

[Frank Delicious]

hey I was civil!

Any posts about trying to sell discs need to go in buy/sell/trade.

 

[dcneal]

not really. no nope

Yeah, this is not a first run.

is there an appropriate thread for spreading the word about a listing you think others might be interested in?
Thanks again

Best to use the buy/sell/trade forum (a little lower on the index page)

true, my bad.
i have no idea if flx drives traffic but some of those discs were gateway flex plastic and i was covering my bases i guess.
and thank you for the tip.

 

[Frank Delicious]

Yeah that is not a first run katana.
