My pleasure. :)

If we don't police ourselves this thread will become useless - everyone should have the tools to keep scammers in check.

Very helpful friend, thanks for the advice.

Looking to Buy:

Breath of Fire Dragon Quarter. $12 shipped?

A good rule of thumb is to check people's feedback prior to buying. Even though sitewide search is disabled, you can use the following search in Google:

site:neogaf.com buy/trade/sell nameofpersontosearch

That will return all instances of that person posting or being mentioned in this thread.

Thanks

Depending on how often the person posts, that can generate a lot of not-very-useful results. I find using site:neogaf.com feedback *NAME* to be more useful, usually. But yeah, it's definitely a good idea to check first before dealing with people.

It's not me buying the games, man. I'm not screwing you out of this. A Japanese game collector who isn't approved on GAF wanted me to make a sale topic, or ask what people have since he wants some JP games, that's it..

Never mentioning the money he owns me, of course.
I am now subscribed to the thread, so whenever he replies I will make sure to warn people so they can avoid being ripped.

Is something like that even allowed?? The whole point of having people work to get into the site is to prevent fly-by-night dudes having no accountability, isn't it?

Posting a For Sale or WTB for someone that's not registered seems mighty sketchy to me.

I decided I can't resist anymore and want to pick up a DSiXL. So my lack of control is your bargain!

I am looking to sell my blue DSi, complete in box, for $150 shipped.

Basically you are getting 11000 Points ($110.00) worth of software for free!

This baby is loaded with hours and hours of fun, plus there is no dead pixels to worry about.

Don't delay - order today!

*I would also be willing to outright trade along with say $20 paypal for a DSiXL (bronze). I am also willing to entertain reasonable offers.

Still looking to get rid of this. I can provide pics if you request them.

I have decided in my quest for my new macbook pro, I am getting rid of our extra PS3 slim 120GB. It hasn't been used much, just to play some battlefield and socom with my girlfriend. We will be including Battlefield BC2, and Socom with it for $300.00 shipped, and that is including all the cords, (if you want an hdmi cable or composite just ask) a Dual Shock 3 (Black) All the original box and instructions. It still has a warranty on it for a while (I think about 6 months left or more) through sony. Will ship with free confirmation and insured up to 300 dollars, so you will have peace of mind :)

I never had a problem, and you wont either! If you would like me to include god of war 3, I will include it with the PS3 for an additional $30.00.

ONLY looking for paypal. Will only accept as "gift" payment, or if you pay all fees. I have plenty of feedback on here and have had 100% successful transactions on here and ebay :)


I am also selling my extra (white) Wii system. It has over $500 dollars worth of virtual console games on it, and I will ship with all original cords and a nunchuck/controller. I will admit it has had a few black screen "please turn off wii" error codes (about 6), but if you turn it off and back on, it works flawlessly. Never have had a disc read error. It also has the original box that came with it. If you hop online the VC games will be okay, but as soon as you log into the wii shop channel, they may be unusable (because I got them transferred to my new black one :D). Am looking for $250.00 for this thing shipped, because of the amount of VC games I will send with it. I will ship with free insurance on this item as well, so if you receive it damaged at all or for some reason it gets lost, you will be protected!

Virtual Console Games Video


Also have some random stuff to still sell:
MEGA MAN IS GONE! :D
Tetris Party DS: 22.50 shipped
Pokewalker: $10.00 shipped
Silent Hill Homecoming: $25.00 shipped
Mario and Luigi: $25.00 shipped
IMG_0883.jpg


If you want me to take more pictures, or video, just ask. I have plenty of photos available. First come first serve. I will take offers as well! PM with offers, but the PS3 @ 300 is pretty much what I am looking for with the high shipping charges im willing to pay.

THANKS! :D

Just throwing a thought out there, but we could possibly make a trader blacklist, host it online and tie it into a greasemonkey script that negatively colours those users posts in this thread and throws in the explanation why. Hell, we could do the opposite too, positively colouring users posts who have good feedback. That way we can have our feedback system "tied" into gaf via greasemonkey.

Ebay profile = Jakubp12. I've bought from Babyhemi before and sold a PSPgo on Neogaf under the same profile (asdad123)

8) [Additional comments about the item] (Reason of sale, Warranty information, etc.)

Recently, I've come into unforeseen medical expenses and am in need of some quick money so that is the reason for the sale of all these items. I would love to keep them, but unfortunately I can't. All these items were adult owned and taken care of. All come with original boxing except the T9600. I will be willing to negotiate prices but please don't lowball.

Also selling my Asus G51VX-RX05 laptop. I ordered a new Envy 14 and have no more use for this one.
Its specs are:
P7350 2.0Ghz CPU
1gb GTX 260m
4gb memory
320gb HDD
1366x768 screen.
I bought it a little over a year ago and tried to take good care of it. Come with Windows Vista Home Premium 64 bit installed. Played any game I threw at it, even Crysis, with great FPS.
It has holes drilled in its backplate, copper inserted (Forge's mod on Notebookreview), and replaced the thermal paste to lower temps. The warranty sticker IS broken as I replaced the thermal paste.
The SN on the sticker rubbed off from the underside but it is visible on its box. Comes with the original discs/manuals/box.
There is one problem, the NumLk and Pgup buttons dont work, but you could buy a new keyboard for $20 and replace it.

Im looking for $550 shipped within the US, but I am willing to negotiate.

I've got a pre-recall copy of LittleBigPlanet, y'know, before they recalled them all because of that one song on it with the naughty talk on it. It's pretty damn rare.

PM me for offers.
 
Kind of gauging interest in an 80GB Back Compat PS3. It was the MGS4 one (without MGS4), but has hardly been played. I'm mainly a 360 player. I upgraded the hard drive to 160 for media stuff that I never actually really used.

The big thing is that I'm not sure what they go for. Around $200 maybe?

I recall someone creating some program that would keep track of feedback. Unsure what the status is on it though.

Wow. Really that much? Thanks.

Maybe I'll take some pictures of it and sell it. I'll probably make the pictures huge and post it twice a page on here to be sure. You can never have too many pictures. Or posts.

Especially if its unused and has an extra hard drive, why the hell not? Its better than a slim and its got extra stuff, I dont see why you couldnt get full price for it. So many people bitch and clamor for the BC as well, let alone the card slots and extra usb hookups x y z

Then I'm selling it. It's got a little dust, but I can clear that out. Thanks for the help.

Nope, made a big mistake and sent is as a gift to try to be nice and have him get the full value. I definitely recommend not to do this, will never repeat this mistake.
At least I have his picture, info and full address. I am trying to get informed on fraud charges or anything related so I can hopefully get some compensation.


Thankfully a fellow member warned me after he posted. What pisses me off the most is the nerve of him to ignore my messages and post in here like nothing has ever happened. A scum of the worst kind.
Post the loser's info. Picture and all.

If you have a Best Buy nearby, try to look though there dump table of $15 games, most stores got 1 or 2 copies of DQ5 prepriced at $15 to put in there back at easter.

Sadly the Best Buy near me never seemed to get it back in stock.

Just a fair warning to anybody selling digital items (such as Xbox live codes or accounts) through Paypal. Do not send these items through email, you have to ship them and keep a tracking number. I know that it costs additional money, but in the end you save yourself from getting ripped off.

I recently sold a couple of Gears of War DLC items, and one of the persons requested that I send it through email even though I had the code card and was willing to pay the couple bucks that it cost to send it. So I got my money, sent the code, and then a couple of weeks later they opened up a dispute saying that they never received their item. I contacted paypal sent screenshots from my desktop showing the emails I had sent to the guy, as well as the emails that showed him thanking me for the code, etc. I checked the code as well to see if it was used which it was.

At this point I was pissed off, and contacted paypal again but they had given the guy his money back. Apparently paypal will not protect digital transactions, since they have no means of tracking if this stuff is valid or not. They can only protect you through physical items with tracking numbers or shipping information.

So to make a long story short the guy got his money back, the Gears DLC, and I would have been totally ripped off but I paypal gave me my money back for being such a long term customer.

It's a huge loophole in their system, and the best the answer to what they are doing about it is, "You have morals, right? " <- actual quote from one of their service reps. So be very careful about selling digital items, because you have very little protection through paypal.

Not to hijack the thread, but a similar thing happened to me once when selling a Doc Louis Punch Out code. I sent the code and the guy said he got it, but the he said it didn't work. Since it was sold through eBay, they ended up covering the cost of the auction because I had been a long time member. Was still BS and taught me to not to sell digital goods again.

So, did you leave negative for the person? I think we would all appreciate the heads up on the person. Sorry to hear that and thank you for the warning.

If I recall correctly, someone had attempted a BUY/SELL thread specifically for FEEDBACK only. I remember being one of the few people willing to use it. Most people had only "lulz" as a reply to the idea. The thread did not last long.
Maybe it's time to bring it back.

Biggest problem is that most of them were unreported until one started a chain reaction and they finally came forward to let others know.

If someone rips you off it should not be reported weeks later as the person might get a chance to rip others off. Worse of all it allows them to go unpunished. Please post and if you can link to the post of the sale so we are aware of the person.
 
More stuff for sale! Unless otherwise noted all items are mint. If anything interests you or if you'd like more info, please send a PM.

It is true.
I am sure most people want to be nice and give the benefit of the doubt, but if someone is taking longer than normal without communication it is honestly your responsibility to post feedback in here so that other people will know.
You can always take it back or update if things get squared away.
Otherwise people leave it open for others to get screwed.

This was specifically on Ebay, but since many of you here use paypal and I've seen digital items for sale it applies. I would say even more so here due to the fact that Ebay has some protections (investigations) in place for this.

The crazy part about the whole thing is that the transaction was complete I had received my money, sent him the code, got confirmation email that he received it, left positive feedback, and then two weeks later got this dispute. Then I got an email from paypal saying that I had a dispute and a negative balance in my paypal. It was such that I couldn't even leave negative feedback on him on Ebay. So if your selling digital goods be careful. If you buying them and are dishonest you can get them for free :lol

I lurk in this thread quite a bit and wouldn't mind seeing a feedback system in place.
