Unfortunately that seems like a pretty common thing to find on ebay. I don't know why they list things as mint when the pics obviously show otherwise.

Because:
a. they don't really know what mint means.. b. they just want to attract people looking for mint items c. they're just scammers

Seems to be a popular trend now. I guess people are trying to find ways to avoid having to pay ebay's Final Value fees.... AC

Only 1£ that was cheap I wonder if the game was lost in the post, will the buyer then only get 1£ refund ? amazing that buyers do this kind of deals...

I suppose you can trust someone to make such a deal only if you've dealt with him before (several times). Otherwise it's a huge risk and frankly I can't see a reason any buyer should agree to this - he has nothing to gain out of this.

Look no further than the seller himself to roll your eyes at this one. Paschi aka "all my games are MIMB - even the loose ones" Christou has done this quite a bit. I guess if ebay continues to allow it, all the power to the people that do it. It lowers their Final Value costs to ebay, and, I guess the biggest plus for the buyer is, since the game only sold for 1 pound, the buyer would never have to pay Customs/Duty on the game. LOL! Oh, while we're on the topic of loser sellers, that chick (roundboobsdorothy) who stole pics from JWTW's auctions, as well as other people's auctions, and sold a bunch of "low supply/high demand" games for great prices, is no longer a registered user on ebay.

Well, that's good news! Is it because she didn't have the items for sale, is it because buyers filed for "item not as described" or because you/Jon/whoever reported her auctions to Ebay?

Hey this guy charges only $119 for shipping, what a deal! lol! cgi.ebay.com/Nintendo-Game-Watch-Popeye-Panorama-Screen-PG-92-Rare-/170579362463?pt=US_Vintage_Video_Games&hash=item27b752829fMichael[/quote There has been a person on ebay U.S. for the past 5 months trying to sell a boxed Mickey widescreen game to no avail. Firstly the shipping costs were $180 and he emphasised in the terms and conditions please don't ask about shipping costs as they are correct and response will not be made for any enquiries about the shipping costs! Suffice to say he has brought down his postage costs (currently at around $80 or there abouts. The amount of money that has been spent on listing fees, I don't know if he will recuperate the costs thus far!
