Fun with ebay *sigh*

[Terry]

Ok a little background...

Seller has listed a big pannie with a start price of 99cents, He listed it without the usual search terms in the title, and some shitty pictures I made an offer, I'm "flockton77". Enjoy the punchline near the end.

Dear allaboutfun201011,

Hi there, would you consider a BIN for this radio player, and could you Post it? Happy to pay for packaging and postage.

Thanks,

Brian

Dear allaboutfun201011,

Hi thanks for your answer, I'd go to $40.00 plus post and packaging, I note you mention in the title it has twin cassette, but I can't see where the second cassette goes, it it behind the first door?

Thanks,

Brian

Dear flockton77,

i will let it run

Note at this point I opened the bidding at 99 cents, a few hours later I got this message.

#####################################

Dear flockton77,

I didn't say I would post on my listing

Dear allaboutfun201011,

I'm not sure what you mean, you said you would let it run so I bid 40 bucks, which is my top price.

Also you didn't answer my question about the twin cassette decks, does it have 2 decks or 1?

#####################################

Dear flockton77,

yes you are right it does have one deck .you wanted a buy now price it may have been worth it to post but if it goes for five dollors or something im not posting its very heavy and its not worth the effort thats why i have pick up only on my listing

Dear allaboutfun201011,

Well mate, you had your chance at 40 bucks plus postage and turned it down, it's your loss if it sells for cheaper, if you don't want to post it please cancel my bid immediately.

Dear flockton77,

does that mean you will pay 40 for the item and pay postage as well

So here I am wondering what I am dealing with...... so I answered......

###################################


Yes, that is what I meant all along.

Ok heres my deal, I pay you $40.00 plus $35.00 for postage and packing, however I expect the radio to be wrapped in SIX layers of bubble wrap and then boxed. If you can do this I will pay you tonight with PayPal.

Do we have a deal?

Brian

Thanks Mr Cheerful.



But yeah, the seller can't buy a clue it seems. Still I've gambled more in the slots, it might work out, you never know.

 

[redbenjoe]

agree --that part of the fun in this hobby --is the gamble

LOL - hope you get it

He's just sent me the invoice, so as soon as I pump the cash into his PayPal we're all good.

 

[redbenjoe]

this could be the best 99 cents ever spent by a human person

Haha the invoice reads 99 cents plus $74.00 postage.

Ok question for you experts, what model Pannie is it, the photo is just too crap for me to tell.

 

[redbenjoe]

i think ?? its a 5600 -
never had one - not sure

----
maybe even a vinix

 

[Lasonic TRC-920]

WOW, this seller really "F'd up".

Good for you bro!

I will say, just from their spelling skills, you could still be in trouble:

"NOW THIS STEREO TURNS ON THE TAPE DECKES FUNTION BUT I CANT GET ANY SOUND COULD BE JUST A MINER THING I DONT KNOW OTHER WISE IN GREAT CONDITON"

 

[jaetee]

Yup, RX-5600... beautiful souding box at low and mid volume...

G'luck!

Standard Aussie Bogan (redneck) there Chris.

I always knew I was taking a chance, but if Gluecifer hadn't egged me on it would still be on ebay......
