Ebay shipping scam - GoFuckYourself.com

Jace · 06-10-2004, 05:01 PM

god I love ebay....$1.99 for this case

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=3485314 043

$40 to ship it

haha

how many people get suckered into buy it now, then realize what shipping is later

xuron · 06-10-2004, 05:04 PM

check the case weight. sometimes those cases are heavy and shipping charges rack up using ups/fedex or did I just fall for it?

Theo · 06-10-2004, 05:04 PM

bastards

06-10-2004, 05:05 PM

dude that's a fantastic deal since they even include the 420W PSU + Led fans

twistyneck · 06-10-2004, 05:06 PM

The auction terms are pretty clear and nobody really expects to get a case for $1.99 so I don't see any problem with it.

oh, i know, i still think it is funny the way they do it....but if I sold them I would do it the same way...entice them in with the price

Depends on the PSU brand. A lot of companies lie about the wattage.

The Truth Hurts · 06-10-2004, 05:12 PM

i used to have one of those lian li all aluminum cases.

it sucked, and looks silly with manilla drives jammed in it.

yeah, but they are cheap enough to not have to worry abotu buying a new one

TonyL · 06-10-2004, 05:14 PM

Guy has over 6,000 in feedback. Over 95% positive. Not likely he is doing anything shady.

Lian Li cases are quality.

Anyone that says otherwise is a Dell n00b.

I got tired of building my own/having customs built and sold/traded them off... last one was a dual p3.. so it's been a while.

I'm down to 2 PC's now, and they're both in the vaio cases they came in. : )

this is almost identical case you posted...

only difference is mine had a rounded window.

NoCarrier · 06-10-2004, 05:30 PM

Who needs to see inside the case anyway? I never understood the concept of showing off computer parts when the god damn desktop is on the floor or hidden under the desk.

when it was complete, i had a blue tube in mine... so it doubled as a nightlight : )

hottoddy · 06-10-2004, 05:34 PM

The only thing that really matters to the buyer is the final price. If the total (including shipping) is fair, than so what? As long as it's fully disclosed in the auction.

Buyers inflate the shipping price as a way to deflect eBay fees - as there's none on shipping. Many sellers charge tiny prices but make it up in shipping.

i got a fat illuminated keyboard too for it that matches the neon

nice, i didn't even think about that.....way to get creative

Jer · 06-10-2004, 05:41 PM

Cases are so fucking cheap on eBay that it hurts. Here in Brazil we don't have many options and they're expensive. I just ordered a simple case without PSU and fans for about $80 with shipping included.

The Truth Hurts · 06-10-2004, 05:42 PM

I got charged $6.95 for shipping (with insurance) a single $9 DVD.

today... 36 days later the DVD came (from nashville to massachusetts) in an envelope with $0.49 worth of postage printed on it.

riosluts · 06-10-2004, 05:42 PM

Yeah thats why I always email the seller how much cost to ship it because I dont wanna pay $40 to ship a pen. Some people say $5.00 is the shipping but the handling and driving to the post office is an extra $15.00

I barely use CDs. I like this case because if I buy something that has a small difference in color it'll be covered. I prefer white cases too, most of today's cases are black or silver

I don't like the transparency too.

i just bought black devices a while ago for this purpose...

i love building new machines, so fun and so many options

Jer · 06-10-2004, 05:54 PM

I don't like neon too. I just wanna work on the computer.

I like the Dell cases... I would buy one if they sold them

well, the neon is for this machine, and it will be in the center of my living room, so it has to have sdome sort of design quality that blends in with the rest of the place...
