http://myworld.ebay.ie/rickf68?ssPageName=ADME:X:RTQ:IE:1181

so i asked him invoice me for 5 sets aka 125 dollars plus the p&p

so i get the inovice and two of the sets are priced 35 he changed the price on two of them for some reason and sent it to me

No sympathy at all. If you really want the badges you should be out there challenging the Gym Leaders.

Thinly veiled "I can afford to piss away $125 on pokemon badges, out of all the things going" thread

ITS_A_BADGER

buy them and give negetive/truthful feedback??

God, I miss being 12

Whats the matter? building a virginity shield and the last Pokemon badges are the key?

Tell him to shove them up his hole.

You can BUY the badges now?! No wonder the league has gone to the dogs. When I was young you were booted out the door by your mom on your 10th birthday to wander the country, fighting to earn your badges and a place in the league. If you were very lucky you befriended a chick in teeny shorts and a guy with the narrowest eyes possible to help you out and take you to the ER when you got pneumonia.

And now you can buy badges?! You disgust me OP.

ZOMG he has a Charizard card for sale too! Iv always wanted one!

Open a dispute with ebay. He will have to sell at listed price.

Leave terrible feedback.

Fratton Fred

He has a point though.

Can someone tell me what the fuck Pokemon is? I see it all over the internet and they seem to be huge, or at least they were, and have no idea what they are? Is a game, cards you collect, a cartoon, or what?

RobbingBandit

Hey, didn't the bank just pay out for you, pay the bill mister millionaire:D

I thought a seller on Ebay had died..

Was NOT expecting Pokemon.

Wing126

If you haven't bought them off that guy get them here http://sanshee.com/
It'll be about 100 euro shipping included. One set is out of stock though.

Ha ha I was expecting the exact same. The title of the thread got me thinking in my head "ow what happens when the seller dies. How did the buyer find out they were dead"

Op,
Knowing the guy is a dick now. Can you really be sure that what you want is legit? Alot of fake pokemon merch out there.

You have to be really really careful on ebay where fakes are concerned. In particular the collectibles section is chock full of fakes, as are the watches and antiquities/antiques sections. Feedback is an indicator, but don't rely on it. I've seen complete scam artists get near 100% feedback with 100's of sales to their name. People either know feck all or they're slightly ashamed to find they've been scammed. Mostly they know feck all.

Too true.
I actually was just reading a few articles about fake pokemon merch. So many plush toys and trading cards are fake ... seeing as how popular pokemon is.


have to say tho, a quick way to make a dishonest buck.

To add insult to injury, the OP will have to pay the higher rate of Desperate Nerd VAT, which I believe is 5000%.

If you're over the age of 8 and buying Pokemon stuff on the internet you deserve to be ripped off tbh.

El Guapo!

No offence or anything but what adult buys Pokemon??
It's like that whole Brony thing. Each to their own and all that but it just freaks me out.

HowAreWe

I just don't get how people( well grown men...obviously its fine for 8 year olds) can waste so much money on such ****e

Much the same reason as why I collect vintage bottles I'd imagine. People collect all sorts of stuff that others would see as being pointless and stupid.

A mate of mine has an entire room of his house covered with beermats and he rarely even drinks.. Another has an attic filled with virtually every Airfix model plane produced in the 70's & 80's and would never dream of letting his kids play with them. Once you start collecting particular items it can become a bit of an obsession.

True enough. I just think its the fact that it's kids stuff that makes me find it a bit weird.

recently ive turned away from ebay as sellers are always wanting a bigger cut,its supposed to be a bargain auction house,and its anything but!best decision i made was turning away from ebay and paypal the fees even for sellers are extortionate..not worth doing business there,you know what you should try...ioffer.com far FAR cheaper,or done deal.ie or madbid.com

I ordered some car parts from a guy in England a few years ago, for about €30, and he gave me details of a PayPal account to transfer the money into, which I did.

I never did get the parts, and then found out that the PayPal account was linked to an Ebay a/c where some woman in Portsmouth was selling downloadable naked pictures of herself and her naked female friend.

So basically, I paid for some wanker to get down and dirty with his hand, and my name is mud for buying porn, even though I never downloaded any of it.:(

Once you have clicked to agree with paying the listed value. It's binding in terms that (A) that you actually purchase said product and (B) that he sells for the listed price at time of sale.

If these PM's were were on E-Bay report him. They will liaise with him and have the products shipped for the initial price agreed.

Gotta love the irony of people posting on a forum calling other people nerds.

OP - report the seller for being an arsehole.

You're either really young or really old!

What would you say to these adults! :pac:

Allyall

It's not too bad, as i don't think kids are into Pokemon anymore, I think it's just the original generation who still collect them..

However THESE were made as a toy, for children, and my Nephew loved them. They shot up in price from €3.50 to €20 because of adult collecters. :mad:

To make matters worse, they don't even take them out of the feckin packet. They put them in a box or on a shelf... IN THE PACKET!

Needless to say, My nephew stopped getting them when they shot up in price.

lads i like to collect pokemon pins there pins ffs lol
