What Made you Smile/What Ticked you off Today?

Just killed it in Vegas.

And here I was thinking after your last post that you meant the toilet.

The two don't have to be mutually exclusive. Perhaps he was so VIP that they brought him a portable john so he didn't have to leave the table.

They treat the high rollers properly.

They just have the Poh-leece escort me out. I guess I'm not rolling high enough.

You're confusing the high rollers with the HIGH rollers.

Actually, I wasn't.

Why do you think they have that big buffet?

Anyway, say no to drugs! Just hope they listen.

I post on ebay a $10 ($13 bin) for a CIB Pit Fighter Genesis of all things, someone snaps it up overnight and pays.

Then I get this special note.

Note to seller
Hi, I purchased this Collectible from you ONLY because its in Amazing conditions. Please wrap the Game in bubbles and use a sturdy box for packaging to ensure that it arrives in the conditions shown on your pictures. Thank You for your time and have a Good Night.


Seriously?! Collectible? And you want me to eat the cost of a box and added shipping weight to protect Pit Fighter?? NO. I wrote them back they can pay more for a larger box as I don't have one, a priority mail small flat rate box, or they can just get it in the bubble bag I wrote right on the auction it would ship in. It's Pit Fighter, not MUSHA. Grr...

I was tempted to just ignore the comment and send it, man I don't like uptight collectors.

Genesis clamshells are pretty sturdy anyway, and bubble mailers are better padded than people give them credit for. You really don't need more than that for a CIB Genesis game, especially one as common as Pit Fighter...

[mjmjr25]

Monetary value does not equate to whether or not something is collectible or not.

A small box weighs 2-3 oz - which would cost you an additional $0.38-0.60 to ship it properly compared to a bubble mailer. A clamshell, longbox, or similar game SHOULD be shipped in a box.

Boo, bad buyer! You want it to arrive in the condition it left in? Boo!

You did the right thing. I remember selling an N64 game a few years ago to a guy in Spain. Disappointingly it went only for the starting bid so he snatched a real bargain even though it was a common game because I always keep games I own pristine. He also made ridiculous demands about hard cardboard boxes...he wasn't prepared to pay extra for one which would have meant I actually ate a loss. He got bubble wrap.

The entitlement of buyers is sometimes so great they forget we aren't selling for charity! Pit Fighter though, haha. He probably expects to make a killing by relisting it as "r@re!!!"

[Jmustang1968]

Having stuff shipped in boxes or with some cardboard protection isnt an unreasonable request. I have had cib GBA games, big box PC game, and Saturn games shipped in bubble mailers. You can guess how well they faired.

Gen games are a bit sturdier. But you can still ruin the snap closing action of the case if it gets crushed. They will usually survive in a bubble mailer.
