[SWCollect] ultima 1 sealed on ebay
Hey all, http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItemitem=3062902605category=11050 Intresting, butany chance this is a fake? Brad
Re: [SWCollect] ultima 1 sealed on ebay
I didn't really think it was fake, I was just entertaining the posibility. Because of it's popularity, the Ultima series hasfallen victim to somefaked items on ebay in the past; this one looks fine to me, was just double-checking with the knowledgable to see if perhaps someone sees something about the auction that I don't.

Re: [SWCollect] Good alternative to paypal for sellers
On Paypal: I wouldn't even consider someone who ISNT verified. That's why they have a verification process. :) You are taking your own risks otherwise. Really, Paypal gets such a bad rap, all because oftwo things - people who rip people off, and people who say how much the who operation sucks if it happens to happen to them. I've been a paypal member for 3.5 years now and have never had a single little problem what so ever. Of course, OF COURSE problems are going to occur. Not everyone in this world is honest. You have to be careful, very careful who you deal with; just like real life. It's no different. Good lord if I abandoned/bashed everything that I had one bad experience with, there'd be a lot of things I don't do anymore! I don't deal with anyone with less than 10 or 20 Ebay positive feedbacks and they must also be verified paypal members with at least a handful of transactions with other verified members as well.

As for safety again I'd have to check further, if you have to provide bank acct (makes sense, how else would they pay you), then might be subject to "unauthorized withdrawals" if someone did try a chargeback. Would have to ask, C2it told me they don't do chargebacks but I guess they are going out of business. I'll still use paypal but will require verified only and delivery confirm and insurance unless it is someone I know and/or trust.

Re: [SWCollect] Good alternative to paypal for sellers
.35 cents per transaction as well. Not a bad deal for say a small store owner or something, but not much good to an ebay seller as far as I could tell. - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, October 13, 2003 10:35 AM Subject: [SWCollect] Good alternative to paypal for sellers Propay.com. From what I understand you pay them $35 for one year and you are able to accept credit cards. You actually run the card yourself. From what I see there can be no reversals but need to look into it further. $35 a year cheap for sellers, worth it not to worry about paypal stealing money from you.TomVisit my web page for many games for sale/trade and screen shots of Ultima Escape from Mt.

Re: [SWCollect] New topic--Collectors UNITE!
All my collection is shrinkwrapped only. I don't need to touch the stuff inside the box, I did that when I actually played them many years ago ;) They look nicer in the shrinkwrap imo too. I'm not in it to make money, but there's nothing wrong with keeping the maximum value in tact for my collection, right? Plus, I think a collection of originally shrinkwrapped stuff is just more impressive. ;) Brad - Original Message - From: Feldhamer, Stuart [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, January 29, 2003 2:26 PM Subject: RE: [SWCollect] New topic--Collectors UNITE! I don't know...I hate the idea of keeping software in shrinkwrap. I can understand that shrinkwrap makes the value higher, because someone buying a piece of old software would rather buy a new item than a used item. But as a collector, why would I want my software shrinkwrapped unless I'm in the hobby for profit? I couldn't really enjoy my collection if it was all shrinkwrapped and I couldn't examine the documentation, feelies, etc. I mean, I also collect comics. If they were shrinkwrapped, forget it. I would never have gotten into the hobby. Collecting shrinkwrapped software, you might as well just be collecting the box art. I know some of you keep shrinkwrapped and non-shrinkwrapped copies of the same game...maybe if I had a warehouse I would do this too... : ) *Dons Asbestos Suit* Stuart -Original Message- From: Marco Thorek [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, January 29, 2003 2:22 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [SWCollect] New topic--Collectors UNITE!

I thought those were there because the shrinkwrapping machines sucked the air out through those. I may have actually brought this up in a column once (or was going to): If the shrink threatens to compress and damage the package, we may have to decide slitting it slightly is acceptable. Like the action figure collectors who decided cutting the spare battery out of the package was better than having it rupture and leak acid all over an MIP fig. That's what I figured, but my fingers will tremble when I actually have to cut through there. Marco -- This message was sent to you because you are currently subscribed to the swcollect mailing list.
