Title: Amazon Marketplace ROCKS
Post by: CajoleJuice on February 08, 2008, 03:42:38 PM
I just sold Ikaruga in like 12 hours for $45. Of course, about 5/6 bucks of that goes to Amazon, but shit, that was fucking easy. No dealing with Paypal, no having to take pics, just BAM.

$45 dollars for Ikaruga?  I could find that game for 10 dollars at a local store.  For what platform?

Gamecube. My listing at $45 was the cheapest on Amazon Marketplace. :lol

Can't wait to buy it again...at $10. With leaderboards and achievements. :rock

I bought a CD on Amazon.com Marketplace for .01 once and never got it. :/ Also had problems with a text book on there once but I got refunded.

I bought a $40 book on Shaders for like $4 or something last year. Took forever to get it (I paid for 2 day shipping from Seattle to Tacoma!) but it was in great shape and had the CD.

At any rate, I find the shipping on stuff on Marketplace to be shady but everything else about it rocks.

no prob.  if you're really paranoid, buy insurance on your delivery and get tracking.  but you WILL get your money from amazon.
