Struggled between a few options, went with a variant I've wanted for quite some time.

I'd have to check my watch list after work to see if that's accurate but I'm pretty sure companies have gotten in a lot of trouble for raising prices before/during a sale:

Also, eBay's stock finally just came out of a slump. I doubt they would jeopardize that by creating a "fake" sale.


No, he is saying that opportunistic sellers on eBay (i.e. dooshy-doosh dueschbags) raised their prices by 20% when they saw the 20% off eBay promo.

...which is stupid greedy , and ultimately just stupid on the seller's part, considering that eBay eats the 20% discount (up to $100), and not sellers themselves.

This one is missing a coupon, but I'll deal with the 1.0 because I love this cover.

$55 for 100 silver mylite 2's and full backs after the coupon.

Normally I pay $40 for a set of 50 through Amazon. This way I got the discount plus no tax!

Giggity.

That wouldn't bother me at all.

I'd rather have a 1.0 in that grade at the 1.0 price, with a missing coupon, than a ragged run of the mill borderline eye sore 1.0.

I had to give it a pass this time. These sales always seem to come by when I’m in some financial difficulty :/

I also had to pass this time. Might be time to sell some comics to pump up my PayPal account for the next coupon.

Funny you say that, I also use PayPal almost exclusively as my “comic book account”

I have a problem with fattening women up. Bronte private msg quote post Address this user
Needed to vent.

I just bought a book on ebay and used the coupon. The seller refunds me after the transaction stating he doesn't have the book. He might have sold it offline and apologized. Meanwhile I lose out on 100$ coupon and the cost of an equivalent without coupon is going to be 150$ to 175$ more. So my getting another copy is not possible now.

He has nearly flawless 900+ feedback. Stuff happens but. I want to RIP him in feedback, but I do not like speaking negatively about people. Grrrr.....

Oh, man, that totally sucks. You should call eBay, see if they will give you a new coupon to make up for it. It would be in their interest, I assume, and they might do it.

@Tedsaid
I just got off the phone with ebay. They are going to send me another coupon since it wasn't my fault. They said it may take 2 days.

Thank you for the wonderful advice. I honestly didn't think ebay would do anything but say I'm sorry.....

Anyways, thank you again.

Something like that happened to me once. I think ebay's policy is to provide one replacement coupon.
