Craigslist, ebay, etc.

All my experiences are with half.com which is an extension of ebay. It's just that the site charges your credit card and gives the person the money to avoid a level of hassle.

1. I ordered Valkyrie Profile for PS1 from someone. You guys I'm sure know how much that goes for. After a few weeks of not recieving it I mailed the guy asking about it. I can't remember the excuse he gave me exactly, but he wasn't really being shady. few more weeks. I still haven't gotten it and suddenly he asks why I never left feedback. Then even though I had mailed him earlier, it's like it suddenly hits him that "Oh crap it got lost in the mail!" and he sends me another copy which I recieved in like a week.

2. I ordered 2 copies of the Everquest 2 Collector's Edition. The guy sent me 2 copies of the regular game. I confronted him about it and somewhat understandably he claims he didn't know. Because half.com shows a picture of the regular game and for the regular game shows box art that was never used. I sent them back and he refunded me. But sure enough, he was still selling them as Collector's Editions.

3. Only sale I ever made. I had an open copy of World of Warcraft: Burning Crusade but hadn't activated it yet. But I stumbled upon a copy of the Collector's Edition. I'm sure what happened is someone who had bought several copies intending to ebay them for lots of money returned them when they wouldn't sell. So I sold my regular copy of the expansion for $20 without the box. Not a particularly interesting sale aside from the reason behind it. Because I know that's what happened. A fat guy was going around the area buying 10 copies at every store then they wouldn't sell for the jacked up prices people wanted.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
