Title: I've never bought or sold anything on Ebay, BUT....
Post by: Signe on March 31, 2006, 09:26:42 AM
I have decided that this July, when we move, I'll find the unpacked boxes of games that I've never opened, put them into one huge box and sell them on Ebay.  I reckon I'll stick a reserve of $5K on them and advertise it as "Variety of 100+ plus games for various platforms. (PC, Xbox, Mac, PS, PS2, Commodore 64, Amiga, etc...)  Boxes never opened, most in mint condition.  (By "mint" 99% never been hardly ever squashed.  Mostly.)

Maybe it'll go like that Jesus ham sandwich with one bite out of it that some Casino bought fo 10K.   You never know.  I could become briefly rich.  This is better than whatsisname's stock market get rich quick scheme, no?  I mean his plan was just daft, right? 

Schild will be angry because I normally mail him all the shit I find in my house that usually goes in the dumpster.   :-D

Be sure to put lots of lies and horrible exaggerations in your description.

And semi-nude pics. Those seem to be popular too.

As an irregular eBay seller, I can attest that pictures help sell your wares. Just an fyi. $5k sounds like a stretch, too.

Post by: Signe on March 31, 2006, 01:14:18 PM
Well, I could take a few pics and post them as a teaser.  A pic of my Leather Goddess of Phobos or something should do.  I even have an unopened box of AC2... surely that'll be worth something someday, no?  I think that 5K wouldn't seem like so much if I could find some way to tie them in with Jesus.

If you just put a boob or two in the pictures, you'll get $5k with no trouble.

Giggity.

OK, I'll stop... apparently I am making you angry.

Your best bet is to make a list of the games and post them. Not so we can laugh at your misfortune but there are very few game collections worth $5,000. You've got to have 3-400 games in there. I know, for a fact, you do not have 100 copies of Valkyrie Profile. Or Rez. Or Radiant Silvergun. Or 100 of any game that's actually going to net that mauch. Just out of my head I can say there's less than 40 PS1 games that'll get more than $10 predictably, less than 50 PS2 games that'll get that much, and from there the list just gets smaller and smaller - less than 15 gamecube, less than 10 xbox, etc. etc. As for last generation, I think there are about 8-10 N64 games and maybe 5 or 6 Dreamcast games that go for their weight in dollars and maybe a handful that get more. It's not an easy sale.

Here is something I just bought on Ebay!

I'm going to frame it and put it on my wall.

Am I weird?

Post by: schild on March 31, 2006, 06:27:23 PM
Well, you did just post something for purchasing approval on a web message board pretty much devoted to games and nonsensical bullshit. So No, of course you're not weird.

What that bottom arm is doing is called "bending."


Title: Re: I've never bought or sold anything on Ebay, BUT....

My arm won't bend like that.  It's not natural.

Are you new to Signe?

Oh yeah, there's a story about a Signy (pronounced Signe) in Oblivion. She offered to sleep with me at a farm house.. then she tried to rob me. EVIL!


Title: Re: I've never bought or sold anything on Ebay, BUT....
Post by: Signe on April 03, 2006, 08:17:59 AM
Although it's a form of my name, it couldn't possibly be me.  I can't even get past the priory before I give up due to all these random crashes. 
Anyway, that would be sick.  I've always thought of you as a daughter.

Post the list of games so that we may pick through them and call "dibs".

If I remember correctly from my time in Bat Country in COH its pronounced "SinYay" and its norweagen or danish or some thing. Am I right Signe?

Post by: schild on April 03, 2006, 12:07:56 PM
I do believe it's Sig-nee. But if she sends me all those games, I'll call her whatever her heart desires. Though, she owes me, since the last box she sent me had such gems as Darkstone, Dungeon Lords, and a terrible Black Isle Studio title - I think it was Lionheart. Either way, she aimed to hurt.

You're all wrong.  None of you know how to pronounce my name.

Then we'll just have to call you Sweetcheeks. Or Mid-Boss.


Title: Re: I've never bought or sold anything on Ebay, BUT....
Post by: Strazos on April 03, 2006, 10:06:58 PM
Lionheart.

Sigh.

Wasn't this the first BIS game in awhile that was not also worked on by BioWare? I remember being disappointed.


(Shockeye, please add BioWare to the dictionary.)

I support calling her Mid-Boss.

You have hundreds of unopened video games? Make a list, we're all curious.

Well, I have to find the unopened boxes and unpack them, don't I?  That happens in July, doesn't it?   Like I said in the first post, didn't I?  Do try and keep up, won't you?

I don't pronounce it.  I read it.  In my head.

As far as I'm concerned it could just be a symbol, just like Prince's temporary name except I didn't formerly know you as anything else.

For the record, I didn't say you should use a picture of your own boob.
