Ebay owned a friend
 
A friend of mine decided to buy the PS2 version of FFXI, but he wanted to 'save money', so he bid on one on ebay. After it was said and done, it came to a total of $139 CDN (includes Shipping and handleling). But when it arrived today, he found out that there was a $60+ postage fee.

Funny shit huh. I laughed at him for a few, couldn't resist. Tried to save and spent 50 dollars more.

ROFL!!!!

What a moron.

BTW, he didn't know there would be a Postage fee. If it wasn't for that, he would have saved. It wan't mentioned on the bid page(i looked). So it was one of those things that just happened out of the blue. He hasta shovel out another 60 dollars.

LOL he got scammed.

Tyrannicide 2004-05-17 04:06 PM

it was funny, he isn't very happy.

I wouldn't be either. That's $60 i could've used to buy candy.

Tyrannicide 2004-05-17 04:13 PM

yes 'candy', u forgot to wink.

Thats enuff to buy another game.

HandOfHeaven 2004-05-17 04:15 PM

Usually scamming implies a benefit to the scammer. Since I doubt that the alleged "scammer" was some fat chuck in a UPS outfit, I don't think it was a scam.

Well, explain to me how else a game could cost 60 dollars to ship to you. THe seller put a 60 dollar shipping charge. When payment is recieved, the seller will send the item by some 6 dollar one week shipping. The seller just made an addition 54 dollars.

Tyrannicide 2004-05-17 05:10 PM

wow, that is good, never thought about that.

badboy 2004-05-17 09:47 PM

That seems pretty gay. He should go kill that guy.

If I payed 60 bucks for shipping that bitch better be knocking on my door when the bid closes.

Chruser 2004-05-18 02:23 AM

That's strange. I ordered a DDR pad package from RedOctane in California, which was kind of large and cumbersome. I got charged $45 for shipping, but that's nine timezones away. Where did you order your game from, Uzbekistan?

D3V 2004-05-18 12:40 PM

You don't have to pay it, just tell ur n00b friend to cancel his order, I know thats not how your suppsoed to do it, and he'll get ripped for it, but who cares. Fuck ebay, its run by TERRORISTS!

Tyrannicide 2004-05-18 01:19 PM

Itb was already delivered. He has to pay it now, the Postal service has it. It didn't say anything about it on the bid page. found out when it was delivered.

It was outa the blue. came fro the states.
