What does "50% off DP Price or less depending..." imply? What is DP Price?

[Vicman]

Nevermind, you only accept paypal and I don't use paypal anymore for ethical/economic safety reasons.

[Mel]

I can take money order if anything, I forgot to edit that.

DP price is Digitalpress, they make a priceguide for videogame collectors. By depending I mean, the condition of the cartidge or the popularity of the game. Which means if the game is really unpopular a $5 game may go for less.

That's great to hear Mel. I've used Paypal before and I got ripped off, Paypal refused to honor their money back guarantee and I got burned.

http://www.paypalsucks.com was a real eye opener on paypal's shady business tactics and made me realize after talking to my bank that once you've opened up your bank account to paypal they have carte blanche to steal your money and you often can do little to stop it ahead of time and only after they've done so can you do anything, leaving you in serious trouble. Reading up personal stories from people who've had thousands of dollars stolen from them by paypal, and from paypal employees giving inside evidence on how dirty and unethical paypal is made me close my bank account that I had listed with them, I reopened another with a diff. #, and report my debit card as stolen so as to make sure paypal couldn't get to my money. I'm not a paranoid person and have realized that it was a small chance I'd be targeted by paypal's unethical practices but they already burned me once, on refusing to honor their money back guarantee, and it's better to be safe than sorry even if it means the extra hassle of paying for things online via money order.

Vicman, how much money did you lose in that PayPal chaos?

[Vicman]

Around $75. The seller sold me junk and refused to give me a refund. Paypal didn't honor their buyer protection and pretty much told me "too bad, so sad". Just read up http://www.paypalsucks.com 's frontpage and peruse it's forums and you'll get an eye opener. Think to yourself about how easy using paypal is, now think to yourself what protections are in place to gaurantee that your account is truly protected from internal theft and unethical confiscation of your paypal & bank account funds. Seriously, talk to your bank/credit union and more often than not you'll find out there's nothing much they can do since you've given paypal the right to take money out of your account like you yourself do when you withdraw funds via a debt card. That easy access to your money is dangerous, especially so when you're dealing with an unethical business with poor hiring practices (they don't do background checks on new employees) and purposely awful customer service.

Nonetheless I don't want to take up anymore of Mel's great sale thread with this topic.

Anyways, Mel I'm interested in some of your merchandise, so check your PM's.

I don't mind, but the Ops might =)

Regardless, I want to be as fair and as open to everyone, even paypal users. though I do understand the risks, and recommend great care when using paypal.

Its SegaCD, only play's US NTSC version games. Type 2 top loading. No box no instructions. $25 if you request me to hold one now (USD) $30 if you wait until they arrive.

Pictures will be available once they arrive from my wholesaler. Shipping to Germany won't be known until I have an opportunity to weigh the items.

Segacd comes complete with everything you need to connect it to your Genesis or Megadrive.
