Re: JOYSTICK ... favorite?

Posted on 2013-09-06, 15:02

[Edit: I made a small correction to my earlier post in this thread...the exercise bike "controller" that I own is actually called the TimeRyder and it's made by Life Gear -- it's not called "LifeCycle" as I earlier posted]. My digital camera isn't working good right now, but here's a (bad) pic I …

My "biggest" game controller is also my most unique: it's an exercise bicycle called TimeRyder Interactive Bike from Life Gear which has a multi-plugged connection cable that lets your pedalling control the speed/direction of characters (or cars or planes) for three different systems: PC, SNES, and …

Re: Anyone from FRANCE ? Help!

It's a game that 99% of gamers don't even want... ...but I don't want to mention the name publicly, since it's a bit hard to find, and it might cause someone to buy it before I can. If you live in France, and willing to help, please private message me and I'll give you all the details.

Anyone from FRANCE ? Help!

Posted on 2013-07-25, 22:24

This post is to ask if there is a VOGONS member in France who could help me communicate with a Seller of an item located in France? The item I'm trying to buy is a simple game (on CD-ROM)...but when I responded to the online advertisement I got no response. It might be that the website filtered out …

Re: YELLOWED Plastic

This topic reminds me that a few years ago, I found a Sinclair ZX-80 which was in great shape -- except for yellowing on its case. I had a cannister of Bon Ami (powder-type cleanser containing crystallized bleach), so I gently scrubbed it into "like new" appearance (Bon Ami's motto is "Hasn't …

YELLOWED Plastic

I seem to remember that there is some product that is designed(?) to restore old yellowed computer plastic to it's original "whiter" appearance. Can anyone tell me the product's name? I know that anything containing bleach might help, but I'm wondering about a possibly better solution?

One time, the Seller changed the postage cost of a simple (small) paper wall-poster from $4 to $10. The second time, a Seller changed the shipping on a simple Keyboard from $10 to over $47...just for shipping the keyboard! In both auctions, the Sellers and myself were, and are, residents of the USA …

Actually, when I started this thread, I was intending to ask mostly about people's experiences with flaws in the eBay "system" -- but I'm getting mostly comments on people's thoughts about eBay's individual Sellers' behavior. But that's fine too. In fact, as long as we're talking about Seller …

I agree that Asian sellers are usually extremely fair and cooperative. The vast majority of Sellers are fair...even though eBay has been making it harder on them to make a decent profit from their sales, with increased fees and such.

Hmm haven't had bad experiences, mostly positives ones with disputes always going my way and getting my money back But, if you have a dispute, and have to go to the trouble of returning your item (AND paying the Return Shipping cost yourself)...is that really a "positive experience"? But I know …

Disturbing Evil-Bay practices...

Posted on 2013-07-13, 03:09

Let me start things off by noting a disturbing practice of which many of you might not be aware: Did you know that eBay's checkout system actually allows the Seller -- *after* the auction ends -- to CHANGE (i.e., RAISE) the stated Shipping Cost at which you won your auction...WITHOUT YOUR KNOWLEDGE …
