    total nerd geek out when i saw a seller on ebay and new pokemon badges sealed for sale

    he has all sets for 25 dollars each fair good price there new and sealed

    this is his store

    http://myworld.ebay.ie/rickf68?ssPageName=ADME:X:RTQ:IE:1181

    so i asked him invoice me for 5 sets aka 125 dollars plus the p&p

    so i get the inovice and two of the sets are priced 35 he changed the price on two of them for some reason and sent it to me

    so i message him saying youve made an error the total is 125 dollars plus p&p not 145 plus p&p

    he basically just told me :mad: i deal with nerds like you all the time i charge whatever i want and i know you want them so pay up

    we agreed 125 dollars plus p&p now he trying to rip me off :(

    the thing is i really want them

    No sympathy at all. If you really want the badges you should be out there challenging the Gym Leaders.

    Thinly veiled "I can afford to piss away $125 on pokemon badges, out of all the things going" thread

    Whats the matter? building a virginity shield and the last Pokemon badges are the key?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,249 ✭✭✭Scioch


    Tell him to shove them up his hole.

    You can BUY the badges now?! No wonder the league has gone to the dogs. When I was young you were booted out the door by your mom on your 10th birthday to wander the country, fighting to earn your badges and a place in the league. If you were very lucky you befriended a chick in teeny shorts and a guy with the narrowest eyes possible to help you out and take you to the ER when you got pneumonia.

    And now you can buy badges?! You disgust me OP.

    ZOMG he has a Charizard card for sale too! Iv always wanted one!

    Open a dispute with ebay. He will have to sell at listed price.

    Leave terrible feedback.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 26,566 ✭✭✭✭Fratton Fred


    He has a point though.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,675 ✭✭✭hidinginthebush


    Can someone tell me what the fuck Pokemon is? I see it all over the internet and they seem to be huge, or at least they were, and have no idea what they are? Is a game, cards you collect, a cartoon, or what?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,669 ✭✭✭✭RobbingBandit


    Hey, didn't the bank just pay out for you, pay the bill mister millionaire:D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,381 ✭✭✭✭Allyall


    I thought a seller on Ebay had died..

    Was NOT expecting Pokemon.

    If you haven't bought them off that guy get them here http://sanshee.com/
    It'll be about 100 euro shipping included. One set is out of stock though.

    Ha ha I was expecting the exact same. The title of the thread got me thinking in my head "ow what happens when the seller dies. How did the buyer find out they were dead"

    all of the above and then some

    Op,
    Knowing the guy is a dick now. Can you really be sure that what you want is legit? Alot of fake pokemon merch out there.

    You have to be really really careful on ebay where fakes are concerned. In particular the collectibles section is chock full of fakes, as are the watches and antiquities/antiques sections. Feedback is an indicator, but don't rely on it. I've seen complete scam artists get near 100% feedback with 100's of sales to their name. People either know feck all or they're slightly ashamed to find they've been scammed. Mostly they know feck all.

    Many worry about Artificial Intelligence. I worry far more about Organic Idiocy.

    Too true.
    I actually was just reading a few articles about fake pokemon merch. So many plush toys and trading cards are fake ... seeing as how popular pokemon is.


    have to say tho, a quick way to make a dishonest buck.

    Lol now I'm even more lost!

    To add insult to injury, the OP will have to pay the higher rate of Desperate Nerd VAT, which I believe is 5000%.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 41,159 ✭✭✭✭Xavi6


    If you're over the age of 8 and buying Pokemon stuff on the internet you deserve to be ripped off tbh.

    No offence or anything but what adult buys Pokemon??
    It's like that whole Brony thing. Each to their own and all that but it just freaks me out.
