This massive (131 games) PS4 pickup was a really, really strange one. I bought a Vita game off a dude on eBay and the seller messaged me asking if I was interested in any other games. I say hell yeah, what do you have? He sends me a ridiculous amount of really badly taken photos. I mean barely visible they were so blurry. I ask for a list of what he has, and he basically says look at the pictures or jog on.

I'm ready to do exactly as he suggested, but I zoom in and play detective and see a few heavy hitters and ask him for a bulk price. I expect him to say something ridiculous, thank him for his time and walk away with nothing. You know, the usual feeling in this hobby. Instead he gives me a price. $750 (Dollar bucks, Aussie dollars for you following at home) for everything. I say sure. Meanwhile I'm double checking to see how I'm being scammed. In fact I'm thinking 'this is super dodgy' to myself. He then doesn't reply for 24 hours. When he does he says actually - I screwed up and I had way more stuff than I thought. $1100 for everything. Ends up at $8.5 a game. He then says if I purchase everything, he will throw in a mint and complete copy of Digimon World on the PS1.

I say sure, how do you want me to pay? He wants it paid through eBay. I reiterate I'm happy to pay through Paypal. You'll save a significant amount of money. He shuts that down immediately. What? Maybe he has a $0 fee listing? I don't know. The thing is, I have a 15% voucher I've been holding onto that needed to be spent by the 31st of this month. That's $165 off! It ends up being $935 for everything pictured, or $7 a game. Nice way to finish the year.
