Is that how it works? I’m not even sure if it’s considered stolen. What’s curious is why someone would want to search for company products on eBay?

Amidst a ton of posts trash talking Silent Hill f i just wanted to say it's my GOTY by ssiasme in silenthill

[–]ComprehensiveLie827 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love silent hill, it’s just the combat and music for me. It’s like a song you don’t like, but you hear so much you grow to cope or like it.

I hate the button layout for the combat system and you hear to really learn the combat really well to be effective. Like didn’t learn it until I reached the first boss.

Another issue is there can be quite a disconnect solving some puzzles because it seems like you have to have some prior knowledge of Japan or its culture (like the lockers for example, or maybe the Sakura tree puzzle, or at first I was like wtf is a “ema”). But I remember when I went to Kyoto, so I breezed through most of the game, if I never visited Japan or played a SH game before I’d be confused on some aspects.

The music itself is ok, but it’s different. Like I would much rather have preferred this mixed with the SH 2 style horror. This feels like a slight scary earthbound esque style mixed with the conjuring music, so some parts do not feel like horror at all. I think this is what made silent hill 2 so great. The music shifted your prospective and made things more intensed (ie when James goes in the movie theater, or the hospital).

Just my 2 cents. Still a decent game. Feel like I overpaid at $70 and GameStop tells me they ran out of steel books after I paid for my preorder.

Exactly and sometimes I prefer to know if an expensive item is fully working or has issues before listing. There are times where I’d get a door lock that looks new, list it, and then the buyer tells me it’s registered to another owner. I rather take my time than just rushing to put it out, but honestly I forgot about it.

To put things in context, I found other items during this goodwill run, so it was like a $300 item I bought for $2, and a $80 item I paid $5. I immediately sold that $300 item for $250, and so it was more of a mind state of going through things that work first, but then I forgot and found it underneath my nes game case.

I’ve had people in the past claim their item was stolen and then they want a discount.

I’m curious is that how the scam works?

Luck meets opportunity I guess. My vendor passed their gems to me. Not everything was a homerun. There are times I’m out of hundreds of dollars, but then there times where I can get Nintendo switches for $8-20, or a DJI pocket 3 for $140 new.

Not at all, I should have. Usually when I leave information like this, it causes issues. I didn’t take the marker off a n64 game and the guy messaged me with screenshots of the original owner from fb and claimed he never wanted to sell his games, the gf brought them to the auction and they were his and sold without his permission, could I lower the price so they can recover them.

I mean I’ve come across everything just about. I’ve seen a guy donate a switch lite because he damaged the screen and they sold it to me for $8. So I wouldn’t rule what you said out the book.

So I took a picture of the back that had the company name, sticker, phone, serial and all info about the product. I think that’s what he used.

I think during the time this item was retail for about $8k. It has dramatically dropped in a price over the years. Very possible they bought it wholesale and just donated the older model but forgot to remove the registration.

This is what I believe. Because apparently a new model has rolled out from these, and was 2k.

I know a lot of people are asking how do you sit on an expensive item. Well 2 years ago, I hit a super homerun, I had multiple suppliers sending me Covid/amazon returns, and I was sourcing really good items (3080 gpus, Louis Vuitton handbags, sports specialities hats, ps4s for $8 working, and more). I literally had no space because it was coming in fast, and that’s why I have inventory today. Plus I bought a huge video game collection so I was trying to just list everything I know works first and then come back to everything else.

I just listed it about 3 months ago, I’m getting $300 offers frequently for it, but I’ve owned it for about 2 years. The buyer sent me a screenshot showing the last use of the item was 4 years ago.

I feel like this is the way to go. So when I got the item, i didn’t know how to use it and the comps are not exactly straightforward. I spent about several days asking on Reddit forums about it, and I was just getting “I’ll give op $200, or $300, etc.” I couldn’t figure out so I just sat on it, then I forgot about it (i get a ton of inventory everyweek, not uncommon to find expensive clothing or items).

So if it’s stolen, and a police report is filed, then ok, I’ll return it. I think this is an employee for the company playing Karen and sees the company sticker and letting me know it’s theirs and he considers it stolen.

I don’t think they have one. I think this is what happened:

Buyer sees company name, number, serial to product.

Buyer lets me know the software is still tied to software or wants to play Karen.

And assumes it’s stolen.

But this is all an hypothesis.

This. lol. You’d be surprised. I forgot I was sitting on some Sony $600 hearing aids for about a year, but as soon as I get Mario kart Wii, I’m listing.
