i can barely keep up high school job and sport, i agree.
i got hooked up twice on this website, once the guy completely disappeared, the other i sent the profit i made off the item i bought from him to cover some of the extra shipping he had to pay, ended up breaking even.
if someones got the time to find shit on ebay, invest in it, and give me a chance to buy it at a price lower then i'd pay had i bought it from a shop, im happy. I think i was trying to bid on a jacket on ebay once, saw it on here, and asked the guy if he got it from that auction; and he offered me a chance to pay exactly what he did, told him it's fine and told him to make some extra change on it cause he was selling for basically the same price people were selling the same jacket used for.
if nobody flipped or resold half the shit everyone gets hooked up on and brags to their friends about how much of a better price they paid would be gone so quit complaining. i'm sure if you weren't bringing shit in the open and just genuinely PM'd someone if you were also bidding on the same item more then half the time they'd let you pay what they did + shipping instead of starting shit up like this thread and complaining about the fact someone is making money while someone is still getting a good deal.
