Nominate me for “EBay’er of the year�
I do not use EBay often; maybe 30 times over the last 3 years but when I do buy something 9 times out of 10 I will just use the “Buy Now†feature since I hate waiting to see if I have the winning bid. I normally make sure I am getting a good deal and make sure I can’t get what I want at a store for the same price.
Today I wanted to get 2 Xbox controllers so the kids will all be able to play games at once, I find 2 new ones for $10.05 and $14.95 in shipping and handling which I thought was a good deal, as I am pay for them I see the seller is also in Florida so I also have to pay 6% tax which is no biggie.
Now for the “good partâ€â€¦
As I get my receipt of payment I see the sellers address is 2.5 miles from me… and it is a game store…. So I paid $15 in shipping when I could have spent $4 in gas and got them today.
Sigh….
