OK, trying to clear even more space. This time I am selling my Canadian Odyssey 2 boxed system with french, and english owner manuals. I also have lowered everything else that did not sell 10 more percent.

Bumpity bump!

Someone should grab this one for sure! Two out of three boardgames is a nice touch.

BTW Homer are you a chessplayer? If so, what are you rated?

I forgot. I do have history with chess though. I learned when I was 6 years old. Was part of the chess club in college, and one time got an expert rating on Pogo. As far as now, I suck since I don't play much. I mean my chess rating on Yahoo is 1129. How sad is that?

Crazy to offer free shipping with no min/no reserve!

Yeah, I only do this when I am unsure on what to price this at. To be honest the system shows up so rarely that it is impossible to know what something like this to go for. So say for instance I put a Buy It Now of $150 for the lot. A couple of things could happen. Either A) I priced this too lowly, and I get screwed for doing so or B)I priced this too high, and I wait, and wait, and wait while slowly but surely lowering the price until it finally sells.

I am not a professional seller by any stretch of the imagination, and so I don't want to wait months or feel like a fool for pricing too low. So instead I go with option c. Let the market determine what this is worth. I do know I have some decently rare games. Games I feel that are rare enough to at least cover Ebay, Papal, and shipping expenses. So I decided to let it ride. As you can see everything else has Buy It Nows. That is because I have a pretty acurate understanding of what that stuff is worth. But with this I have no clue, and when that happens I usually just let it ride.

24 hours left in the auction, and look at my other items. You will not be able to find deals like this anywhere else on Ebay.

Free bump for a good seller. That Odyssey^2 is a steal, especially with free shipping + those boardgames!

[homerwannabee]

This only went for $40 shipped. I might be losing money on this deal when you include shipping fees plus Ebay, and Paypal fees.

You know who I blame for this!
Canada!!!

Bummer about the low sale but if you remember you asked me once before to price a canadian odyssey 2 for you and I told you around that price. Poor Odyssey 2 doesnt get much love.

Yeah, but I even had some semi rare games with it. So I thought that would make up for the loss. Ces't La Vie!

I guess the good thing is that this is probably going to go to a home much more appreciative of the system, and games than me.

[njb12287]

way to think positive thats what I always go with when i sell stuff for a low price.

Wish Id paid more attention. I would have bid more than $40

Ironic that a Canadian Odyssey couldn't be shipped to Canada
