I'm not saying this is what occurred, but often on eBay I will be asked to state a lower value on customs forms and/or put it as a gift. Which is customs fraud.

Very Positive Seller Feedback for SevenDevils

He shipped Myth II out lightening fast and I got two bonus Kitchen materials.


Seriously, the packaging was like extra bonuses for a family of 4, LOL.

Homeworld Collector's Edition, the one with the replica ship, unopened.

2451445-9042071282-ce_sp.png


I bought into the hype of this game from all of my friends raving about it, then I realized it was an RTS the day before release. RTS' are not my bag and I know I won't enjoy this game no matter what.

At this point, I just want to sell this to someone that wants it. My other option is to return it to Amazon, which will incur a fee. I don't want to deal with eBay and I am not trying to get rich off the thing.

Asking $125 USD, shipped. PayPal Gift is accepted.

Oh.... Well balls.

Edit: Actually, scratch that, I didn't fill out a custom form for it. All I did was write "Gift" on the outside of the box. I missed the "forms" part of the statement. That makes me feel somewhat better.

Audyssey Lower East Side Media Speakers - $110 shipped
I no longer have the box or manual, so these will be shipped with the two speakers and power cable only. They're great sounding desktop speakers that had universally excellent reviews but are now discontinued. I'll cover shipping.






Less gaming related but I also have a Velodyne EQ-Max 8 subwoofer, for $210 shipped. If you want more info or pics, PM me!

From the OP:

4. No illegal shit

I think this goes without saying, but JUST IN CASE. Do not sell stolen goods (well, first of all, don't steal :p), do not sell pirated goods, do not sell illegal products, or things that might get the forum into trouble. If we get a complain about such stuff, you will get banned, and the listing(s) will get deleted, because... duh. Oh and don't try to trade any of that shit either.
Click to expand...

Doesn't matter if it's common or not. Don't talk about it on the forum, and don't offer it as a service. I understand accidents happen, but we won't need or want an explanation here.

Not trying to sound angry (because I'm not - at all) or seemingly point any fingers, but we can't approach this kind of transaction or discussion here. There's way too much on the line.

The most positive of feedbacks for CloggerDude. When the Majora's Mask New 3DS XL was announced, he went out of his way to preorder one for me at GameStop. He kept an eye on the order's status until it was in his hands, tested it to make sure it was in perfect conditions, and forwarded it to me in even better packaging than GameStop originally shipped it in. He even took his time to label the package per Costa Rica's customs requirements so that it would be tax-exempt, saving me easily over $100 as a result.

Not once did he ask for more money for the console than what GameStop (plus shipping) charged him, and communication was nothing less than quick and pleasant. I would deal with him again in a heartbeat.

There is no way I would have been able to get one otherwise. I am in his debt, and so glad to be a part of this community. Thanks, CloggerDude!

I'm very glad you got the n3DS, and even more glad that you could save the customs, I would have done that, but I was just too eager to play to wait for the process to be finished...

what you did is not illegal, its a customs exception that can be made every year for every civilian in Costa Rica, basically you do not pay import taxes for just one items with a $500 value or less if you report that it was sent from a friend, its in a law that was changed recently

the law included any article, even when bought through amazon, though it was changed because of some people... "interests"... over CR and now only things received from non commercial addresses can be excepted from the import taxes...

what Fireblend did is not illegal, he just made use of a law that is valid in his country (I know that in other Central America countries the same law applies, it was like a convention or something)

EDIT: I can redirect you to the mentioned law if you know spanish... its completely valid...

I built this PC a few months ago and put a lot of work into making it just right. I think it paid off and I'm very happy with it, but I'm moving to a smaller apartment and honestly just more of a console person I think. I'm looking to sell it back, prebuilt and with Windows 8.1 installed (shit boots instantly too) for about what the parts cost. I'd rather not part it out because it is beautiful and runs so damn well. Here are the specs:

I'll give you the speakers and Xbox controller too.

I want to get $1500 shipped for it, but I'm willing to negotiate if I have to. I'm wanting enough to get a PS4 and a nice laptop because my new job will have me traveling.

Here's my ebay link (I'll remove if this isn't allowed). Just want to show that I have a seller history.

That is super interesting! I had no idea.

Agreed.

And it's fine to work these situations out behind the scenes, but let's not bring the discussion here in case another situation isn't so easily explained.

Either way, cheers. Glad everyone's happy.

Have a bunch of stuff for sale here!
Section 2, I have an OLED Vita + Memory Card, and I'm looking to trade them for a Vita Slim

P.S. Please be understanding with the fact that it's a bit of a process for me to get to the post office, so most of my shipping will be done on either Friday or Saturday. Please keep this in mind when purchasing.

PS Vita OLED + 16GB Memory Card, want to trade for a PS Vita Slim (no memory card needed)

OLEDVita.jpg


(Games pictured not included, system will be formatted)

Dat OLED
You know you want it.

Seriously though, as silly as it sounds, I didn't realize that the Slim offered MicroUSB charging while the OLED one has its own charger, and I decided I would prefer to have cord flexibility over "Dat OLED"

So, if anyone has a PS Vita Slim and wants to trade it straight-up for an OLED Vita, let me know.
Adding in the 16GB memory card as an incentive, since I ended up getting a 32GB card, and don't need an extra one. So, hopefully this should be a great deal!

Please contact me with offers! =)

Yeah, it wasn't customs fraud. I know that was already established, but as the one who had CloggerDude do it, I feel like I should answer anyway.
Costa Ricans are allowed to receive an item below $500 without taxes once every 6 months, as long as it was sent by a friend or family. Here's a page that explains it in english.

You didn't break any law, CloggerDude, don't worry (and neither did I). No Interpol team is coming for you :p

I just don't want my reputation hurt because of a misunderstanding. People who know me here should know that I would never "trick" anyone into doing anything illegal for me, and I take such accusations very seriously.

We already clarified this - if it's legal, fine. If not, calling someone a "good dude in my book" doesn't change anything if it's illegal. It's not here, but the comment I responded to made it seem like the situation was okay because it's circumventing a poorly worded or implemented law. It is legal, but that's inconsequential.

I was reacting to that comment, not the overall situation.

It's actually really not illegal to send PayPal as a gift to friends/family. It's very much YMMV but there's no law against sending my good friend terrisus a gift of $10 and him sending me a gift. FWIW. I realize it's a bit of a gray area.

And the difference between Goods and Friends/Family on PayPal are pretty much just whether you want to be covered by PayPal's "protections" at the cost of a fee or not.

This is exactly right. The problem is, some people still think that they deserve some type of protection when they pay with Friends and Family. There have been numerous times on here where someone didn't receive the item they paid for with Friends/Family and people have suggested that they ask PayPal to refund them their money. That's not how the system is supposed to work though.

If you want the protection, then pay the extra cost. It's really not that much more.

The problem with PayPal "business" is that the buyer gets most of the protection, while the seller is supposed to pay the transaction fees. Of course you can always ask the buyer to pay fees but that's not intended by PayPal or it would offer that option. If your buyer pays with PayPal "business" it is way easier for him to scam you, the seller, especially if you ship without tracking/insurance or sell digital items.

Selling:
Used red 2DS. It has had some tumbles, but the 2DS is some rigid hardware. In good shape. Has a TMNT decal on it that you can remove if you choose to. I am 90% sure I put a screen protector on both screens, but its hard for me to verify. The circle pad sometimes feels like it is hitting something under it preventing smooth motion to the left, but it will still register all movements, just something i noticed when i was using it. I don't think its a huge deal as my son never complained about it.
Missing: stylus, SD card, charger. Asking $50 shipped, $55 with pouch below.
max is forbidden to buy this 2ds by his request :)



Used red 2DS pouch. Pretty good shape, however, the 3 slots for the 3DS game cards is a little stretched (from putting two games in each slot), so if you put one game in a slot, it will fall out when the flap is folded out. $8 shipped.


(folded out, single games can stay in place if you carefully fold back in before closing)

I do not think nrvalleytime's reaction was unwarranted. The discussion initially included the possibility of an illegal way to send goods out of the US. Thankfully, the situation has been clarified and we all now know that nothing illegal was done. Hooray! But nrvalleytime is absolutely right in trying to make sure we aren't talking about breaking laws here. Remember, this thread is a privilege, not a right. It is not officially moderated or policed in the way that the rest of GAF is so it is up to us as users to make sure nothing happens to jeopardize our ability to trade with our fellow community members. Illegal activity is a sure fire way to get shut down and no one wants that to happen.

So don't feel bad! I think we all understand what you are saying, we just need to be mindful. :)
