How much is sales tax in California? -> http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=62054&item=8180549111&rd=1

As high as 8.25%

 

[bort]

I got my psp for $240 after tax.

 

[The Faceless Master]

OWNED! (esp with the $10 shipping when others at least charged $20) -> http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=62054&item=8180550863&rd=1

As high as 8.25%

wow, that's almost as bad as here (NYC = 8.625%)

 

[The Faceless Master]

I got my psp for $240 after tax.

damn, at that price, you could probably make a profit... until you have to pay the ebay fee for selling the item...

 

[Shompola]

they get their money from S/H.

 

[mashoutposse]

eBay wannabe millionaires :lol

they get their money from S/H.

And the commissions for eBay/Paypal take it right back :lol

 

[The Faceless Master]

at least someone is making a good profit off the PSP -> http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=62053&item=8180145057

:lol :lol :lol

they get their money from S/H.

$20 S+H isnt gonna save you when you consider ebay fees, tax yo paid on the psp and still paying for shipping...

Just to let you know Californians have to pay a extra 6.75 per unit for the lcd. So Ebay doesnt sound that bad now when you think about 8.25% tax and shit.

are you in cali?

all my friends there said they didn't have to pay that rumored tax...

 

[Shompola]

6.75? is that some kind of environment tax?

You got ripped off man :lol

 

[B'z-chan]

Yes i do live in cali, have for 20 years.

yeah its a environmental tax. And yet they were charging it at bestbuy, compusa, and target yesterday when i was out and about. A lot of people were confused and bitched about it. But others just said fuck it give me the unit.

if thats true wario why was i seeing people get charged for it? Maybe its a local thing? I'm trying to find out now. Cause this interests me.

 

[golem]

i didnt get charged any extra tax.. (LA county)

the new definition of owned -> http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=62054&item=8180574619&rd=1

i wonder how many of these sellers will eat the cost of underperforming auctions...

 

[Shard]

Wow, very odd to see a launch system being reasonably priced on EBay.

 

[michael000]

Heh if you're in Europe and wanted a system now it looks like ebay is the place to be. You can pay close to US retail + shipping. Certainly beats buying from an import speciality store like lik-sang and the lot.

 

[bridegur]

I'm trying to sell mine but no one is buying. I think I'm going to try to return it.

Oh, that is VERY owned. When Dutch auctions go horribly wrong. Figure in eBay fees, sales tax, etc. and he might have just lost $100 or more.

Of course, he also charged $35 for shipping, which could cover it considering he'll probably just throw them into a shopping bag, wrap it up, and send it media mail for fifty cents.

 

[Enigma]

Here's the costs that I'd figured I'd have it I did that: 6% sales tax, ebay fees, and PayPal fees. Think the three of them ended up at something like 33 dollars. So those thinking you can make the money up in shipping by overcharging 10 dollars, it's much more than that. But still, anyone who did this is an idiot. You could see days before it launched that demand wasn't there.

Edit: That was based on a sell price of 299.99 (And no shipping charges calculated with PayPal). So you might drop a couple dollars at 250, but it's still around 30 (And more if you have higher sales tax).

Im happy that I was able to sell a PSP with one game for over 800 USD at Japanese launch.

US Ebayers am cry.

I want to import but its quite risky given the number of PSP's with dead pixels out there.

This is my only real concern too. I'm a little tempted though.

 

[Rorschach]

No enviro tax here either. (Also LA county )

You mean at Japan launch? Because if you're saying US launch, I want a link or I call bullshit.

 

[Pimpwerx]

Yesterday morning there were some listed below $210 with less than 2 minutes left on the auction. I was tempted to bid, but all of them had reserves set...and I still don't want to spend that much on a PSP. The price is too fucking high. Hopefully sales are slow enough to force a price drop...or at least some common sense. PEACE.

My mistake. Fixed it. Thanks.

Heh...if I saw one for less than $210 that was shipping to europe (for less than $50), I'd be all over it!

 

[Ninja Scooter]

when i picked up my brothers i think it came out to like $268 and some change total out here in Cali, but i didn't even bother to check if they charged the extra tax.

Sales tax is about $20

$249 + 20 = $269

No bs environmental tax
