coffeewithmrsaturn 100 Member · Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 It's finally that time! I'm glad to offer this very nice mystery box as my first VGS auction. It is heavy on GBA CIB stuff with a lot of good titles. The pricecharting value is a little over $525. Starts at $350, with minimum bid increments of $5. The BIN price is an ongoing $25 above the current bid, starting at $375. Ships free, US only, insured. Ends Friday, December 13, 8pm VGS time. Instead of a picture of the contents, you get a picture of Francis. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadeye 1,560 Homebrew Team · Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 @coffeewithmrsaturn are you requiring gift payment? Seemed to be a requirement, but you ended with if you feel comfortable. FYI, I believe the requirement of gift payments is against the site rules.

I am...I was under the impression it is allowed on the new site, but I will double check the rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Requiring gift payments was not allowed on NA and it isn't allowed here either. Please see #10 under site rules and revise your auction accordingly. Thanks.

coffeewithmrsaturn 100 Member · Posted December 7, 2019 Author Share Posted December 7, 2019 Hmmmm, I guess they changed the rules. When the site first started, it was one of the new rules that I thought was awesome. Thanks for the heads up...I'll fix the first post! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that I want to overstep here, but there would be nothing awesome in letting anyone requiring gift payment for sales. Gift payment are great to save on fees, but it leaves the buyer with absolutely no 3rd party protection if something bad happens. We all know you're an upstanding member and not looking to take advantage of anyone, but the rule in itself is very important to protect the members against fraudster who would join the site with some intentions to screw people over at some point. This said, good luck with the sale 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RH 4,079 Member · Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 I always thought the rule was that friend payments could be requested and incentivized (free shipping?) but couldn’t be required. Likewise, NA/VGA always discouraged buyers from using friend payments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This said, good luck with the sale I agree with you. When I said I thought it was awesome, I meant as it applied to me. But in general, I agree that the community is better off having protection against would-be scammers. I just saw it as a time-saver for me and a way to keep the transaction "between friends." I am getting more used to seeing people requiring gift payment on Instagram, too, so it's become a lot more normalized to me. edit: Sorry Captain, I posted that seconds after you had already posted. I'm with you now! Edited December 7, 2019 by coffeewithmrsaturn Needed to apologize to the good Captain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
