Forum: Rants Topic: EBay - buy now.... started by: Greasemonk Posted by Greasemonk on Dec. 17 2000,05:12
Whats up with this? It used to be 100\% auction and you could get stuff really cheap if you got lucky. It looks like businesses are slowly taking over ebay to sell their stuff. Now its either you buy cheap or if you want to accumulate positive feedback you outbid another person. I think by next spring ebay will be 75\% buy now and 15\% auctions.

Explain what this buy now crap is. I thought ebay was just an auction site.

lets say you're selling a Duron 650 CPU. (Worth approx 50 bucks) You can let people bid and stuff, but if they want to "Buy now" before the auction ends, they can pay ๑ or whatever.Ebay on the whole is going downhill IMHO, but there are definately still cool people out there.

JESUS FUCKING CHRIST DUDE. What the hells wrong with you next time your gonna post a link with graphic pictures like that, you need a warning preceding it. Warning the following contains violent or disturbing content, viewer discretion is advised. I almost looked directly at it. Posted by MinscBoo on Dec. 23 2000,03:00
I definitely agree, it is becoming harder and harder to find an item worth the price on ebay now. And an auction site should not have a buy auction. That is just stupid.

Too many items are now overpriced...I was looking for a decent paintball marker a few nights ago, just to find that a Blade (about the cheapest you can get, 30-40 dollars at a Wal-Mart) is going on Ebay for 60+. Please, I thought that the internet was supposed to be a cheaper place to buy...well, usually...------------------ |
