#eBay is such a fragmented company that I can't comprehend how they're still afloat. Every country has their own domain name and their own account system. You can log in on different country sites (having to go through the same process on every one of them), but the feature set is different. It's legacy, built on legacy, built on even more legacy. Like Windows, but way worse :D
Have so much extra stuff in my house I need to move on, I've mostly done eBay the last 20 some years but it's been DEAD on there lately. Throwing some stuff on Mercari today to try it out, my friend's had luck on there. Looks kinda promising. Only thing I hate about it is that it's like Amazon, the seller gets paid after the buyer receives the item. I've never liked that, having to front shipping money, but here we are. Also, Mercari's shipping estimates are too low/not updated with USPS' much higher prices now either, I noticed, so I'm just gonna ship myself, I don't want them compensating me wrong, shipping is pretty expensive now. But here we go. Fronting shipping to to try and move some of this stuff. 🙄🤣
This week i was looking to complete one of the master system games in my games collection. while I couldn't find a copy of this game with just the cart and box, I found a partially intact sealed copy of Missle Defense 3-D
Normally I wouldn't go for anything like this since I already had a manual, but I couldn't resist when I saw all the Montgomery Wards pricing stickers on it!
With the first sticker date of (July 2?) 1988 and the last sticker date of September 1996, this unopened game likely sat on store shelves for around 9 years before it finally sold.
Now I just gotta get a case I can put this in to preserve it. I will not be having this graded because FUCK WATA
One of my eBay saved searches alerted me to a new Commodore A1060 sidecar expansion. I would so love this to go with my Amiga 1000.
A PC hardcard in an ISA slot on the A1060 was the first official manner through which Commodore offered a hard disk expansion for the Amiga. A video card can be put in the unit to allow for dual-head usage of the Amiga 1000, one screen Amiga, one DOS PC. I'd love to get a Hercules in there, driving a side display.
Small rant. I’m trying to sell my stuff online. I was immediately permabanned by #eBay and #Poshmark, most likely due to my active #mullvad VPN connection and associated IP.
I’m glad I signed up for Mercari from my mobile, sans VPN.

Wäre es nicht eigentlich eine gute Idee sowas wie #ebay Kleinanzeigen auf Basis von #ActivityPup nachzubauen? Der dezentrale Ansatz ist doch bestens für regionale Privatverkäufe geeignet und das Abonnieren von bestimmten Sachen auch. Nur das mit dem Umkreis müsste man noch irgendwie gut abbilden 🤔
