Topic: I just bought a refurb Vita from ebay I didn't want...

[ymeegod]

Paid around $157 awhile back (think 4 months now) but mine came with 16GB card and four games.  With PS+ and free games (think I have around 8 freebies) I found myself enjoying the Vita very much.

Wait a sec... So, you are just bidding on things you don't want to jack up the price and force other people who do want these items to bid more? Why? Can't stand the fact that people might get sometihng they want at a low price?

Okay, now i get it.

It does sounds like fun in a schadenfreude way.

I can't believe you thought someone would pay more than $160 (after tax) to take a refurbished Vita away from you.  Local second-hand prices for Vita, like new condition and usually with games, are trending way under that.


On the bright side, Vita has a few good games already and more good ones coming. Not an awesome price, but great hardware that should only get better as the software situation continues to improve.

Sorry man, but you seem to be wrong because I spent all day yesterday doing small ebay bids, and every single one of them (around 12) all went about 160, except for the one I happened to win. Plus, I've been on r/Gameswap and r/gamesell and they all want more than 160.

The fact that you got stuck with one of these bids might be a good thing to keep you from doing this again in the future.

What are you even saying? That's definitely not what I was trying to do.
