this is ridiculous. a closed-bid auction via pm's with no buyer or seller protection, a downright ugly feature-crippled unit and the stated fact that you will sell intellectual properties you don't own the rights to... and you didn't even give a baseline for the bids.

good luck! you'll need it.

:evil: hey what's wrong? Was I so unfriendly with you?
Not sure what would you suggest as baseline price I've no idea.. also is my build so ugly?? And why do you urge to tell it like that? What protection can I offer? Paypal payment or what do you mean. About pm i think usually this things are done in other forums like this to avoid silly fights but you can suggest. I'm new here but don't need to attack like that, surely didn't want to offend anyone.

Do a Ebay auction. Because what he is saying if its more crap on the inside then on the outside. We can reclaim the money. Because paypal dont accept returns from payment with friends payments. And what i am reading its going like that. PM me for a bid. !!!! What the fuck man.. I can do the same. A poor kid is bidding 125 you gonna say sorry last bid 200. And no one can see that. Dude common. And if you sell this as a companey then we have protection. Just saying

Because dont get me wrong as i see from the photos i am not bidding more than 125. 120 for the parts and 5 for the effort. Because everyone here on the forums can build there own. And most here think lets make a cheap ass product and then sell it for 400 dollars. But what i was saying yours is not that great.

So from my end good luck with your sell.

It looks like any reference to included games was removed, so that's good.

As much as I think people would prefer a flat asking price for something like this, I don't really think there's anything inherently wrong with saying "PM me an offer." So, I'll leave this open but @tent you would probably be better off on ebay if you are trying to find out how much you can get for your build.

Sorry guys maybe I'm too naive or ignorant.. I was honestly thinking my gbz is worth some thing around 150-200 give or take but since I'm not sure didn't wanted to say how much and accept offers.. about trust well what to say? Im not a company but i suppose i can still use paypal the safe way or not? I'm not selling a brick but was thinking maybe someone here wanted a gbz but does not have skills to build it that's it.. I will try ebay then but they (as paypal actually) demand quite some provision.. my perfect sale would be in person in cash after you try and eventually like it but you know.. wishful thinking.. anyway forget it sorry.. my suggestion anyway would be you update the rules section with something like reserved for either small parts or professional sellers or no DIY parts etc?

There's actually nothing wrong with selling completed units on here, I think people were just turned off by there not being an up-front asking price. You're right though in that the rules could use some updating to reflect the sort of best-practices that people have adopted here anyway, though. :)

Good luck with your sale (sincerely, not sarcastically, haha)!
