Ah, so he relisted again. It is in good shape - but the seller's an asshole. I made a reasonable offer, then got permanently banned from bidding on his items without explanation.

[andrewjoy]

That is a dick move, hey guy who wants to buy my thing , your not allowed to buy my thing.

What a tit!

[mr_a500]

I wonder why he even has a "Make an Offer" option if he freaks out so much when you actually make an offer.

[Muirium]

Ebay at its finest.

You don't get 100% positive feedback like that if you let any pleb do business with you. Let alone Canadians!

[andrewjoy]

I am going to offer him 1$ to piss him off.

[mr_a500]

Please do. I was going to, but I'm banned.

[Muirium]

If he figures out where you're from Andy, the banhammer couldn't swing fast enough!

Spoiler:

[andrewjoy]

Please do. I was going to, but I'm banned.

Done

Man, that shipping. I'd like to make an even lower offer, where he pays…

[mr_a500]

You're going to be banned so fast, your head will spin.

The keyboard is very nice, but overpriced. I've bought four of those, each time in the $25-35 range. (one was free)

I'm not super cheap though. I was willing to go as high as $50... but then he banned me.

[seebart]

All he's got two are two mediocre keyboards for sale, boring stuff. Who cares.

Fuck him, not arsed, don't want to do business with a man like that.

i would rather do business with nice people

Ha! That reminds me of SCTV "The Grapes of Mud", where a guy gets a job "dusting crops" (with a feather duster) and asks what it pays. The boss says, "Well, I can start you at a penny a day. The day after that it goes down to a half penny... and the day after that, you have to pay ME!"

[klikkyklik]

LOL! SCTV rules!

Someone's just being kind because I might have some nice keyboards for sale soon.

(Seriously, though: thanks.)

[Blaise170]

Whenever I list items for offer I'll get idiots who offer me $5 for something but I don't ban them from bidding, I just decline their offer. There is a right way and a wrong way to do business.

[XMIT]

I ban people from bidding on my auctions when they do something unreasonable, like threatening legal action because I ask them to pay for return shipping on an item they are returning, even though the auction said "buyer pays return shipping".

eBay/PayPal are moving in the direction of requiring sellers to offer and pay for returns, Amazon too. They favor buyers over sellers. Anything to get more fees their way.

So, please: buy here, and not on eBay.

[Muirium]

People can only buy where the item is for sale.

So, please, everyone: sell here, and not on ebay!

[Blaise170]

I sell here and GH but unfortunately eBay is a larger market for me so I list there too. I block bidders who are unreasonable in other ways. Just recently for example, I got a negative feedback because an item I shipped was lost by Fedex and demanded a return because it arrived late.

[seebart]

So, please, everyone: sell here, and not on ebay!

1A+ (and I generally don't compliment our scotty)

[Muirium]

I got a negative feedback because an item I shipped was lost by Fedex and demanded a return because it arrived late.

I want his refund too! I'll give you negative feedback! And get your PayPal locked! Mwahahahah.

(On DT, this is joke. On Ebay, you are.)

I can't find much on Memorex, but those could be Space Invader switches. Connector looks like either 180-degree or 240-degree 5-pin DIN, so I'd imagine it'd work with a Soarer's. Slightly yellowed, so the case will be ABS, and the caps will almost certainly be PBT. Spacebar might be ABS, but it's probably the same material as the rest of the caps. And for 35 bucks BIN, that'd be an awfully good price on a Space Invader keyboard. I'd be tempted to scoop it up, just to see what it is, if I knew what the shipping to Canaderp would be. Since you're in Romania, though, it'd probably be wise to wait and see if anyone else here can shed some more light on this keyboard before dropping however much dosh on shipping across the pond. Just my two cents.

[Crazy Canadian XXIV]

Doublepost because I'm a complete idiot. This space intentionally pointless.

[andrewjoy]

For some reason ebay wont let me contact the seller

[Muirium]

Your ban was further reaching than you anticipated, naughty boy!

...

Memorex Telex is either rubber dome or Hi-Tek, but I wouldn't take the risk on this one without more pictures, especially of the label.
