Ebay roxorz my boxorz

Post by sniper_spike »

Sorry for the "l33t" in the title, but it really does.

Four hours ago I spotted an amazing deal on ebay, with 4 hours left of course. It was a Psone, AND, thats right, AND a PSone screen. Get this, it was only $25(US)! But as any American ebay seller, this one didn't bother to list a pirce for shipping to Canada, even though Canada was listed as a place (s)he would ship to. I then throw him a message inquiring on this and come back to My Ebay with 1 hour left will still no reply!! :? After several seconds of pondering I decide to risk it, as I supposed I could have it shipped to a friend down in the US and Fedex'ed back to me if the shipping was outrageously outrageous.

With 20 seconds left so as not to cut it too close I took a quick $31 snipe.

And here is the end result :)

Even if it turns out to be like 12 shipping. It's still gonna be way cheeper than trying to find the PSOne screen in Canada.

When I built my PSOneP I managed to find a Canadian seller but because it was the the origonal box (aprox. the same size as a small car) the shipping charges even within Canada totaled it up to like $70 CAD... but it was worth it.
