Thread: Did I get Scammed or did I not P\price it right?

  1. #1

    Sad Did I get Scammed or did I not P\price it right?

    eBay - New & used electronics, cars, apparel, collectibles, sporting goods & more at low prices

    I have this pepsi clock from 1965 that i sold on ebay in less than an hour. I am worried that i got scammed even though he already paid, or is this worth that much that he paid 130 bucks that quickly. Since i have a bad feeling about this...

    Any Pepsi collectors out there with any advice...

    Looks to me like someone wanted it for what you asked. If his feedback is good and you got your money, I'd say you're on the good. It's worth to you both what you want to sell it for and what someone is willing to pay you. Looks like those two conditions were met. If you sold it for more than it cost you, then you did ok in my book. Nice piece, I can see the appeal. I do not know book values of these but the buyer obviously thought it was good deal.

    I have been doing insane amounts of research and it was actually my mothers who owned a deli in the 60's and I did not ask what to sell it for just to find out that she got offered 200 for it at one point, so... I'm screwed

    I don't know. When you put it up with your BIN price, you must have been thinking you would have been happy with the price. Be happy. You got what you wanted quickly. He got what he wanted quickly. Would you have been happier pricing it $200.00 and not selling it for a month or so??

    Your phrasing is wrong. you didn't get scammed. You maybe just sold something for less than it's value. Happens all the time, you live you learn.
    I was selling complete Spirographs few years back for $15 BINs, kept wondering why they sold in less than an hour, now I sell them for more. But nobody "scammed" me.

    Ok, sorry. I didnt really read the description.
    Regardless, your usage of the the term "scammed" is wrong.

    Yeah, I think the correct term is "You have been slimed"

    I agree, how can you have possibly have been scammed?
