That feedback system is shit tbh. You cant take it seriously. It says nothing.

Just like reviews on Amazon/Newegg/any site with reviews, they say nothing also?

I'll give you the fact that a Twitter length message isn't sufficient for a review, for feedback does a lot. I've never bought anything from someone under 95%, and if they are under 99% I'm asking questions before I purchase, and never had a problem buying anything, or getting screwed on a purchase.

Common sense goes a long way.

Anyone not over 99% feedback on eBay can't be trusted.
Well ppl can falsely give bad feedbacks from simply not reading b4 purchasing or buy upon assumptions. If your trust standards are too high then Ebay may not be a good place for you.
Ebay has good customer service so even if you get scammed they will work with you on getting your money back. I'm still on 100% only b/c I haven't gotten an edgy buyer yet.
There are 100% fb scammers out there aswell, I was scammed for pre ordering a PS4. Once I noticed he kept restocking his listing I knew I got screwed.
But yeah aside from that never buy new consoles or microSD cards from Ebay i don't care what the feedback score is

Hmm, one question though, why is this in Hacking & Homebrew section? I think this should be in Console...& whatever it is.

It's more relevant here as this pertains to people selling the screen/main console body specifically. The vast majority of people buying these will be people buying two, to shelve the one they have on <=3.0.0, and keep playing games.

Speaking of fake:

Switch 99€?!

Do not trust
Website 14 days old, Domain holder protected, no business address. I feel real sorry for anyone who falls for that scam tbh.

The worst bit is they will most likely get away with a fair amount before disappearing, legally shit like this should count as theft not have to go through fraud bullshit that gives them plenty of time to vanish.

  • realtimesave @ realtimesave:
    they need to have a strong line up on the launch titles too. I think they should move metroid prime 4 to the next console because by now it has been quite a while and there's no release date scheduled yet
  • realtimesave @ realtimesave:
    lol there's a guy selling mig switch in usa on ebay for $200/ea he's definitely going to get nailed with dmca by tomorrow
  • ZeroT21 @ ZeroT21:
    Wasn't Metroid Prime 4 teased all the way back in 2017? For the switch no less?
    :rofl2:
  • ZeroT21 @ ZeroT21:
    Pretty sure anyone buying the switch just for that got duped
  • realtimesave @ realtimesave:
    for $200? rofl.
  • realtimesave @ realtimesave:
    well as far as metroid prime 4 is concerned, the next system probably is similar enough to the current gen they can probably easily just slap it onto a next gen cart and call it good :P
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    The switch was about 350 in 2017

    Nintendo president Tatsumi Kimishima took the stage at the outset to reveal that Switch will launch globally on March 3, 2017 for $299.99—earlier than some had expected at the price many suspected. https://time.com/4632820/nintendo-switch-nx/
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    The 3DO and Neo Geo where like 700 bucks hmm the PS3 was stupid expensive at launch lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    But at least the PS3 was only 500 for the cheapest one at launch
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    My opinion is that 199.99 is the sweet spot but that spot is long gone lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Just played some Micheal Jackson Moonwalker.... Those poor parents trying desperately to protect their children
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    400 is a decent sweet spot if we get enough out of it

    It's not like how it was when we were locked down to a few options and that's it
