You're the unlucky guy in completed listings that everyone is going to look at and say "Why could I get it that cheap?". You probably picked a week no players were looking for a copy and collectors decided it wouldn't be worth the effort to track down a manual/card to complete it regardless of how cheap it was.

You know what? I’ve had people tell me, more than once, “if you didn’t have bad luck you’d have no luck at all”. 

Is the above proper use of commas? 


 

Yes, your comma usage here is fine; this would fall under nonrestrictive clause. An example sentence for this could be "My dog, who is brown, is an excellent runner."
 

It's an appositive sentence. Additional info is added within the commas, however that information is not entirely necessary for the sentence to still make sense. It's bonus info.

Surely one of us is more right than the other but I can't tell which: https://www.grammarly.com/blog/using-that-and-which-is-all-a...
 

I believe I am rightester than you. (That's totally a word, don't bother looking it up   )
 
More rightlier, as it were.

What's your opinion on the demise of the Oxford Comma?
 
I'll be using that one until the end. To me it not only makes sense but looks wrong without it in the cases, scenarios, and instances where I use it. They can't take it away from me; I need something to hold on to. ]]> How badly did I overvalue this item? http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=3&threadid=188337 2019-08-15T13:33:08 -05.00 skinnygrinny 20 Originally posted by: skinnygrinny

I assume that it didn't go below shipping at least, so that's good I guess. Selling on Ebay is already a rip-off as it is.

I still don't know how people are selling shipping non-auction games for less than $5 and still make profit.
Selling on eBay takes a decent cut out after all the fees and shipping cost. 

I try to sell local. Pricing my stuff at nearly what I’ll make after fees selling on eBay but it’s rare someone will buy from me. I’ll price stuff that sells for $25 on eBay for $15 local and no one touches it.

Ebay auctions have gone pretty drastically both ways for me.

One week I'll get $40 for a beat up Player's Choice Mario 64 (well over what I expected to get for it), and the next I'll get $2 for Resident Evil 4 on PS2.
This happens to me too.
