There you go...

Hi, there!
How 'bout a "Buy It Now" option? Provided it's still possible to offer, of course...

Best of luck...

I want to be on it if you will allow USA bidders. I tried and it wouldn't let me bid.

Caio!

Same for me... Please disable the feature which prevents international bidders from bidding!!!

Posted by Rob Young. (Member # 131) on April 27, 2013, 08:18 AM:

Well guys, truth is I'm not certain of the safest / cheapest way to ship to Europe / USA, etc.

Didn't want you to bid without being able to quote a reliable shipping fee.

Any advice on appropriate shipping type / cost would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Parcel2Go delivers a projector for 36 pounds ... If you charge actual shipping, I'd be happy :-)

Posted by Maurizio Di Cintio (Member # 144) on April 27, 2013, 08:27 AM:

I guess registered International Royal Air Parcel or whatever it is called will do. But please, let me bid first...

Posted by Vidar Olavesen (Member # 3354) on April 27, 2013, 08:29 AM:

I think if a UK person bid, it's locked and can not be changed, so please open for international :-)

Posted by Rob Young. (Member # 131) on April 27, 2013, 08:44 AM:

Guys, it looks from initial research that shipping to Norway / Italy would be around £30.00 sterling.

USA £40.00 sterling.

If you are happy with that cost of shipping, I'll open it to sales outside UK and try and find some more precise figures.

Best,

Rob.

Posted by Maurizio Di Cintio (Member # 144) on April 27, 2013, 09:06 AM:

OK!!! That's what I used to pay when buying films from Derann. Unlock, please!!!!

Posted by Rob Young. (Member # 131) on April 27, 2013, 09:24 AM:

Worldwide shipping is now listed as £40.00 for Parceforce Global Value - if one of you guys win it, I can provide a precise shipping cost before you pay.

Hope that's ok with you all?

Thanks guys and good luck!!! [Smile]

I wish all sellers would give a detailed description like yours.

Posted by Rob Young. (Member # 131) on April 28, 2013, 06:34 AM:

Hi David, if this one goes alright, I'm planning to sell a few more, so I'd just rather be honest from the start.

As we all know, film is never quite perfect, and I know I'd feel happier buying a print that someone was at least trying to be honest about.

I know that isn't really the art of great selling, buy hey, that's just me! [Smile]

Just had a look and there seems to be a lot of interest already! Wow! [Smile]

Posted by Osi Osgood (Member # 424) on April 28, 2013, 08:48 AM:

Beautiful print Rob. That's going to fetch a good price!

Posted by Keith Ashfield (Member # 741) on April 28, 2013, 09:42 AM:

Rob, please be careful with Parcelforce Global Value. I do not think it has any "Tracking" on it or "extra" insurance. This, in my opinion, is required for a print like this.

If you check back on this forum there was a problem with Global Priority being used to ship a print from UK to Italy - it was "lost" without tracking.

Fortunately I, with a little help from my Parcelforce contact, managed to "locate" the print in the Parcelforce Hub Facility. It had been there for a few weeks and wouldn't have gone anywhere because the sender had not put a return address on the parcel.

Gian nearly lost his "Jurassic Park" feature [Wink]

Good luck with the auction, it should get e very good price. [Smile]

Posted by Rob Young. (Member # 131) on May 19, 2013, 09:19 PM:

Well, without wanting to slander anyone, looks like my first super 8 feature sale turns to bullshit.

Do any of you guys actually want, or pay for this stuff?

Depressed,

Rob.

The winner is zero feedback....

Posted by Bill Rodgers (Member # 3483) on May 20, 2013, 04:25 AM:

Hi Rob,

This is exactly why the "second chance offer" option exists on eBay. So just sell it to the second highest bidder!

Hope it works out for you Rob,I just don't understand the reasoning behind bidding on an item,then backing off.

...Winbert, about to become -1! [Wink]

Posted by Winbert Hutahaean (Member # 58) on May 20, 2013, 11:37 PM:

I guess Rob knew about the second chance offer and had done it, but none of them took it.

Many second winners will not respond the second chance offer if found that the winner is zero feedback.

You can learn that on youtube.

This could be bidder sabotage since it was someone that bid a couple of days after you listed the film. If there is another copy of Terminator out there, question that seller.

The other thing is, you can send the winner an invoice and you can see their name and address. Let us know who it is and we can block them from any future attempts at bidding an item high and not paying for it.

The good news is that it is a film that will get many collectors attention so, maybe you could sell it outright in the forums for £300.00 or around there as there was interest at that price.

Posted by Hugh Thompson Scott (Member # 2922) on May 21, 2013, 01:48 AM:

Good advice from Gerald, fingers crossed.It seems to be a very popular film, so it should sell okay.

Posted by Rob Young. (Member # 131) on May 21, 2013, 04:40 AM:

Well, without going into detail, I was given a reason as to why payment wasn't being made, but as time goes on it seems less likely it will be paid for.

There are few days left before the deadline and I suppose the reason may yet be genuine.

Still, I find it frustrating as I didn't take the decision to sell prints easily and the sales are to fund something more urgent.

Posted by Paul Browning (Member # 2715) on May 21, 2013, 06:21 AM:

Hi Rob, did you put the film back on ebay? , I've still got it in my saved list .

Posted by Rob Young. (Member # 131) on May 22, 2013, 03:31 AM:

This is why it is frustrating, because the potential buyer has played a moral card, so I can't really fully dispute the sale until 32 days are up.

If he turns out to be honest, of course, I take it all back, but I just feel stuck between proverbial rock, etc. at this point, especially as I know other buyers were out there.

If I do re-list it then, it won't be until early June.

Posted by Winbert Hutahaean (Member # 58) on May 22, 2013, 10:02 AM:

No Rob, you can re-list your item now after filing the buyer as "a non payer bidder". After that you can relist or sell to the second highest bidder.

Posted by Paul Browning (Member # 2715) on June 02, 2013, 07:02 AM:

Hi Rob , what's happening with your terminator feature? . I use ebay a lot and can almost instinctively know when an over zealous bidder is not going to pay . I was watching an auction recently for a classic car , and sure enough within a week or so it was back on ebay with the start price again . As the saying goes " it ain't over till the fat man sings" .
