Well this sucks

[TRC-911]

I have been wanting this model boombox (Pioneer SK-550) for at least 8 years,
I don't have the funds in my account after buying my textbooks for college, so I asked if he could hold the box until the 2nd of Sept and get payment then, he replied yes
BUT
then he bumped the price up to $50
THis doesn't sit well with me

NO BID FOR YOU says the soup nazi

:'-( More holding out I suppose

 

[Fatdog]

Just out of curiosity, what was the original starting bid?

 

[TRC-911]

$40
but it's the fact that he changed it right after I asked about it

right find the money - pay him off - forget about the price - put it all behind you - and start loving the box that you have been waiting for 8 years for

so what if it cost a little more - so what if the seller is a BEEP* - it's just money in the end(i know not easy to say) but you will have the box you wanted

just check it's all working and in a good enough condition for you to accept

good luck bro

I can hold out if I need to, I don't like dealing with sellers that do that

Ebay is getting bad recently

And the prices are $$$ best to just stick with everyone here, there is an electro brand on the bay for $899
I paid $80 for my HaroldKumar boombox

 

[TRC-911]

I would pay the $60 but $70 is a lot because I am a full time student with a lesser income than a non student

 

[MONOLITHIC]

You obviously don't want the box as bad as you said you do... Perhaps in another 8 years,...

 

[TRC-911]

I dont have $70 is the problem
maybe he will relist if it doesnt sell

 

[BENDYCAT]

flip a coin to find out that answer

you can always make money when yer need to

what can you sell
what jobs can you do to raise quick cash - wash cars - cut grass(lawns not the green ) fix things - walk dogs -
sell stuff to your mates - beg your mates to see if they can help you
sell your body down the docks/shipyard
why don't you pm him back and see if he will take a near offer ?

8 years - you got to push and try harder or it will be another 8 years

Hey bro, the fact your in school and have priorities is a positive thing. HEADS UP, the older you get your going to have more priorities and your BILLS are going to be way more EXPENSIVE!!!!!!!!! This is not a CHEAP hobby, most of of us usually buy our boxes with C R E D I T, and then pay off the debt in due time. This is reality, sometimes you have to pay a bit more than you want to get what you want. I hope you get that BOX............ But $10, he's doing you a favour.

WOW!

The important thing is that you have enough $ to make it through college. After that it gets easier.

 

[baddboybill]

with the guys, you only live once. That Pioneer is definetly worth the $50 good luck man

I just bought an 8gb Ipod touch from my niece for $60-came with a belkin case
surfing the internet with it after unlocking it-she found it in the gymnasium at her high scool last year and just found it cleaning her closet out

I will try and hold my trigger finger back on this auction.I couldn't pass the ipod up-can't wait for payday though

 

[blu_fuz]

I just checked it out, I would pass on it fully working or not. It has a good chunk missing off the front, the back is melted .

bummer he jacked the price up

 

[BENDYCAT]

link?

auction ended

Glad to hear you're in school, improving your education. $50 seems a bit too good to be true for a good box. If it's your special radio then, I understand. Students struggle and I feel ya. But, You are lucky the seller is willing to hold it for you even if He/She raised the price $10 more. It is afterall, a business (ePay vending) and I can understand that the vendor must wait for a payment, the seller will want to make it worth his time. He could've sold it to anyone else anyway. Ask yourself, what's more Collectable/Rarer? An iPod? Or the Pioneer? Hell, I'd mow a lawn, or sell some blood plasma if I needed the box that bad. What's the going rate for a Kidney on the black market nowadays? (Kidding)

I've done medical studies in the past, no joke....

16 days inpatient pays $3,700


I'm totally normal, no side effects whatsoever

Well said Adam and I agree.
I also understand the money thing and the lack of can make this seem really bad but for the points THAFUZZ made it really still is a pretty decent buy especially considering your desire for that model.

Good luck and I hope you eventually get your 550 even if it's not this one.
