Money Financhu Crisis / Chris sells his stuff megathread

[Depression_Begins]

$10 each. But I see some chase stickers on them and the chase ones can go for $30 or more depending on if they were retired or not. Chris probably bought them on eBay too.

Chris has a reputation of paying more for an item than it's msrp. For example, spending $425.88 on a Lego Ghostbusters set available on Lego.com for $350 with free shipping / rewards points / free promo item.

He doesn't seem to research prices before purchasing something, even if it's hundreds of dollars. Rather, impulsively buying it.

Chris has not been shipping stuff a lot more than we thought

What's the lowest % reputation you can go before eBay intervenes?

I reckon some of them will be people trying to fuck with Chris and get him banned from eBay.

It seems like the vast majority of complaints are in regards to shipping time. Chris could easily have the feedback removed if he presents the tracking number to Ebay showing it was shipped within a reasonable time frame (i.e. within 7 days of payment).

But money from sales and shipping that goes into Chris' paypal account is quickly spent and he's stuck unable to ship the items until the tugboat comes in.

You apparently don't know @yawning sneasel.

if sneasel actually gives barb money he is a fool like everyone that chris sells stuff to

 

[Mason Verger]

is Chris sweatshopping barb into making blankets? That's funny as hell.


Also, hope they save a blanket or two for when they're living in a Charlottesville park.

Chris dropped the price of the signed Snorlax to $100. Guess he found a toy he really wants now.

He doesn't look like a good vendor anyways, but I don't know if he deserves that.

The best part of this picture is that cat.

That cat just personifies everything wrong with that household. Obesity, laziness, yet still comfortable living like trash. It's adorable though. Which one of the cats is it?

Ebay is very much "the customer is always right." But as long as the seller cooperates with Ebay in conflict resolution they can actually decide if you deserve a neg-rep, so you basically have to sit on your ass and do nothing for it to get that bad. If this keeps up he will lose his selling privileges.

He could just turn around and open another account right?

It would be hilarious to see one of his major revenues close up on him.

If they’re homemade, it won’t be much more than 100 bucks for a blanket.

Hand crocheted or knitted with decent quality yarn you're looking at anywhere from $100 for a baby blanket to $300+ for a queen sized blanket. The materials alone are expensive.

Barb probably bought those from a thrift shop, though.

Some fuckin' idiot is bound to buy those blankets just so they can say they own a piece of Christory.

It's funny, I was just thinking "why buy those? They're not even christorical?" But Chris pretty much made them so by taking a creepy ass Barb picture with them.

looks like an elderly, hillbilly Vanna White.

I doubt it, he was doing very well for quite a long time. This is quite characteristic of his work ethic, getting comfortable and all. He did the same on Etsy. Very few people have qualms with Chris receiving money now. I doubt that many people care like in the past. The fervor has died down some as Chris has shown himself not to be doing anything really constructive with the money. He did the same shit during Bronycon, he didn't ship until after Bronycon even though he got the orders way before.

Except a blanket is the last thing from Chris Chan most people want. Anything that can hold dirt and odor isn't a piece of Christory I want in my house. I can believe people wanting things like medallions, the sonic totem, transformers, etc from Chris, but you'd have to be deranged to buy a blanket from the horde.

Looks like the Snorlax has already sold for $100.

lol, yeah. Some idiot actually did shell out $200 for a blanket from Chris a few weeks ago because it was "Christory." It's why Chris and Barb are taking a shot at listing the other blankets.

One of the blankets sold.

And the buyer is the same one who bought the $200 blanket a few weeks ago.

 

[Mason Verger]

Fucking guy can move blankets like a Navajo gift shop.
