>order something off aliexpress>it's one of the last available>they message me and say it's out of stock>they put it back up for a higher pricefuccck this has happened to me twice now. Got any stories about the scammy second hand market?
>>11699758god damn it I wrote second hand but I meant secondary, as in resellers
>>11699758Yep. Happens to me all the time. Including>being asked to pay extra shipping with tokens>being asked to buy something else from their store to spend more>being told its because of the deals aliexpress puts on they dont get any money>being told they need more to feed their poor family.I had order and cancel 10 times once to eventually find a seller with stock to sell. Only bonus is that in most cases I get a full refund because order doesn't arrive for over 40 days or tracking simply stops working during last mile.
>>11699764man I wish they'd crack down on it, good to know I'm not crazy. I only buy from there because I'm non-US and the shipping is cheap. And they're often the last place to have stock.
>>11699758with aliexpress I never even try to buy off the lowest price sellers for any given item, most of them seem to do this without fail
>Win an ebay bid on a complete Hall of Justice for well below typical market price. I was the only one to bid on it.>Seller tells me they no longer have the item and refunds me>Reposts it as a buy it now instead of an auction a week or so laterFuck that guy so hard.
>>11699758This shit happend with:>Finally found a Shimakaze Figma from a high reputation seller>Do the same shit >>11699764Those shit never happend to me.>>11699790In my case, Shimakeze was even expensive.In the end, got her from a local seller.
>>11699758This happened to me the first (and last) time I used them. Found the figure came back in-stock at a legit place for around the same price.
>>11700008Here's an example of the shit I deal with. No regrets on having everything refunded for late delivery.
