SSK for 236.55 which is an oddly specific price.

shipped.

Not too bad, comes with SDL cord to PS2 and adapter.

which is an oddly specific price.

I have done that sort of thing. Decide what real amount you want to walk away with and add shipping, ebay fees, Paypal fees, and sales tax to produce a specific sales price.

That said, most people would round up to an even dollar, or 5, or 10.

I was thinking it was probably with shipping included, since it is free for the buyer.

Very short auction, the guy seems to want to be red of it today.

It is quite discouraging when you put ion paper. A large flat rate game board box goes for about $18 domestic, $80 international. Ebay charges 10% plus a few more points (each) if you opt for things like "featured" listings, reserve prices, etc. Paypal gets 3%, and there may or may not be sales tax, depending on .... reasons.

So that $236 that you pay will really be something like $180 in the seller's pocket when the dust settles.

Several years ago I wrote a near dissertation-length post on my thoughts on selling on ebay.

Was a good read.    https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=51443.0

And this listing is actually $249, a nice "round" number, but there's an eBay 5% off thing going on which gets the weird price.

I thought that sounded familiar, I read it before I joined. It was very interested, especially as I buy on ebay alot, and it explains a lot of things.

the price has also gone down again: 229 now and he's reset his auction timer yet again.
