Hi, I'm new. Looking to sell...

[Cauthan]

Hi, I just joined. I was curious if I could post an ad for the sale of my PSP? I wanted to make sure it was ok before I actually did so.

I've tried ebay, and they cancled my auction (twice).
I've tried craigslist, no responses.
I've tried bulletins on myspace.
I've gone so far as to ask the ghetto kids in my apartment complex (I live in the ghetto).
I've gone to pawn shops, they didnt offer me shit.

Nothing has bared fruit. So, I am curious if I could post an ad for the sale of my PSP in the forums. If I can, in which catagory would I post it it?

I'm trying to sell my PSP because I don't use it anymore, and I want to get a bigger monitor for my PC.

My email from eBay included this:

"eBay prohibits the listing of unauthorized copies of copyrighted works. Unauthorized copies include (but are not limited to) backup, pirated, duplicated, or bootlegged copies.

Guideline: If the product you are selling is a copy of another work that you aren't authorized to copy, don't list the item. eBay prohibits the sale of items that can copy or create a backup of video games, including:
- mod chips
- softmods
- game enhancers
- boot discs

These devices are designed to bypass copyright security systems, allowing users to produce unauthorized copies of games. This is against the law and violates the rights of the copyright owner."

I had to be a dick and point out two points:

1.) CD/DVD-ROM/Burners can be used to "copy or create a backup of a video game." If you are going to follow your policy, then you can no longer allow auctions of CD/DVD-ROM/Burners, otherwise you are a hypocrite.

2.) Modchips dont infringe on copywrite protection. The moment a game is copied is when infringement takes place. Mr. Modchip over in the UK just wont a lawsuit, and had 26 indictments dropped against him because of this ruling.

I was not selling any "copies" of games. I was selling 5 LEGIT UMD movies, and 2 LEGIT UMD games, and 3 4GB memory sticks, which were FRESHLY FORMATED. There was no copywrited info on memory sticks.

Haha, I am in the same boat...I reposted on Ebay, not stating custom firmware...maybe that will work...When a buyer buys, I will offer custom firmware and stuff for a little extra :P

Worse thing...i keep the psp and sell something else, like my DS...ahaha...rather have the PSP anyways.
