[ukvac] ot:talking about postage (again)

i just bought 3 Game boy carts and had to pay £7.50 post.
The jiffy bag arrives with £1.40 postage on it.
Taking into account 60p for the jiffy bag , the guy made an extra fiver out of me.
Can anyone tell me how i'd tell if they were bootleg cartridges? they arrived flatpacked,

Hi Paul,

If they are GBA carts, check on the back for the "Nintendo" stamp in the
plastic. I got a DK Country 2 that is made by "Nintondo" !
Still works tho :/

If you bought them on Ebay then they are bootlegs (only a half joke).

I just sold 3 original GBA cartridges on ebay, but they were unboxed and the
postage was free (just a first class stamp)
I must admit when I first started ebay I thought to myself I can charge
loads for postage and so make a bit extra on the sale but then when I was
buying stuff, the postage cost would put me off bidding so I soon changed my
mind and now have free or low postage.
It still annoys me that I get charged for listing, charged for selling and
charged for accepting a paypal payment.

As an ebay shareholder - I love it!
