its aggravated me, but theres nothing actually *wrong* with it, so i dont care to complain.

I only grouse about it when it comes up here in OT, but there's a good reason I haven't posted any hot deals in a long time, and it's not because I haven't found any.
 
It's all about knowledge. I know where to find item X for Y price and you don't. I sell it for Y + P which is still less than retail price and you think you made off with a great deal. I pocket P. No big deal life has a great deal to do with knowledge. You can graduate high school and get an A+ and maybe eventually move up to a network admin position after 8 years, or I can go to college and get a nework admin right out of college.

WTF ever. Do you understand michael dell probably literally makes a $1000 every second. He'll, he makes more taking a sh1t than I will in a year.

I fail to believe that Michael Dell makes $31,536,000,000 a year. So no, he literally DOESN'T make $1000 every second. He probably doesn't even make $100 every second... and it would probably be a safe bet to say that he probably doesn't make $10/sec. either.

I find the whole thing stupid. He cried because he missed out on $1000, while he f**ked over every hot deals visitor for what may have equated to millions by being one of the reasons that true hot deals are few and far between now. F**k him.

Ok, I'm going to take time to address this.

Dell has a fire sale. Lets call it that. Pricing error, EOY blowout, WHATEVER.

100 people order 1.

I order 20.

What's wrong with that? Lets say they cancel my 20 but give everyone else their 1. Is that fair? I didn't F every HD visitor, if thats what you believe in because if they sell to one, they sell to everybody, right?

There have been MANY times where everyone in HD ordered 1 of an item and I ordered a dozen. Did I get my dozen? No. Did everyone else? Yeah. So by that basis of reasoning, I can claim that everyone in HD ****** me because they ordered stuff and cut me out of my order for 12! Does that sound fair to you?

The money's out there and all I did was grab it.

Read my above response and think about what you said again.

Nik has it right, as usual.

To everyone else: if you look closely, in the middle of the thread someone posted something useful!
 
You're moving pallets of stuff from Dell, and you're excited over $1k check? I called in to cancel my iXPS2 at the time, and they cut me a check for $300 if i kept it.

And yeah, it appears SA did not like the dell story.
