According to your logic, my brother who bought my current house back then for $80K and then sold to to me for $150K ripped me off too.
Nevermind that the house is worth >$200K when he sold it to me.
Since he bought it for only $80K, he shouldn't sell it for anymore than that.

So the laptop sells for $1700+ on the market right now.
I sell it to my friend for $950 and I'm ripping him off.
Make sense to me.

You would do well in the business world.

Yeah because ripping off friends and family is part of the "business world". :laugh:

No, you're just a dumbsh!t.

More proof you're a lowlife

Exactly, its all starting over again.
Because all you guys are saints.

My sister pays me $650 in rent where she would pay alot more living somewhere else.
Because my mortage is $547, I should be charging her $300.

I live in the real world, do you ??

And about the Bestbuy laptop.
Its not like I bought the most overpriced laptop and had her paid for it.
The $599 Gateway 3707 is one of the best deal for a 14" laptop.
Its loaded and stylish.

I also unistalled all the pre-loaded craps and loaded for the neccesary softwares for her.
I charged her exactly what it cost at Bestbuy.
Because I got Bestbuy GC at a discount, I'm ripping her off ?

Shoots where I live, the people list their items higher than retail lol. They want $600-$800 for a P4 with 256MB of memory and a 60GB hard drive.

Yep, not bad for $500 with no rebate hassles. Get a $40 off coupon and help kill some tax..unless you live in OR. ;)

<--- 0% sales tax FTW

Gotta love ordering from Dell, Amazon, it's always $0 sales tax :heart:
