hey, I calculated the cost on amazon without shipping (I get supersaver free shipping on everything) and while the games do equal about $140, I wouldn't save anything buying in bulk from you when there are maybe only 6 or 7 games I would play. Usually in bulk, it's discounted quite a bit. If I were to trade in the rest, I would probably get like $15 from gamestop. So good luck with a buyer or let me know if you drop the price in the future if you can't sell them.

thanks! Dan.

saulbadguy, how does it feel I sold 50 ssbb's in 9 days clearing $500, when you said I would never be able too??? It's probably eating you up inside!

yes so they took the easy way out and sold out the people.

Inflation = the result of greed.. I spend $50 at whole foods, and have only about 8 items or less.. That's robbery. You guys don't make me feel worse, only show me that I have to keep doing what I do (and i'll work harder than ever now) so cheap snobs like you can't get what they want.

It's the gift that keeps on giving, folks.

I get you man, you have a dead end job making minimum wage and you are too tired/lack intelligence to start an ebay business. fear not, minimum wage is going up soon, not that it will really help you since it will just cause more inflation.

You really do remind me of criminals that I have met in the past. I personally knew a few people which would steal very regularly. Every single one of them made up some ridiculous justifications to convince themselves that what they were doing is perfectly fine because there are others out there which are like them or worse and they didn't give a crap about how what they were doing is hurting others. All they cared about was themselves. These people are scum. I really do not understand how you bring yourself down to such a level.

oh so you run in the same circles as criminals.

the difference between me and you is that I do everything LEGALLY.
I don't really give a shit about your ethics or care for your pomposity.

:yawn;

I knew a few who did this in college. It's no secret that college life exposes you to a great many people, but that was years ago.

Obviously you do not give a shit which is exactly my point. You do not care about how what you do hurts many people as long as it is legal and it makes you money. That makes you a really shitty person in my book and the books of many others. The only thing which is making you feel better about the situation are the same kinds of left field justifications that criminals use to make themselves feel better about their crimes. There is no difference other than the fact that there is a written law which says you cannot do such a thing. Do you really need laws to be written out for you in order to become a considerate person towards those around you including strangers? Please tell me that you do not need your hand to be held by the government like that...

 

[CasioTech]

I follow the letter of the law and anyone who opposes me in that regard is just another bitter, spiteful person

shouldn't you be playing with your wiifit or did you sell it on ebay already?

It's sitting at home waiting for me to get home from work.

Anyways, I've ranted and raved enough in this thread about ethics which has obviously gone off on the deep end as a result of how I feel about people that put money too high up on the totem pole of priorities. I'll end this just by saying that I realize Nintendo is the main reason to blame for the Wii Fit shortage, but it would be much more considerate if you just didn't take advantage of that problem by throwing fuel into the fire for a few bucks. All I ask is that you try thinking a little harder about others instead of thinking about your wallet. There are tons of really good ways to make profit on Ebay. Surely you can make a ton of money in your business while avoiding these kinds of trades out of respect for others.

Got all the info from paypal. CT, not everyone buying your stuff on ebay is really looking for a Wii Fit.

Since you can put a dollar amount on time, I guarantee my time is worth more than your time on eBay.

I'MM SOOOO SCAREEEEEEEEEEEED , make sure you get my social while you're at it. THen you can make a legal identity for yourself.


I remember the little kids crying on gamespot forums when I said I did the same thing for wiis during the holidays but they were mostly 8-12 years old, I guess as you guys reach your 30's and 40's, the same jealous mentality applies. Keep telling yourselves that you're SO HIGH MORALLED, if it helps you sleep at night, or helps get you out of debt.

the best part is, how many families cry they were foreclosed because their kids were put out on the streets, but nobody mentions that they used their house as an ATM machine to cash out hundreds of thousands in equity they had no intention of repaying, getting phony interest only loans. Now the gov't is using your tax dollars to bail out the banks because millions of families committed mortgage scams and the banks allowed it because they win both ways!

 

[purbeast0]

Queasy you should just lock this thread (and rid of CT again while you are at it )

 

[CasioTech]

i agree wiht the thread lock, it's gone way OT.

 

[RESmonkey]

Stop bashing on CasioTech.
Some of you seem real jealous on him having what you can't find.

 

[ManBearPig]

This is an interesting thread.

You know, i understand where CT comes from, but also everything you other guys are saying too.

I personally wouldn't do what he does, because I'm a lazy ass, and also because i feel like its a bit immoral. However, at the end of the day he makes money, and the people who have money get what they want.

I've been on the other end of people like him too...what a pain it has been several times for me when people buy a product i want and then end up selling it on eBay, which causes me a lot more trouble and wastes my time.

Weird...I'm 50/50 on this.

Question: do some of you oppose what he is doing only because you don't like him? He doesn't seem very likable (at least from what i have read in this thread (maybe because hes on the defensive) and a few others), so i could see that happening. But he has a point.

What he's doing is artificially inflating prices possibly out of the range of some customers. THIS is wrong. Those 2, 3, 10, 20 people now have children/family/friends that can not benefit in whatever entertainment/pseudo-fitness way they would have been able to had he not been a greedy bastard and allowed regular paying customers buy the product.

That said, unfortunately, if you get rid of CasioTech, there's ten more assholes waiting in line to do the same thing. My heart doesn't bleed for them the day Nintendo opens the floodgates and there's product for everybody and these jerks are sitting on 5 or 6 WiiFits that they'll have to sell at cost/loss.

I'm going to say in summary, people like CasioTech should grow a conscience and stop ripping people off. But they won't, because the power of greed is greater than the power to actually help people.

[CasioTech]

do you think I give a shit about some spoiled ass kids? Honestly... When I was growing up, I DIDN'T HAVE the latest trends or shit which has no meaning in life.

again, 1 cent auctions. I'm WILLING to give them away FOR ONE CENT! none of you would do that. So it's the people who snipe others and prevent them for having it for ONLY ONE CENT! Those must be the greedy, cold hearted bastards hahahaha. ONE CENT!

ps, if the things don't make profit, I'll just return them within 90 days. And nintendo will never make enough of anything anymore, it's all part of their scam. You think people would look at the wii twice if it was as readily available at launch as the GC was? Absolutely not, it would BOMB like the GC. The wii has a horrid library which will not get better anytime soon. At least the GC was a very Powerful console for it's time and had a very balanced library of games. ONE CENT!

You just don't get it do you? You're hoarding something, driving up the price in your area. Wiifit isn't a necessity and what you're doing is perfectly legal (your one saving grace) but you're simply exploiting the system for your own benefit. I can definitely see karma coming to bite you in the ass. You won't come here to tell us your tragedy but you'll know and that's all that matters.

EDIT: I like how you try to pass the blame onto Nintendo, calling it a scam. At least we know you have a conscience, but yours is a criminal mentality, always trying to blame someone else for what you do. Be a man and be responsible for your own actions.

Speaking of scams. :roll:

By the by, if the Wii is as bad as you claim it is, why are you supporting it by buying (and reselling) Nintendo's product?

One cent my ass. I seriously doubt you'd ship it out if one of your auctions closed at one cent. You'd probably make up some lame excuse, retract the sale and refund the penny and take the neg - because you just don't care.

 

[CasioTech]

By the by, if the Wii is as bad as you claim it is, why are you supporting it by buying (and reselling) Nintendo's product?

because what's good and what sells are two completely different things. I'd sell 360/ps3 games but there is no money to be made. At least not nearly as much as for Wii/GC/PS2

It's also extremely hard to find cheap 360 game bundles as I do GC/PS2 where I pay $1-3 a game.

 

[FuryofFive]

im suprised this thread is stilll open with all these moral people...who cares, seriously
get a life.sitting on a forum arguing with a man ull never meet.trying to justify ur stance...remember there are at least 100 million people who feel the way u do, but arent here whining about.
would you not buy porn,because most people believe it is immoral to sleep around..hence what there doing...but its perfectly legal...should we get on them.. give it a break already

You are not selling them for one cent and that is all that matters. You are taking it off of a controlled market and placing it somewhere which results in the price being driven up.

You also have no right to act as the person who decides what people should and should not have. Nor do you have the right to say what does and doesn't hold meaning in someone else's life.

You are just hiding behind these false justifications to make yourself feel better which is exactly what criminals do when they commit crimes that negatively effect the lives of others.
