Its more of the fact that he's selling something that he bought on tdub and was called out. That's the way I see it. Besides, he prolly won't resell it on tdub, but he can sell it someplace else since tdub's classifieds is brutal.

no, I think people are mad because he's not actually offering anyone a service hereif he had simply not bought the gift card, someone could have bought it for 1100$ and saved 409$ instead of 259$I would wager that very few people value his services as a money-grubbing vulture at 259$, capitalism or not if I had any interest in this card I'd arrange to meet him anonymously, punch him in the teeth, and leave a check for 1100$ on his unconcious body, and maybe a handful of feces in his mouthP.S. when an economic system rewards zero productivity, that's not an economic system "at work," that's it "failing right before your eyes"
3/15/2006 3:31:56 AM
^ he performed the service when the original seller was asking for an immediate sale and didnt troll like u worthless fucks who instead of bidding at least 1250 decided to fill this thread with bullshit about how you are upset that you dont have 1300 dollars in the bank to buy it from it.

quit crying you fucking poor shits

^^^so, punch the teeth out of all business owners who buy something for one price and sell it for another. walk into any resturant and punch the teeth out of the owner for charging $1.39 for a 10 cent cup of soda. [Edited on March 15, 2006 at 9:30 AM. Reason : ]

Gotta understand Kibong that this is tdub, mostly filled with bored college kids with no money, who bitch a lot (I do it too), troll and lerk on the forums just because they can. Atleast when I do get on Tdub, I'm at work just to pass the time.
3/15/2006 9:47:23 AM
pcmsmurf..just go sell it on criagslist..
3/15/2006 10:17:56 AM
or buy yourself a nice tv
3/15/2006 10:23:59 AM
a bunch of whiners b/c they didn't hop on it first - stfu
3/15/2006 11:03:07 AM
^^^he's already selling it on craigslist.
3/15/2006 11:23:08 AM
sounds like a bunch of you are really just pissed at yourselves for not jumping on it when you could have gotten it for $1100 and DONE THIS EXACT SAME THINGgg fellas
3/15/2006 11:40:57 AM
i was gonna do it myself but didn't have the cash in the bank at the moment so i passed.i am not crying and my vagina is NOT wet.
3/15/2006 11:48:51 AM
jbaz i know what happens on here but i will say that it is really ridiculous for when people whom are bored to try and talk down to those who make money and things...
3/15/2006 11:57:08 AM
tell that to the rest of the world...
3/15/2006 12:35:02 PM
yeah its not like the proposition is risk and labor free. he had to sink $1100 of his money in it, money alot of (probably most of) the people here don't have. he has to risk the chance that the card isn't real, or that dude could use it after the sale. he had to invest the time in picking it up etc and dropping it off. its not like this is risk-free passive income or anything.people just like to knock it because they don't have that kind of money to sink into something...its like real estate on a lower scale. buy something, resell it for a higher price. capitalism works.
3/15/2006 1:17:10 PM
the bad idea wasn't buying and reselling it. the bad idea was buying it and immediately trying to resell it on HERE
3/15/2006 1:17:57 PM
^bingo.
3/15/2006 1:22:19 PM
http://raleigh.craigslist.org/for/141898359.htmlthats only like 7% discount....you can sign up for a best buy credit card and get better than that...but hey, go for it...
3/15/2006 2:13:55 PM
3/15/2006 3:16:16 PM
If he'll accept a $100 win, I'll give him $1200 for it, but if he is being an ass about making $50 more, then it ain't going to happen.
3/15/2006 3:23:58 PM
i'm sure he'll do better on CL/eBay anyway
3/15/2006 4:34:14 PM
the fees on ebay won't be worth doing it.[Edited on March 15, 2006 at 5:56 PM. Reason : feeds]

put it on ebaythe first person was stupid not to[/thread]
3/15/2006 6:01:53 PM
3/15/2006 6:02:52 PM
what is the % for 1250 bucks?
3/15/2006 7:10:04 PM
Pretty sure at that point it'd be better just to set a reserve, I think reserves are flat
3/15/2006 8:46:03 PM
the fees are nothing compared to his profit
3/15/2006 9:29:08 PM
well if he sells thru ebay and takes paypal payment, hes paying 8%-9% in fees so that eats up a huge chunk of his profit
3/15/2006 10:20:44 PM
I wouldn't buy a bestbuy gift card from Ebay. You don't know if it's fake or not.
3/15/2006 10:34:00 PM
The thing is, the guy who wanted cash for this at the beginning asap, said $1100 but psmsurf could have offered $1000 or $1050 and got it for that.
3/15/2006 10:52:21 PM
^ nope
3/15/2006 10:58:24 PM

3/16/2006 8:44:19 AM
SOMEONE COULD SAVE 9 DOLLARS!
3/16/2006 9:10:03 AM
^hell yah! thats like 2 free meals at wendies!
3/16/2006 2:23:25 PM
since i had more interest than i previously thought first person with $1350 will get it immediatelypm bids are already getting close to this
3/16/2006 2:55:42 PM
hahahaha...it should def be required to post who's bidding $1300 for it. it's easy to say "oh, ya, pm bid for $blah blah blah" just to jack up the price.
3/16/2006 3:22:09 PM
ok
3/16/2006 3:31:33 PM
^^what difference would it make? if you're not willing to bid more than the "fake jacked-up price", don't bid.
