I'll just say this:

It is unfortunate and irritating that scalping and reselling has reached the scale it has (Ex: Hannah Montana). However, I don't blame the resellers one bit. I blame the people who PAY those outrageous sums...and then ---smurfette--- about it. It's the same thing with gas prices. There are people who ---smurfette--- and moan about gas all while they put $80 into their V8 SUV.

If you want reselling and scalping to stop, its actually pretty simple: DON"T BUY!!! You'd be amazed at how quick scalping and reselling would stop if there was a boycot of purchasing from them.

What's this Hanna Montana stuff? 

EDIT:  ah, google shows concert ticket scalping problem.  That happened with the Wiggles too.

So, best I can tell, some guys went to some comic book show and bought some board game and resold it to people that didn't make it to the show, and you're mad about it?

Again, I defer to my first remark on this story:

lol wut?

What's wrong with that?  Gonna call the wahbulance?

Why would i be mad about a game i dont care for?  my point is sure there is nothing stopping someone from buying and reselling things (stores do this) but there is a point when such practices become something you shouldnt brag about on a forum where people might be looking for this product.

concerning the game the people selling them werent allowing people to buy more than one.  he went out of his way to get a second just to resell.  he wasnt doing anyone any favors.

what if you go to a store and the item you wanted was sold out because the employees bought them all to resell on ebay.

I agree 100%

I am going to end up putting the price down, to move the item.  But not till the last week of Christmas shopping.

And there is nothing wrong with my attitude.  I am pissed off that people think they can tell me what to do with MY item.

I can sell it for as much or as little as i wish.

Truth is, ill probably end up giving it to a friend for cost.  However, i only have one...  So i wont be giving it up till im ready.

And if someone is willing to offer me the ridiculous amount i have posted it up for, then i will give it to them and my friend is out of luck.

And...   I am not bragging.  My anger is provoked by BS responses, thinking that they know best.  Anyone who can read the thread and remain impartial (Isn’t a parent looking for one of these things) can see that.

Perhaps i am POOR and NEED the money to help my family.  Does this make you people feel better ?  I think that’s what your concerned about.  I couldnt care less about how you guys feel about the selling of my item.

I just thought this whole thing would be funny / fun to do.  I truly didn’t expect it to go this far and the desperation to be this bad.  BUT, I will not allow that to affect my selling decision.

At least I only have one of these things.  Not 20.  However, the reactions of you people are making me want to go out and buys more  in defiance ;-p

Let the thread die.

Zakk:
bump.
