I don't think he was implying that you do things like that

Okay... I hope not. I have bought and sold stuff for profit (like just about ever other member here has) but I would never list it 4 times what I paid.

And with this book I was trying to buy 2 at first to get one for me and another member.

Actually both. I saw the irony and I made that joke, of course he didn't know he was a member here.

Just an acid joke, nothing more.

I suppose I would say if you think I do things like buying a 2 of a super limited item and them selling one for almost 4 times what it was worth/paid for it then you are highly mis-informed and very ignorant to who I am and what I do.

I would also suggest if this is your stance provide proof of such claims if you intend to make them. I did have an auction that ran out of control but this was not my fault, I did not put a Buy it Now on that auction.


But maybe you don't mean it like that, I can't really tell.

I didn't mean it that way, that you buy 2 of everything just to resell.

I knew he was a forum member and I knew about your auction, that's why I found your post funny, that's all.

Personally I'm against these stupid resellers, if the item is limited to 15 or 40 don't be a an asshole and buy 2 just to resell, give a chance to other guys.

Okay. Sorry to get defensive I just have had enough of that being thought of me, although the only money i make right now is off selling things but still i try to be fair.

I completely agree about the book, i just got my order canceled because they sold too many and this guy has 2 and I have none.

When Irrational does these it should be a 1 per account thing.

I absolutely cannot believe they didn't limit the 15 signed versions

That is just ridiculous with such a low edition size

Guys, not sure what the whole moaning is about...I missed out on the signed edition and yes I am the one selling MY SECOND copy of the unsigned edition...first I hate like everyone else being ripped of on unthinkable ebay prices but I also had my share of having to pay the extra coins for something sold out. Saying this, and mentioning this in the past if I get the occasion to purchase two editions and can re sell one to repay the other, than be it...all I can see is that a lot of talking but in the end anyone does it to keep costs to a certain extend...

Your selling one un-signed one to pay for a signed one and the un-signed one together and making a small profit on top of that.

I originally had the same idea as you to buy one and sell on to help pay for the one I bought to keep. Key word there is to "help" pay, as in buy 2 and sell one for $60 more then I paid or so.

Not $265 more then what I paid.

But really do what you want, it is fine.

I buy things to sell too, I think the most I have ever done was almost double what I paid for it. But this depends on the item, if it was a $10 item and I got $20 for it this is different then a $200 item selling for $400 IMO.

But I won't give anymore gruff then this because i got it too for buying 2 360 Songbird Editions to part out (and I out out an offer to the forum to get one for anyone who wanted one) and I also waited until 2 days before the game launched as to not take anyone's 360 spot. I also only made around $60 in total of each one and got people the single items they wanted without needing to buy a whole edition (especially the statue, one went to Israel where the SE wasn't available at all).


Honestly if I knew it was a member I would not have posted it in here... I would have only posted it in the "overpriced" section to keep people away from it.
