Mod Edit - Getting your thread closed in FS/FT should have been a clue. Don't post in G[H] complaining about the moderation. B.B.S.

cool beans! thanx for the heads up :rolleyes:
 
... And you're probably wondering why your thread was closed in the first place. :rolleyes:

(Besides posting this in the wrong forum, for starters...) If you look at most of the posts in the FS/FT forum, you would probably realize that the prices for most items -- yes, even the "new in box" items -- are below the "suggested" retail price. ("Suggested" being what you would pay at a B&M store, or, these days, online.) Most people realize that others are looking for ways to get stuff for much less than they could get at the store, online, or even on eBay. So while it's nice that you provided us with a "discount" compared to whatever was posted elsewhere, most of us have heard that spiel before -- when the XBOX 360 came out last year.

If I were you, I'd be thankful that the moderator was nice enough to only lock the thread. I've seen people get banned here for doing less, but you're really not helping yourself by dragging this on further. Just a word to the wise, from the wise.... Don't push your luck.

Actually I would like to point out that during the 360 launch mods were actively going after not the sellers of 360's, but people who were complaining and thread crapping when someone was trying to sell one for more than MSRP. They dont care if you try to sell something for higher than MSRP, that is your prerogative. What they dont tolerate is selling something you dont have yet (preorder), thread crapping and the like.

In fact there was a sticky in the FS/FT forum warning people not to threadcrap in Xbox360 threads.
 
Funny how when raising the price high as hell benefits YOU, it's "It's called Supply and Demand" but when it benefits someone ELSE it's "Price Gouging".... :p

QFT
 
i bet 50% of the ones sold on ebay are bought via chargeback/CC scams...



so gg to all the price gougers who get screwed.... await my laughter
 
ok so i do see the point. welli think with new paypal policys noones going to get screwd out of thier money or thier ps3.
 
Same reason why I keep flagging this crap on craigslist. You can't sell something you don't have. Fire it up 11-17 or 11-18, I don't care... but its BS taking someones money for something you can't guarantee.
