I understand your point. I absolutely agree that sometimes people literally want stuff for free. You don't have to be happy with it, just try to understand the buyer.
Sometimes, I want to pay more. I really do. I am just tired of recieveing trash and being exected to pay full price for it.
People selling a rental copy. Or a CD used for floor cleaning, or wall scuffing. (not funny)
A stock photo or photo of a closed box. No descrition. No clues weather anything beyound CDs is actually included.
Bundle sells are more of a commercial for future sells. A small group of people buy the game. Talk about it, post videos, tweet and write in facebook. All of this is for free. A small loose in revenue now, much higher gains in future.
monkeydelarge: What I'm selling is the type of stuff that is just as needed or desired as Apple Ipads, for example. [...] The kind of stuff, criminals always steal because they know what sells.
Now on apple goods, as example.
There have been a lot of knock offs. A lot, a lot, a lot. People make youtube videos, write posts, people learn. You sell a used ipod, or something else. No way I can be sure you sell the original. Everythig can be opened, tampered with and closed with no visibe evidence. The only way to be sure is to buy from an apple store. If we were local friens, and I knew you well, most likely I would buy it. But people on internet don't know you. So they can't trust you.
monkeydelarge: So because of the asshole who treats his stuff like shit and then sells something with a problem or something that breaks a week later, all sellers selling used items have to suffer.
Pretty much.
monkeydelarge: I just think people should communicate their thoughts no matter how abrasive or whatever. [...] What is more civilized? People who are efficient at communicating or people who hide themselves? Think about it...
What does efficiency in communicating stands for?
You want to help your friends? You better tell your thouths directly.
You want to make a sell? If you meet someone for the first time, I'd say hitting them with unpoliteness is not the best way to close a deal. Sometimes, being a bit tough does work. Say, someone hesitates between two items, and just can't deside. You just walk to him and be like: This is the real s***t, leave that thing in place. But be carefull using that often.
