MobiusArcher: Ok, so I really don't like to get this offensive on forums, but I just have to say it. A couple of you think that everyone else is cheap, but I think your just being greedy.

monkeydelarge: snip

QC: Could be. Could not be. We don't know the whole story, and our only detail is that "Seller wants this price, buyer wants this price. Hagglers will be tased and dragged to the lion pit."

tburger: Consumer goods become cheaper and less durable in time. From many years people are taught that it’s not worth to buy second-hand items (or repair broken ones) – that what they should do – is just buy new item. That’s why value of second-hand items devaluates.

Another thing is that maybe they are so cheap nowadays because they follow this ‘modern economy pattern’ – and buy sth they don’t really need/use?

Tarnicus: I find such outbursts amusing and thought I'd add a little humour to the situation :)

monkeydelarge: I've been trying to raise money by selling things lately.

timppu: Dang, and I was sure this was a complaint how people don't buy PC games for full price anymore, but pay only $1 or BTA for Humble Bundles, or wait for sales. I already had so many counter-arguments ready starting from the evils of DRM and how publishers get exactly what they ask for and deserve... but in vain. :(

I guess it is overall that when people are looking into buying second-hand items instead of new ones, they are trying to get it as cheap as possible. Otherwise they'd buy a brand-new one, with warranty and all.

Unless they are items that aren't available new anymore, like some ultrarare Japanese hentai version of Super Mario Bros on NES, or the first autograph by John Lennon.

monkeydelarge: Someone is being greedy because he or she is not happy with almost giving something away for free?

MobiusArcher: QC's post managed to get through to me. I don't know the whole story, so I can not really say. The thing is, you wont tell us the whole story. If you did, you may not have gotten such a bad response.

teshra: I find it highly ironic and somewhat humorous that this was the same guy who went on a rant because Best Buy accidentally priced metro last night (I think that's the name of the game) at 1 cent and they wouldn't honor the sale to the boatloads of people who wanted to take advantage of it.

The behavior you describe of the people you are trying to sell whatever to is exactly the kind of behavior you were adamantly supporting in the Best Buy thread. Re-read your first few posts in this thread but consider it from Best Buys point of view. When the shoe is on the other foot, my my my, how we don't like it and rage. Funny how you raged on both sides of the argument when the discussion turned against you in both threads. The only difference is in this thread, you're playing the part of BB and you can't seem to understand why people want to take advantage and screw others as long as it favors them.

monkeydelarge: That is because you are a troll. It is too bad that this forum is infested with your kind.

PS

Seriously, WTF is wrong with GOG general discussion? I get low rated for telling a troll to go fuck himself after he says this "OP - it sounds like you need a crash course in economics and civility after reading your posts."?

That sentence right there is highly insulting. He is calling me, not only a moron but someone who is uncivilized. So I insult him back and get low rated? Is it because my insult includes the word "fuck" and not something more eloquent?

Spinorial: You told one of the nicest people around here to "go fuck" himself, and you did so because he told you things as they are, for both the value of your goods and your attitude to the responders. You are abrasive and easily turn rude; he was being frank and straightforward. Now, instead of continuing to argue with people, go back and read over what they've told you again. Most of your answers are there.

monkeydelarge: I saw no solutions here. Just people bitching at me for bitching about them and a troll post, maybe two.
