Not that it really matters, but if you want my opinion, here goes. I think it's kinda messed up and I totally see where the other guy is comming from, you are begging for someone to hook you up with a really cheap copy of Disgaea then you turn around and try to sell it for more. HOWEVER, your prices aren't that bad, 20 for disgaea, is fair, and 25 for la pucelle is fair as well. thats 45, plus what 6-7 dollars shipping? comes out to about 52ish, you want 60, thats fair.

But since you only paid 5$ for disgaea and 19 for la pucelle, it would be nice if you hooked someone up for like 40-45$ or so shipped. It just seems kinda of messed up to be begging for something cheap, get it, then try and resell it to turn a profit. But hey, shit happens and if you need the money you need the money. Don't get mad, just my 2 cents.

Haha, after reading it, you are definitely right. You should reply to his latest BS and rip him yet another new one. Owned 2004 as you would say.

i read most of it....i agree with you....but some ppl gotta do what some ppl gotta do....i hope most of the ppl on here are here to save money, not make friends....being cool with ppl on here and calling each other friends are two different things....all in all, do what you gotta do, but if its shady...dont get caught, cuz you'll look like an ass

Dude i agree, I'm the one that says begging then reselling for a profit sucks. I think you got us backwards. Since my name and Zombies name are the same on both sites I have no idea how you mixed that up though.

Ok, now I'm totally confused. I thought you were the guy begging and then trying to resell? I assume I got things backward somehow...

While he's not trying to rip anyone off, it doesn't seem right that he begged for a game and then goes to resell it about a week later at (what appears to be) a higher price. It's like he begged, opened it, played it breifly, maybe didn't care for it, then wants a few extra bucks. I can't tell if he got it from someone at CAG, but if he did, why doesn't he return the love instead of going to another forum?

Edit: being an ass AND being right is fun :D

Because he knew if he posted that here there would have been a lot more people that noticed.

Because its much more lucrative to sell it elsewhere, probably.

When I sell things at cost, or give things away, I usually make the stipulation that it is for personal use, and not so the receiver can turn around immediately and make a quick profit. The people who gave the great deals to Zombie could have easily made more money, but they decided to be nice, and he took advantage of them. He feels that he should be able to turn a profit instead of helping someone else like he was helped. Even at $50 he'd break even (assuming he took a check or money order, I agree the paypal fees can get in the way). Perhaps Zombie is actually a celebrity, and his having owned the items increases their value.

Making the stipulation may make the deals I give seem slightly less magnanimous, and there is no way I can really enforce it, but in theory at least it makes things like what Zombie is doing less likely to happen.

Sorry, I voted wrong, Zombie is the ASS.

We all may not know each other but we are all commerades of a sort, belonging to a club. Sort of like a brotherhood or fraternity. It's not nice to take advantage of the generosity of your brother just to make a quick buck. If Zombie was that hard up for money he should have just solicited (begged) for some from his friends. But, seeing how he chooses to treat his brothers, I doubt he has many friends in the first place. At least, be honest that he's hard up for money in the initial solicitation.

He probaly just used the money to buy more games or some other unnecessary disposable income item.

The guy is a total dick. Somebody should shaq-fu'ing kick his ass.

Yeah, what a dick. I read the thread when it was first created with him begging to get it cheap, and actually hoped he got it because he really wanted it. Then the asshat turned around and sold it for profit. We should shun him from this community, for he hath sinned a great sin- Selling a game given to him for supposed personal use to make money. What a shame.
