Thats the way the mets deal. trade their future for failures. wish the mets had epstein and not dumbasses like duquette.
Its a worse trade than Bagwell for Larry Andersen or Schilling for Mike Boddicker. It didn't even help the Mets this year. And they're firing the manager again, like its his fault the team sucks. Bobby Valentine was the man, now he's the Man in Japan again.

That's one reason why you're a jack ass, because you assume things that are incorrect.
If someone buys 4 each of 20 or more things, its not a safe assumption that he's going to sell them? Maybe I should assume that he's going to go give them away at an orphanage. He specificly is not the problem, its a general problem when theres limited quantities, and people buy lots of them to ebay and kill the deal.

it was epstein because the GM of the mets is Jim Duquette. Dan Duquette's bro. I know it was phillips who accepted Vaughn. I feel bad mostly for Art Howe because he was just put in a bad situation. Blame the front office for the bogus deals. the only deal that was good was the hidalgo deal but that is still ok because they gave up wheeler.

Would it make you feel better if i sent you a few?
If I knew it was going to be this big of a deal... I wouldn't have even ordered them

You could make me feel better if you sent me Arc the Lad or Wild Arms.

Please?

I never got bent out of place about the Bagwell deal. I mean hindsight is 20/20 at the time he was a third basemen and we were deep at that position. Plus we really needed a reliever for the playoffs. it wasn't like he was a top prospect at the time either and if he stayed with us there are no guarantees he would have developed as well as he did in Houston

Ill tell you what its only good for Kazmir. He is getting out of a bad situation and under Pinella..he will develop.

The Mets needed to trade away players for prospects and rebuild 2 years ago. Now they have mediocre players and big contracts and no prospects, no hope for the playoffs or the future. Sounds like a Duquette to me.

Thats my point, at the time of the Bagwell or Schilling deals, people weren't wondering what the hell they were doing, they weren't considered awful trades at the time like the Kazmir trade was. They signed Kaz Matsui and refused to trade Jose Reyes when they could have gotten a mint for him, then they trade Kazmir for nothing? Wow. Kazmir is the kind of player you never, ever, ever trade. I hope Pinella isn't too rough on him. Tampa Bay could be a serious contender in 2 years with their young talent.

I like Epstein because he has balls not many GMs would have pulled off the Nomar trade. Nomar in my opinion was damaged goods besides his heel problem I don't think his fore arm ever healed because he hasn't been the same since. Plus we had plenty of offense we needed to shore up the D and even though the 1B we got hasn't been hitting that bases laoded double play he turned a while back saved us a game. Plus I really like Orlando he plays with a lot of passion and saves a lot of runs with his glove and although he cant hit like Nomar he has decent pop in his bat

Without question the fastest moving thread in CAG, and if this goes through, a candidate for the most incredible deal in CAG history. I can't believe I missed this.

Oh well. I've gotten a ton of 5 dollar games from CC and BB this year, so I've made out pretty good. I know there are others who haven't. It's the way it goes, you win some, you lose some.

To those who got in I hope it goes through for you. If it is a big mistake, well then I didn't miss anything, but I wouldn't wish that. It would be petty and immature.

Good luck to all. Hope you get the games.

Their biggest problem is that they try to get guys when they are hot..and then when the trade is triggered the player they got in the deal suxs. Eg Benson and Zambrano...even alomar i can say is in the same league. I wonder what would the mets linup looked like if they did keep their prospects. i bet escobar would've had or atleast i hope a better career with the mets than the indians.

What i hope is this is what happened. They got a major shipment in from stores that couldnt sell these games so they sent them all to overstock. Overstock had no use for them and decided to dump them on the market for 2,00 each. THe prices of the games are now back to normal cause the huge amount of games they got back from the stores are now gone so the prices are back to normal. HOpe that was it

You're so hopeful on this thread and so pessimistic on the playstation store thread.

I think someone just f-ed up. Don't forget, they had dvd boxsets for $2 too.

slidecage
09-28-2004, 09:26 AM
yea but got to remember pawn shops sell box sets for 18-20 bucks figure what they pay for them. They have very limited shelf space so maybe Just maybe overstock go major returns and had no place to store them. It would been nice if they did limit 1 on each item so more people could got in on the deal though. im REALLY hopeful on both sites, but the problem with the playstation one was people was misunderstanding what i was saying about the PB game. Man i really need to stop spending.

CAG is too double edged. Saving money on games, but having to put up with assholes that horde games and then try to sell them to you in the trading forum for 10-20 bucks more than they paid for it.

It sucks having to think that, should these orders not get cancelled, there's a larger number of people who didn't get in on it, and a small number of people are going to cash in on that. And those people are going to go to the trade forum and fleece a people left and right, or go to eBay and make money there.

It sucks to think that, especially when I've done things for people like buying them games and sending them to them for the price they are being sold at, instead of gouging someone down the road.

CAG and the subsequent deals we hear about might smack of "right time right place" mentality, but that doesn't make up for the fact that people just get so damn greedy and then try to rip off the same people they supposedly want to help get the best deals. Don't go and buy a damn game for 5 bucks and then sell it for 10 and pretend that you're not being a dick in the entire ordeal.

I guess it's too much to expect out of people.

they should of limited it to 1 or 2 games per person, i mean someone comes in here and says ha ha i got 4x of each DVD and im putting them on ebay shouldnt be here. SO far no backorder here. When i go into my account say processing (just like playstation.com) so got to wait and see.

Well, you can hope all you want, but they wouldnt sell stuff for that cheap to make space. 10,000$ watches dont exactly take up a lot of warehouse space. Neither do games. Hey maybe the stuff will go through, but it cetainly was an error. Honestly, do you think the people at Overstock would be stupid enough to sell stuff for $2.00 when it would sell just as quickly for $5.00? At $2.00 they could just as well throw the crap in the garbage to make space.

I completely accept the fact that people will horde and sell. What I don't get is when a large number of posters don't get a single game and yet people still post brag lists of multiple-item purchases. What do you expect, a standing ovation or something? Geez, at least try to hide the fact and keep it to yourself! I guess it goes back to the freedom of speech thing. Until CAG gets a killfile feature just tune it out.

I just got my orders cancelled.

Dear Chris XXXX,

You recently placed an order with Overstock.com and indicated that you would complete payment via PayPal. It has been at least four hours since your order was taken and payment has not been received. Subsequently your order has been cancelled.

If you have any questions please don't hesitate to contact us at: info@overstock.com Please include order number 10992667 on any communication.

Keep in mind that we welcome your business and we always accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover in addition to PayPal.

Please come back and see us soon!

Thank you,
Customer Service, Overstock.com

I don't know for sure, but I thought everything went through fine. At first I tried to use Paypal on one of my orders, but then I know I just used my Mastercard on all the others.

Maybe I accidently had the Paypal button checked, but I'm almost certain that I didn't. Oh well, I really didn't need to movies that bad anyway.

My sentiments exactly. The sad part about it is that when these deals come around it completly kills the trading forum because everyone had the same fucking idea. So the really good deals or items I want are completely buried under topics from people looking to shill out thier $5 primals, rygars, amplitudes or whatever else they got.

But I posted here first... :D

[quote=Strell]CAG is too double edged. Saving money on games, but having to put up with assholes that horde games and then try to sell them to you in the trading forum for 10-20 bucks more than they paid for it.

It sucks having to think that, should these orders not get cancelled, there's a larger number of people who didn't get in on it, and a small number of people are going to cash in on that. And those people are going to go to the trade forum and fleece a people left and right, or go to eBay and make money there.

It sucks to think that, especially when I've done things for people like buying them games and sending them to them for the price they are being sold at, instead of gouging someone down the road.

CAG and the subsequent deals we hear about might smack of "right time right place" mentality, but that doesn't make up for the fact that people just get so damn greedy and then try to rip off the same people they supposedly want to help get the best deals. Don't go and buy a damn game for 5 bucks and then sell it for 10 and pretend that you're not being a dick in the entire ordeal.

I guess it's too much to expect out of people.

Damn, I just realized that the 2 games I ordered will bring my collection to 200 if they show up. However, they'll also drop my IGN average review score to 8.9. What's a boy to do?

And yes, I do know that average review score is pretty meaningless, but still ...

i went into overstock went into my account shows on order is like 1180 or something like that is approved and is in process of shipping or something like that . So it shows approved at 11.80 anyways if you do get charge more just disput the charges. some people said their are getting cancell orders but we will see. Maybe Overstock desided to take the hit instead of pissing off all the people who got in on the deal. Sony should learn something from this if that is what they are doing.

One thing bugging me about this thread is how those who missed out on the deals are practically PRAYING that it gets cancelled, to screw over those who did get in before everything vanished. That, to me, is just as bad as hoarding -- if not moreso because it's blatantly malicious.

I'm not hoping that the orders get cancelled, and if I implied that (or even said it, it was really early this morning), then I'm sorry, that's not what I meant. More power to the guys that got in on and (hopefully) get their orders.

As for "whining," it's not being pissed about not getting in on the sale, it's the fact that assholes KEEP me from being able to share in it. If you have to go in and buy a lot of the same game for your own personal gain, then you suck and there's no getting around that.

There's a massive difference between those two, and if you can't read that, then you need content mastery courses immediately.

So good luck, people.

I just got my orders cancelled.

Dear Chris XXXX,

You recently placed an order with Overstock.com and indicated that you would complete payment via PayPal. It has been at least four hours since your order was taken and payment has not been received. Subsequently your order has been cancelled.

If you have any questions please don't hesitate to contact us at: info@overstock.com Please include order number 10992667 on any communication.

Keep in mind that we welcome your business and we always accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover in addition to PayPal.

Please come back and see us soon!

Thank you,
Customer Service, Overstock.com

I don't know for sure, but I thought everything went through fine. At first I tried to use Paypal on one of my orders, but then I know I just used my Mastercard on all the others.

Maybe I accidently had the Paypal button checked, but I'm almost certain that I didn't. Oh well, I really didn't need to movies that bad anyway.

After you choose to pay with Paypal it looks like you are done. You get the confirmation screen and it says your order has been accepted. But what you actually have to do it click the Pay Now link and go to your Paypal account directly from Overstock. They don't take it out automatically, you have to do it. I think that might have been where you got mixed up.

It's more hoping it gets canceled so we don't feel bad about missing out, instead of hoping people get screwed over.

Everyone on here still has a chance to score cause there will be some cheap games to trade. I know in WA 3 and def jam i probably bought games that i will never open. I will rpob keep the X-2 dvd and the arc the lad

I still think it's a crappy thing to do; taking awesome games for cheap that others would greatly enjoy that you don't even plan on playing. There are a ton of bargain bin games you can buy for trade-in at EB or GameRush or whatnot. And Buying awesome games for $2 and trading them on here when you know people will value them at $15, $20 or higher is just like buying a bunch for $2 each and them selling them on here for an inflated price. That said, again, I'm not saying that trading from good deals is bad. But when there is a very limited quantity of great games that you have no use for (other than over-charging some poor soul who made the sin of not being on the site at the same time as you) and you take them, knowing you won't enjoy them - or worse, even open them - I think that is wrong.

But, those of you who got in on a legitimately good deal who aren't just trying to screw fellow CAGs, Great job. Keep up the cheapness!

One thing bugging me about this thread is how those who missed out on the deals are practically PRAYING that it gets cancelled, to screw over those who did get in before everything vanished. That, to me, is just as bad as hoarding -- if not moreso because it's blatantly malicious.

Where's the sense of community that I love so much about CAG? Can't we all just get along?

I'm not praying for deals to get cancelled, that's the last thing I'd want on any fellow CAGer, I'm just expecting that Overstock will say this was a pricing mistake and have it all disappear.

I ended up with 3 orders. I sent my first because stuff like Wario Ware and SSX3 disappeared from my cart and I didn't want to miss out on Amplitude (oh the irony, it was the last one to sell out).
My second order was the remaining games I was interested in.
The third order is DVDs.
1) Amplitude
2) Arc the Lad
Wolverine's Revenge
Spawn
3) America's Sweethearts
School of Rock
