View Full Version : Can we please get a specific section for "flipping"
Going into the deals section sucks lately, in almost every thread in the deals section you have certain people talking about how many copies they can get of the posted deal to flip on amazon or gamestop, it is f**king annoying.There are people who actually go into that section looking for deals on games they can actually play and because of those pathetic 'flippers" most of the time the deal will get out of stock quickly.

I'm just saying whats the use of having a deal section if you have 1 or 2 guys coming in buying 10 copies of the game, it just kills the whole deal.

Insulting users is a great way to get your point across and have people respect you.
Also, most flippers HAVE jobs. Have you ever thought "Hey, it'd be cool if I got a second job and worked it and got all that extra money? Heck all of that money from the second job could go directly to my savings!!" Then, have you ever actually done it? For three months I worked 7 am to 09:00 PM at night Tuesday-Saturday, worked first job only on Mondays and worked second only on Sundays, with about an hour break of when I would go to my second job and believe me, it sucks. Flipping is just a way to do extra work that doesn't suck.

The forum doesn't need more sub-sections. People have a hard enough time posting in the correct forum as it is.

What would be cool would be actually finding a good sale price on a game, getting there a few minutes after store opening, and not seeing a bunch of asshats walking up to the counter with multiple copies, while I go home empty handed. I really wish someone would start up selfishassgamers.com and all the flippers and hoarders could go there, forget a forum here for them.

Why do you deserve a copy of a game that's on sale? Y'all are crying because other people are--*gasp*--spending their money in ways you don't like. Unfortunately, that's their right, and crying here isn't going to change anything.
You want a game on sale? Beat everyone else there. Quit acting like you deserve it. That sense of entitlement is absolutely revolting.

Never said I deserve it, I'm saying people should have a shred of decency when snatching up extra copies of a game. If you're hurting that much for some extra pocket money, you need to probably step back and look for a more respectable way to do it. But since I've only seen 2 posts from you, and both used the word "liberal" you're probably one of those "make a buck by any means necessary, as long as it's minimal work" people.
1. I assumed you were a guy, I'm not used to females saying such idiotic things.
2. I think the only retarded thing was your attempt at a clever or post but failing horribly, just sayin'.

Why is it indecent to buy more than one copy of an item? And why is flipping video games not a respectable way of making money? People do it all the time with houses; this is the same thing, just without all the risk.
And do you bitch and moan when a different kind of item that's on sale is sold out? You didn't say you deserved a game on sale, but you're getting angry at others because you're too slow. Nobody is going to think "Oh, I can make $X, or I can leave this for some other schmuck that I don't know or care about."
Stop. Being. A bitch.

Buying and fixing up a house so it's actually livable isn't comparable to flipping games. Dig deeper please.
Slow? That's a side effect of having a job sometimes. I do something that helps society, some flippers that are sitting outside the door to Best Buy to grab a stack of games on a Wednesday morning to list on ebay aren't. So no, there's nothing respectable about preventing someone from buying something so you can force them to buy it from you on ebay so someones greedy ass can turn a profit. You pretty much explained the kind of person you are though with " some other schmuck that I don't know or care about", it's "me, me, me, gimme, gimme, gimme." Such a shame that decency in this country has gone down the shitter.
Stop. Being. A selfish. Bitch.

You're assuming that 1) flippers don't have jobs, 2) flipping doesn't contribute to society, and 3) making money is bad.
You have no basis for 1), so that's just stupid. 2) is incorrect because the flipper makes more money which he can use to invest in other things, which is a net benefit to society, especially since flippers have the drive to go out and make money in ways many others wouldn't. I'd argue money in the hands of a flipper is better than money in the hands of someone like you. I don't even know what to make of 3). By that logic, your greedy ass is taking a job away from someone else so that you can turn a profit. You should quit so they can work.

Stop. Being. A selfish. Bitch.I don't understand how thinking that one should look out for themselves before others and how defending one's right to do whatever the hell he wants with his money makes me an indecent person and selfish.
It's much, much worse that you expect people to bend over backwards for you so that you can get a game. Who's the selfish one, $$$$$$?

You're acting like flipping is a job. Start paying taxes on it, then we'll talk.
1. It's hard to believe the majority of them have jobs when they can be waiting in front of a store at 9am on a Wednesday. Yeah, yeah, yeah, "I work nights, day off, etc" I've heard the excuses a million times before.
2. I don't even know how to respond to that nonsense. I'd say my real job and the taxes I pay contribute much more to society.
3. Like I said, flipping isn't a job, stop acting like it is. It's just screwing over other people.
I'm not going to change you're mind, you obviously aren't going to change mine, so there's no point in arguing anymore, some people have to work in the morning anyways.

How did I indicate that I thought flipping is a job?
And you're making the same baseless statements regarding the employment of flippers. I don't even know how that factors in to this discussion at all, honestly.
You seem to be hung up on the idea that they're unemployed, which you have no proof of or basis for, to make you feel better about yourself, which is really kinda strange.
How do your "real" job and taxes contribute to society? You've failed to make any indication that they do more than flippers. Flippers see opportunities, and take them. That kind of mentality is far more valuable than your dull, routine thinking.
And how do they screw over other people? Oh, right, they don't.
Saying flippers screw over other people is like saying that you screw over the people who make Arizona tea by buying Sweet Leaf. There's just no connection there.

Just let it go man. Concentrate on buying better BD movies because a majority of your collection sucks ass.
Before I go though. I have a great job with the help of an AA and BA degree.... now with that in mind.
I take that talent and put it to good use and buy games and flip them to rake in more money for me.
Not only am I supporting the the game companies and the programmers that programmed the games, but also the economy.
So please stop whinning, suck it up and be a man about it.

You're assuming that governments, in their current form, are a net benefit to society, which is a really debatable point.
And flippers do pay taxes: sales tax, and the income tax they report (between their games and, uh, their jobs).
I see that you had no response to my first and third points (not that a response from you is any good at all).
And yeah, I'd say we're done here. I hope you've learned something.

It was you who opened up the can of worms. You assumed that flippers we're all jobless and live in their mothers basement.
Well not everyone on here is what you think "they are".
Some may be average joes, dope dealers, pimps, hookers, priests, teachers, grocery bag boys, etc.
I'm not so sure where all this aggression towards flippers is coming from. Aside from you missing out on something just because you're slow.
