[quote name='tolhurst']exactly what I thought when reading the post. a probable eight hours of running around, posting, shipping for 38 dollars ... and that's assuming everybody on ebay pays, finding the burnouts, etc. so what $4.50 an hour with finacial risk involved? No thanks.[/QUOTE]
Ok, let's do this halfway.
Buy the 10 Ping Pals for $37 and trade them into Game Crazy for $62.50.
How long would it take to complete the order, sign for it and trade them in? I'm betting less than a hour.
Is stretching your $1 into $1.67 not good enough for 1 hour's work?

Hay, while we're all at it, why don't we just just take the ping pals and exchange them at Walmart for $30 in store cred, trhat way we not only are we screwing over people who may actually want this game, but a corporation as wel!!
ing hoarders, go back to lurking.

Would one Game Crazy take all ten at the same time?

I've been called a Ping Pal hoarder.
If I ever figure out a way to make a profit off of 1994 Madden, I'm sure somebody like you will call me a hoarder.
As far as exchanging them for $30 store credit, there's a small problem. That's fraud.
Before you have another knee jerk reaction, read over the earlier posts in the thread. I think somebody said they wouldn't buy this turd until it was 99 cents.

That's what I was thinking. Suspicions may be aroused when a guy brings in 10 copies of the same crappy game to trade.

You forgot to mention the week that you'll be waiting for your cheap ass media mail package to arrive.

I got a copy for the 2.99 price. I know that ratings for the game are extremely low, but I only will be out .45 after the pricegrabber rebate. Even if the game drops to .99 you won't be paying that with the lowest shipping(1.99 + tax). Also by the time this drop occurs the pricegrabber rebate will be gone. So .45 is the cheapest I think anyone will find it for.

Now, waiting is considered work.
Hmm, you're right. I couldn't possibly do something else while I'm waiting for my package to get here.
Attention all haters ...
Ping Pals is available again for $2.99 on EB.
I know SO MANY of you are chomping at the bit to pick up this turd. So, go for it.

Considering the price, I think this game would make a great skeet shooting target for Neo-Luddites.
Look I'm destroying current technology practically for free. WOO HOO!

Hilariously proving how uncredible G4 is, the latest FILTER ranks ping pals above Yoshi's T+G. Yoshi is 10, and PP is 9 in their top 10 DS games.

Average selling price on eBay is $9.01.
Cost per unit is $3.70.
Break even point is 42 units sold.
Maybe you should get a job because 20 hours of work just isn't worth $531.
I wish anybody selling this game the best of luck and extend everybody buying this game on eBay my pity.

You still don't get it? It's the idea of using this site to grab tons of something you have no intention of ever playing. It goes against the reason this site was formed!
Fat retarded ebay resellers aside, it's the lame hoarding ideal that pisses most of us off.

Exactly. It isn't that we are lazy, or even that we don't see the potential for profit, it is that it is a crappy thing to do to other CAGs, essentially biting the hand that feeds us.

1. I didn't order 100. I simply crunched numbers based off of post #66 and a minute or two of research while making fun of the game. If somebody thinks they can unload 100 Ping Pals on eBay without causing some major market saturation (and price degradation), it's their funeral.
2. Noodle Pirate! and guessed, please reread some of the earlier opinion posts about this game. Most people thought this game sucked and turned their noses up at the $2.99 deal. This game is clearly nowhere near as popular as Metroid Prime 2, Zelda: 4 Swords or watching paint dry.
3. The US government created the Internet so it could attack the USSR when conventional means of communication were disabled. It surely didn't envision the amount of porn or pompous flaming that came from it. If you don't follow, I'll try to make it relevant to CAG. You can't control something just because you create it. (Ask a parent.) So, get over the fact that a few or a lot of people will jump on deals posted on this site just earn profit.
