Greedy Fat Ho, Three CC Shoping carts!!!

[quote name='elprincipe']Just wow. I have to say I'm suprised and disgusted at the fat-bashing going on in this thread. Replace "fat" with "black" or "hispanic" or "white" or "catholic" or "muslim" or anything else like that and see how despicable this last "acceptable" hatred really is. I'm sad that so many people are so full of hate on this site. :cry:[/quote]

People on this site are connected by a love of cheap ass games, not a tolerance of other people unlike themselves. With that said I don't care what she looked like that was just plain going overboard, there is greedy and then there is GREEDY Still for all we know those games could be in the hands of kids through a charity by now so really why has this thread gotten so long again?
 
because deep down inside we all know the bitch didn't buy THREE shopping carts full of games to fucking give away! It's just another example of saying fuck everone else, I'm sellin' on ebay...
 
Eh the thing is we don't know, I mean sure it is easy to think the worst but that doesn't mean that is what really happened. People do stuff like that out of the kindness of their heart, rare as hell granted but it does happen.
 
Damn... See, I love Gainsville.. it tought me the beauty of a drink called Swamp Water or Gator's Tail. Any chance this was in Valdosta GA?? I *think* there's a circuit city there but not sure. If so, the people down there are just idiotic inbred douche bags from my experience living near there for a year. As for Ocala... that's where that teacher was scoring with a 13 year old student.
 
[quote name='Spacepest']Hmm, fat woman cleaning out a store of multiple cheap items on sale?
Its definately an ebay stay at home mom, i.e. a "power seller".

Those women sicken me. Its not just video games, but they buy up all other kinds of toys and then flood the ebay market with them. My husband used to work at toysrus and he used to tell me about them all the time. Often they would bring the same items back a week or two later if they couldn't sell them...no way were they going to pay for an item to be relisted if it wasn't going to sell quick. There were a couple of women who came into the store whom the manager refused to sell multiple items of anything anymore because of it.

The only consolation is that they hardly make back any money. They just see a toy on sale, and buy it, make up and inflated price, and list it hoping it sells. Most of the time they just buy crap that no one wanted to buy at the toy store in the first place. Really, for all the serious gamers on this board, how many of those $5 titles that you saw did you really want to buy because you knew they were crap and really weren't worth $5? Quite a few, I'll bet.

I'm not even going to worry about people like her. All that greed for what? She'll be lucky if she breaks even, and even that will be only if she got a few of the rarer titles in her selection. Plus with all the games that are going to flood the ebay market in a week, she will have the frustration of watching all that stuff just sit on the market and not sell at all.[/quote]

I was thinking very much the same thing. I have a pretty good amount of eBay experience with almost 800 sales and purchases. (eBay ID is same as here.) Unless you're truly desparate for a supplemental income there has to be a certain profit margin on an item or it's just more hassle than its worth. There is no shortage of minimum wage jobs out there so it has to at least be better than that, assuming you're a healthy able-bodied person.

To make matters worse when word of a sale like this spreads quickly you can be faced with a flood of competitors for the same item. Some of those competitors will create several simultaneous or overlapping auctions for a single title and really drive the value down. In the past the times when I had a lot of good stuff for eBay is when I find an insane sale at a store that was hopeless at selling games to the extent most people didn't realize they had a games department. Sears was the best example of this. There weren't any good site like CAG then and despite how often I mentioned it in Usenet groups the word just never seemed to spread.

Since I didn't want to drive down my stuff's value I only ran one auction for each title at a time. Since the minimum duration was three days and I didn't want to end up with stuff in my posseseion that wouldn't sell and was past the 30 day return limit, I only bought a certain number at a time. Even so, I was able to keep going back and getting more stuff over a period of almost three months. It was as though Sears didn't exist in the minds of video game consumers. That kind of thing could never happen today.

I haven't bought any CC stuff with eBay in mind because I was pretty sure none of the ones I found were worth the trouble for the prices they'd get but some real turkeys are doing alright.

Take a look at this auction for the horrible Justice League Chronicles. The picture still has a CC price tag on it!

Well, in a week there is going to be a ton more games sitting on the ebay market collecting dust.

What makes it even funnier is that no one ever seems to take off the CC tags off their stuff. Thats just an ebay pet peeve of mine...if you're going to sell something on ebay for more than you originally paid for it, please be kind enough to take off the sales tag so the buyer doesn't see it and feel like they are getting ass-raped before they bid.

And dammit, do some research ebay sellers. I've met some legitimate toy collectors who support their collecting habit through ebay sales. And the majority of them are definately not stupid enough to flood a market full of identical items, just to bring the price down and bite themselves in the ass due to their own greed.

Oh good God. This isn't even the same thing, it's not even close! You're born black, you're born Hispanic, you're Catholic from the time you're a baptised infant, I have no idea what the Islamic equivilent of baptism or a briss is but I assume there is one. Those last ones are practically imposed on you by friends and family from birth.

FAT is behaviorial. It is not eating correctly. It is eating too much of incorrect foods. It is not enough exercise. 98% of the time fat people are fat because they don't do ANYTHING to make themselves healthier. I don't see knocking fat people because of it, they suffer and they know they don't do anything about their situation. I have yet to see any medical proof or clinical evidence that can equate being fat to addiction either. I can see cigarette, heroin and alcohol addiction because it has been medically proven. However I have not seen one report that has even come close to stating double quarter pounder with cheese, buckets of KFC, Domino's extra large or Krispy Kreme's are physicologically addicting.

If fat people want to quit being fat there are two things that are guaranteed to have results. Eat less, move more.
 
at my store they had a 3 per customer limit. but if you buy 1 of each title they would cut u some slack. they didnt really tolerate ppl running out with multiple copies of 1 game. unless it was under 3. if any of you want to trade some of your titles, im looking for GC games. i scored mostly ps2 games. they're in my sig. also IMO CC's sale overran BB's. ppl i saw at CC were like huh? Bestbuy? whats that?

1. Weight is not 100% behavioral, as anyone who has known anyone who is "overweight" would know. I have known people who ate the same amount or less than others that were skinny and they were fat. That is called genetics my friend. Now nobody is genetically 350 lb. or whatever unless they have a severe sickness, but you see my point here I hope. And also this means some people are more susceptible to gaining weight than others.

2. Even if it is behavioral to some extent, that doesn't mean hating people is okay. Just because people have a different lifestyle from you doesn't mean it's all right to hate them. Love thy neighbor as thyself.

In any case, I meant to just point out that hating people because of what they look like is ignorant and, yes, it is wrong too. See how you like it next time someone (in this case, society at large :!:) rips on you for having brown hair or something.

As a "fat" person I can tell you it is not all behaviorial. I was born overweight and as an adult I have battled the bulge. I have tried dieting, I have tried exercise, I have tried enough to make myself sick. Genetics can and does play a big part in people's weight. My great grandmother on down to me. I have pushed myself to the hospital trying to lose the weight and with very little success. Some people have "let themselves go" and gained weight. Others however simply can not help it. There was a study published last month or two drawing a link between people who can't lose/keep off the weight and an abscence of a certain chemical in their brain. I can't off hand remember the name of it but needless to say without it, your brain doesn't process the information needed to maintain or lose weight. That's not behaviorial IMO...
 
I didn't mean to upset a certain part of our CAG community. Its imo a natural reaction when I see someone with a very large body being greedy about games, I assume they have that body because they are greedy about food too.

Im sorry if I also offended women, and people with the occupation of ho as well. :)
 
I think the limit should be 10 enough for you to get all the games you really want and to pick up some stuff for your friends and trade maybe sell. I wanted only 6 games but I only got 2 out of this sell because people think they can sell all of them. ebay is littered with these games for starting bid of 5.99 and buy it now 14.99

not always true this is america my friend you have to think opened minded maybe she has a thyroid problem maybe she has a gentic disorder. um?
 
Glanduar fat is sometimes a little easier to pick out from "natural" fat. But anyway this isnt about the person being fat, it's just an easier insult to throw at her because it's so noticable.

When you get mad at someone you want to lash out in the most effective way possible and frankly, "fat greedy ho" just plain rolls off the tongue. :p
 
Yeah, I bought like 30 games.

I sold and traded 15, and kept the other 15, as they were duplicates.

It cost me $30 in gas to get there, and 2 sleepless nights, of anticipation, and anxiety.

I think as long as you can pay for a game, and you make the effort to get off your couch, then they are rightfully yours.

Most people are just too lazy to do anything, but hop on eBay, and bid away their lives.

Another thing, unless the sale add clearly puts a limit on duplicate titles, then it is free reign.
It is against the law to limit purchases, which aren't advertised.

It can be an argument of discrimination, and a lawsuit, otherwise.
 
I still tend to think even with a hundred other sellers people who buy truckloads of cheap games are not going to break even unless they;ve bought every single A+ title in the store, it's still not going to be enough if they bought 4 times as many C titles.

Lets say she buys:
6 copies of Roadkill (c)
4 copies of Disgaea (a+)
5 copies of Enter the Matrix (c)
4 copies of EoE (c)

Spending: about $100 (and multiply this but 3 shopping carts)

she might be able to Sell all her Disgaeas for 25 bucks making back 100 bucks but still risks being stuck with 16 games, partially BECAUSE of the 100 other people selling the same games 'fat greedy ho' bought and some of them beating her price because they werent as greedy and can stand to sell disgaea for 15 or somthing, or she risks not selling them at all simply because they're suckass games.

I agree, it was her right to buy the games. However i think when customers are questioned about ebay etc. The store may in some cases have the right to refuse for dealer/store policy.


On a side note:

IMO this not much different then when a good game goes on sale like at ebgames. And some forum member buys like 200 copies and then no one else gets one. Its not always the fact that a person got something that you didnt. Some of us, who have the game would feel that it was a greedy action.

Its comes down to what I said earlier about morals. Its like watching the story of Uncle Scrooge being cheap and greedy. Its his right, but morally I feel that his character was a greedy old man. And not to hate against old men, just greedy old men. :p
 
I noticed something there is 17,000 CAG most online ever was 246 and I see the same 200 people post. I think Alot of people come to this site to just get deals (which is not wrong or illegal) but they do not add anything to the CAG community.

Unless she returns them to Circuit City within 30 days if they don't sell.....
 
I swear, there seem to be some "Underpants Knomes" philosophy holders amongst some of the people who took advantage of this sale.

1. Buy up all the 5 dollar games
2. ???????????????
3. Profit!
 
They could simply return the games, a few at a time, to various WalMarts, Targets, Best Buys, and get gift cards for 2-5x their cost.

Please don't get me started.
Others here will vouch for me that getting me started on that topic is not a good idea.

Thats a great idea! how would I go about doing that?
 
One potato,
Two potato,
Three potato,

If we cut off the potato head our problems will be no more.

BWA HA HA HA!!!

:lol: :lol: :lol:

Too true. Although it is funny to think of all the morons who bought the utter crap at $5 and can't sell it.
 
3 shopping carts... wow! it's like a CAG treasure trove of goodies! all i know is that she's greedy and that she's large, and i hope she loses out in the end :p

No shit. I went back to my local CC's the other day because I had been to all of them the first day the sale leaked, so I saw what they did and did not have available. I just wanted to see what had sold (plus the thought of owning a new copy of Castlevania LoI for $15 kept taunting me in my dreams) and I was surprised at the crap that did sell.
I also saw alot of disappointed kids digging through the $5 game bins in the stores...because even they knew what games sucked and weren't worth $5. :lol:
 
[quote name='"trustcompany1013"']the whole selling on ebay thing....i dont think you're aloud to go into a store with the intent of selling on ebay...thats why the manager said that or whatever...and when i was in a couple of CCs today...i picked up probably 10 games at each one (mostly for trades)...and at everyone, it seemed like the cashier was trying to get out of me that i was buying them just to sell them...they all had this beat around the bush approach like, "man, what are you gonna do with all of these games, hehe, if i were you, i'd sell them on ebay or at a flea market"....every last one of them had a similar line...it just seemed like they were trying to get me to say i was selling them just so they could keep me from getting the games (im assuming they wanted them for themselves, because i found many that they didnt know were 4.99....boohoo)...it kinda pissed me off, but oh well...cant nobody hold me down...[/quote]

Oh no, I got to keep on moovin.
