[quote name='thebob101']Problem with trying to help folks out is that most are still not satisfied. Asking $18 for a game shipped is not trying to make money. I am done with this one because all folks want to do is bitch about prices and how someone making $3 is only out to make cash. $3 for gas, time, etc. is completely not worth it. I guess this is what you get for trying to help out a CAG or two. I will just return the games and get my cash back.[/quote]
[quote name='thebob101']Unfortunately, you almost have to break it down so you don't get harrassed by some CAGs for trying to make a buck. $2-3 dollars is not making a profit after you factor in all of the traveling, putting the shipment together, taking it to the PO, etc. Folks here can be so petty sometimes and it is a shame because it hurts the community.[/quote]
What do you have and what were you asking? PM if you like, I may want a game or 2 more vs. you returning them
[quote name='neudog']Understandable. My thing is when members calculate in miles, gas, etc. when there asses were going to the store anyways. I live in a small/medium size town west of Nashville and some stores are limited to one location. However, I'm fortunate to have multiples K-Marts/Wal-Marts. This is just me, but when there are deals like this I'm more than willing to drive out of my way to score extras for the community if possible. I don't expect or want to be compensated for gas, miles, etc. because usually I'm looking for myself too. I'm all about icluding paypal fees, shipping, and bubble mailer, but if you need money for your time, gas miles, etc. then you're not "Doing It" for the community, as much as you are doing a "paid service". Well that's my two cents, which really is only worth a fraction of that in this recession...lol.[/quote]
I have to agree with both sides on this one. My opinion which really doesn't matter is that on a sale like this the best thing to do is just trade copies for other games you want. Whether they are from this sale or from other places and such. That is the best way to help people out. When you try and sell them cheap to help out most people bitch about every last penny.
I think many of us enjoy the search and are looking for ourselves when helping out. Thus I feel no need to be compensated for the time.
On the oter hand if you had a game I wanted from this sale like pure and wanted $20 shipped I'd just pay it and you make 4-5 bucks. Considering the number of people that flip and resell I think when selling them if your gonna be ultra nice and help others out, Like doing $15 shippd for these titles...I'd only do it for established Cags. I've helped people out and they still send cc funded paypal when told not to. A couple times I just accepted it.
