I started an auction at retail and it turned into the bidding war to end all bidding wars. I do feel torn about it. It's the bottled water paradox.

I'm a bit torn as well. It's preying upon the ignorant, I guess, but how did these f*cktards even find ebay if their googlefu is so weak?!?

I would have considered high buy-it-now listings or what SAG does as preying on the ignorant. Starting an auction at retail though is just that.

I'm sure you didn't expect it to go quite this high, but there's no question that you were hoping for high bids from people too stupid (or too lazy) to find the roms and cover on their own.

That's the point that I and NW were trying to make. But his response is continuously just, "I put the bid at this, and it went for this".

Also for the record, I don't really care if any of you sell your ED's from this GB. You bought it so you can do what you wish. But selling it for butttons of money is another thing. I'd hope you don't try to rip people off inadvertently or intentionally.

And you keep repeating that I'm both psychic and preying on people by starting an auction at retail.

I don't mind the profiteering so much, as nothing came from pcefx, anyone with a modicum of intelligence can put together such a package on their own, and he's not trying to sell 'em here at the discounted price of only $350 (DrOJ deals, brah!).

Sure, man. I'm sure you bought a case of 'em with hopes of selling at cost or maybe even losing a little money after fees.

Ok, I'm the world's worst person because I did plan on making at least 20% in order to pay off upgrading all of my Turbo Expresses. I can guarantee you that I'm not psychic though.

To upgrade all of my Everdrives I meant. I have them for almost every console they're made for, so buying a wholesale order seemed like a good way to get mine at discount and sell the extras and help make up the costs.

Thats pretty brutal that you even mentioned the loaded SD card in the auction. Should have just thrown that in the box with no speak of it in the listing.

Something tells me it wouldn't have fetched that much without it.
