Dude you sell items such as Dragon Slayer and Mysterious Song trying to milk the absolute maximum value you possibly can get. Then come on here and snap up bargains such as Lords of Thunder being sold for half market value to forum members.
Sell high, buy low, it's great ethic i guess.
So let's use logic to evaluate this claim. I buy items under market value and sell them at a higher value. Now I didn't force anyone to sell at a lower value. They are willing to do this. Also, people are willing to pay the higher price. No one is forcing them. Why is this wrong? I am a businessman. That's what I went to school for and I have a finance job. I like to make money. I have a wife and young daughter to support.
I do the same thing in the stock market. Or at least I try. No one has a crystal ball.
It seems to me that buying low and selling high is just good business. I just don't know how this makes me a bad person? And, by the way, I am giving the LOT away as a Xmas gift to a good friend of mine. I am also giving him a TurboGrafx 16 system with all the hook ups and the CD Base attachment so he has AV Composite out access. He is on his own to get the CD player however. I can send pics of us playing the system together if you guys want. Might make for a cool and interesting thread. I am seeing him and his family on the 26th. Spending Christmas day with my immediate family.
Please stop.
Profiteering is profiteering.
Stop justifying bullshit.
If you don't understand why we have a problem with profiteering in a hobby we love, then you are ignorant.
However, I suspect you are feigning ignorance because you know that pretending to be an imbecile is less morally repugnant than openly admitting that you are a slimy, unctuous profiteer.
The fact that I took the time to explain this, albeit with a harsh, judgmental tongue, is my way of saying: please stop digging yourself deeper into a pit of shite.
I might be naive, but I think we could actually talk about the content and culture of video games themselves.
