Does seem really familiar... cant put my finger on it tho.

That copy of Sapphire used to be mine. The person selling is a friend of mine.  When i recieved it, it did not work in my duo. I dont know why. I pmed bartre and thanked him for the raffle, even though the disk did not work. I remember my friend telling me he was bummed out that he missed that raffle and was jealous that i had it. I told him, if it worked in his duo it was his. It did, so i gave it to him. He later told me he was not very good at it and was gonna sell it. I gave it away as a gift so thats his business. not sure what else to say.

Ahh, bummer to hear that.  But nothing you can do about it at this point.  Hopefully it wont sell

I dont know why it would not work, i have a burned copy of sapphire that works with my arcade card just fine. For some reason the pressed cd did not. He was bummed that his post count was to low to join the raffle. So i thought i would make his day and let him have it. I guess he did not like it.

How can you not like it?!

You know how The Kung Fu is one of the cards you pull out to demonstrate the PC Engines abilities?  Sapphire is the Super CD I pull out to impress my friends

I have one friend who's a real Shoot'emup fan, and his jaw pretty much hit the floor

So what's his ID so we all know who to not let in on any future giveaways?

I can understand your reasoning, but I was lucky enough to get a copy and even though I'm really bad at the game I would never dream of selling it just because it was given to me as a gift.  I don't want to turn this into witch hunt territory, but if he was going to sell it he should have either listed it at 99c, or started at the going rate of the Arcade Card Duo (appx $25?) and let it move from there.  A listing starting at $100 minimum is kind of a kick in the balls.

Knowing it was a giveaway didn't you tell him the "etiquette" of this release? I know its his business to do what he wants with it but its kinda shitty that you aren't even telling this guy that he probably shouldn't sell it.

It could look bad on you here in the future for giveaways as well, just saying

hmm..  I sent him a message on Ebay,  basically letting him know that people know what he is doing.  I told him if he had just sold the Arcade Card, for a decent price, and added the Sapphire as a bonus item then it would have been cool.  But selling something that was given to him, that was FREE to begin with is shitty.  Sure, its his to do as he please.  But I still said what I had to say.  I damn sure wouldnt be happy with my "friend" if they done this.  Its bullshit.

EDIT:

Here is his message back.  Looks like he is going to be cool about it. 

I didn't know how much to sell the arcade card for. I thought it was a good price. I will change it.

sirhcman  thats the dummest thing i ever heard. Its not my job to police other peoples decisions friend or not.  The fact that i was straight up honest with you guys should tell you something so dont get stuck on stupid. 

xelement5x  once again, its not my reasoning, hes his own person and can do as he pleases. its not my place to tell him either way.

I'm not for or against his choice because its his choice.  I was honest to try to avoid a situation like this. Blue did not go overboard and neither should any of you.

To each his own.. I'm sorry my post was the "dummest" thing you have ever heard

I would PAY to see BM ever blow up...cats the most laid back peep I've ever met.

[HercTNT]

Sirchcman, and i'm sorry you dont have respect for my honesty. I have nothing against you, but telling me its on my ass cause i cant control his choices is numb.

yes Blue is very laid back and i have huge respect for him because of it.

Herc, I do respect that you came on and said that it was your copy, you didn't even have to do that! What I find disappointing is your friend didn't own up to it himself (since it was mentioned he has an account here). I have never had a problem with you and still don't. I wasn't trying to make a threat about the future giveaways, just that some people might think twice in the future. I hope that I am wrong and more than likely I am because this is a really great community!

I hope this clears up any bad feelings you may think I have for you and for the record if I do any more giveaways in the future you are more than welcome to sign up!
