First, the attitude of myself and some of the other members shouldn't come as a surprise. Hating gougers is par for the course at many other gaming forums.
Second, half the reason we're ragging on you is because you're off topic. You'll seriously get a better response if you start your own thread. Telling people in the gouging thread that it's a negative waste of time is like an atheist going into a mosque and arguing about God.
Third, the a$$hole phenomenon didn't spring out of nowhere. It's a symptom of years and years of watching the games we love skyrocket in price while an endless parade of resellers cycle through. If Kami's gouging or your sympathizing were first-time occurrences, then yeah, our retaliation would be a bit harsh. The truth is, Necro tells sympathizing noobs to stay on topic or get the f*ck out of this thread every two weeks. Don't take it personally.
The lifespan of a PCEFX reseller:
1) Noob intro, typically in a WTB thread.
2) Claims to be a collector, but doesn't know what anything is worth, or which CD setup to buy.
3) Asks for help fixing shit.
4) Asks for help in the form of appraisals.
5) Asks for help completing U.S. collection.
6) Asks for help getting good deals.
7) Demands CIB games.
8 ) Impatient, overpays for crap on ebay, writes down amounts paid.
9) Decides to sell TG items to get out of debt or collect something else.
10) Has an "a$$hole f*cked me over sale". Bases prices on amounts originally paid, not reality. (Kami even said that the only reason he bid so high was that he thought the Duo was new, yet when it comes time to sell...)
11) Defends gouging prices. Accuses the community that helped in stages #3-6 of suddenly becoming a$$holes.
Edited: additions and spelling.
