Re: PS3 fans lashing out at all PS3 auctions!

Yup, if someone tries to make a buck, they're greedy. Excellent logic. You realize we live in a free market society right?

When reselling a PS3m.At what dollar amount is it not greed? Who sets that dollar amount? And how do they come to that figure?

I've been buying and seling real estate for the last couple of years. So if I sell at or above market value, that makes me greedy? I always thought it made me a succesful business man. Not to mention put food on my family's table.

If you can't see how people doing this is greedy, then it's really not worth trying to elaborate on it.

There really is nothing else to write at this point.

because it's called shill bidding, and it's already illegal in ebay.

Yet it's happening...

I think they changed that to instant ban from the eBay community.

On top of that, some sellers have created fake accounts to run up the prices on their auctions. I don't see anyone disputing that.

THat would be an unethical business practice. Much like the people putting outrageous prices in to auctions.

The practice of artificially pumping up the price, is in fact unethical,and reprehensible, yet still doesn't excuse the acts of the people ruining legit auctions.

So I am greedy then also, for selling real estate I invest in at the best price the market will bear?

Apples to oranges.

Apples to oranges.

How so?

Make an investment with the intent to sell, in an advantageous market, and sell at whatver the market bears.

How is that apples to oranges? same principle, smaller scale.

I think some major offenders were charged with fraud as well.

You're comparing a home to a video game console, as well as the steps being taken...

You do the math.

It's apples to apples really.........

I look at it as a seller's market for PS3 owners right now........... In 2009 when PS3s are like $299 or less, it would be more of a buyer's market, just like in real estate.

You're comparing a home to a video game console. You do the math.

Yet the EXACT same principles apply.

So it's only greed if it's small scale but if it's a larger scale, it's not greed.

You should work for Enron.

In your skewed logic, yes. You are exactly right BK.

In your skewed logic, yes. You are exactly right BK.

Yet you've failed to say how they aren't the same. Or how my logic is skewed.

Because it's a pissing contest with you. Heeding the advice of other admin, I'll steer clear.

In other words, you don't know how the exact same principles don't apply, but my logic is skewed. Brilliant.

Yes, that's exactly it.
