Trade-N-Games Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 I sense a new negative force on the forums. 1023441[/snapback] I know what you mean. I have been super negative lately. But sometimes people just get sick of the same old things going on and people thinking they are 1 step ahead and think all of a sudden they are the best video game sellers and buyers in the world with the best stuff. I think ebay for the most part is a buyers market the new yard sale of the world for many deals to be found. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What bugs me even more is people who only come here to sell shit and have absolutely nothing to contribute at all. On most other forums I read, those people get banned for spamming.

64squares Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 Actually, ever once in a blue moon something does slip through the cracks--just ask Video Game Addict. 1023444[/snapback] VGA retired. 1023446[/snapback] Is that what they call marriage these days? I thought he was just going in to semi-retirement to pay for the wedding? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What bugs me even more is people who only come here to sell shit and having absolutely nothing to contribute at all. On most other forums I read, those people get banned for spamming. 1023461[/snapback] Ok here we go...One thing I will say is..you are right if you think I come to this forum to learn about what is worth my time and what is not..in regards to resale. I am not a collector..I do this to turn a profit. That is correct..yes I said it..I buy things and resell them. If I wanted to be a collector, I could..I do have deep pockets, however I am not wanting to keep my $$ in games. I am sure the cost of rare games will continue to rise..or will they? Look at Ikari and Motorodeo... As far as spamming, that is what this forum is for..I think it is called MARKET PLACE.. As in a place to sell or buy, to mention an auction that is either some one elses or your own. So with that..I am within the guidelines of AA. If the bottom line is, people who buy just to resell at a profit is wrong..well that is another issue all together...that is call Capitalism..and is part of the American way. If you get pissed due to you not being the only one getting the cheap games..well get over it. I scan the Atari games..all of the time..just like everyone else on here. Am I the only one who buys to resell? I doubt it as I have seen MANY on AA reselling games they bought only to turn a profit. So let's get off our high horse and admit..there are sellers and there are collectors..and many collectors are sellers with the intent on making a profit..

It's not like they actually even have to pay anything to advertise here yet half of them come in here with a holier than thou attitude. Still, I'm sure shirleysswapshop will have some great justification for his/her under the table non-contributing antics. Afterall, they are great for the community, right? *sigh* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are nothing but a reseller who has absolutely nothing else to contribute to this hobby. At least some of the others here who do so contribute in some way. You contribute absolutely nothing.

If you're a collector (and most of us are!), you can use these forums as a tool to buy, sell, and trade, as well as point out (and advertise your own) eBay auctions.

I am not justifying my selling of any atari product. I do what I do..because I have fun doing it. If I make a profit, that is even better. Don't expect me to stop buying or selling.

I think ebay for the most part is a buyers market the new yard sale of the world for many deals to be found. 1023455[/snapback] I quote myself again and wonder why and how people think "I am going to sell video games on ebay now". The nice thing about video games that makes them super easy to sell is they have their name printed rigth on them and the date most of the time so its super easy to find out whats its worth. I got a huge lot of Gi Joe figures a few weks ago from a walk in at my Video game store and i dont even know the names of one of them. talk about a hard time to list them all out 1 at a time. I bet I could double my money if i sold them 1 by one. funny thing is i bet there is A Gi joe web site with people acting just like this post making fun of someone who is about to buy my gi joe set just to make a profit since they know each and every figure. Its like an alter world with the same thing going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buy games on ebay and relist them to make a profit so I can buy more is digging a ditch...well it is a pretty deep one then. Well, maybe I am wrong...I'll take all of the rare games..and put them on auction with a buy it now price of a dollar. Would that make it right? The funny thing is, quite a few of my auctions were won by AA members..so I must be selling within the pricing structure of the games value..so I know for a fact, I am not selling for over the value..so really..where is the problem?

You're doing a service for the Atariage community and the collectors in particular. Thank you. I couldn't ever in a million years have amassed a collection of over 10,000 games without the likes of people like you. You are only here to help me. Thanks.

Ed Siegler Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 where is the problem? You have a holier than thou attitude (including posts that contain yelling), and it is painfully obvious that you can't take a hint about the fact that most everyone posting in this thread doesn't really want you around here. On this note, this thread has now left the building. As WIZ would say: "*click*" P.S. I can't believe that this B.S. made me stop lurking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
