    Nice for people to profiteer at other people's expense. Hope one day it doesnt happen to you when you have kids and they have to do without because a parent can't get a item due to demand and or greedy Ebayers charging vastly inflated prices. :rudolf: :xmassign:


    Yeah its a dog eat dog world ,and I'm not bothered by what other people do ,why should it concern me if someone can afford to pay extra for an xbox ?

    They clearly have money to burn.

    If i did have a kid i would say don't be so greedy and wait till after xmas,you know we cant all get what we want for Christmas.

    Youre kids are clearly to spoilt if you always give them what they demand and will never truly appreciate something.

    Btw did you know that a company you may buy a cd or xbox from make a big profit? why don't you go in to there shops and have a pop at them , not some student who is after some extra income.

    This is the problem:

    http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Brand-New-Xbox-360_W0QQitemZ8241957345QQcategoryZ112848QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

    People who don't want them just for profit making.

    Wish I got in on it!

    Not everyone has money to burn being a parent myself I understand the pressures one get under what with, my friend has an XXX can I have one from Christmas? (older kids) and the pressure of advertising there's inevitable parents who either get into debt, or can just afford XXX item. It isn't always people who have money to burn, but people like yourself take advantage of demand mealy for profit, it sickens me society wee live in. You might not be bothered but think about other people for a change.

    I would dealy love an Xbox but I am not getting one until prices drop or demand is less but I know being a parent myself the pressue we get on. Perssonnel I wouldnt pay xtra for some greedy person to profit at my expnse, but other ufnrotunately do.

    What come around it may happen to you one day. I wont add anymore to this.

    I am not getting an xbox for my kids, I am thinking of others as I said in my previous comment I am waiting until next year.

    Please don't let some posters get to you - they're only doing it to wind people up.
