  • I really dont think anyone on this site has any problems with people making a bit of money on the side by buying things and selling on E bay. However ! I think it is prettty unlfair and very low lifish to use information placed on this web site to fill ones pockets when genuine buyers cant because greedy pigs have ordered a number of items not for personal or familly use but to sell at a profit. In the past I would have shared any knoledge on this forum for the good of the members but alas due to a few selfish greedy people I would have to reconsider the posting of a bargain untill I and all my friends have bought one.

    So for this board to thrive and work we all need to bear the above in mind and not be so greedy.

    PS have a nice christmas all of you, even the leeches out there !
  • ***Swear edited by MSE Controller 2*** shuttleworth i am proud to admit i made £240 profit for selling 4 xboxes £130 profit selling 1 ps2- Erm i dont know which part of the world you live in , perhaps its where you trade your farm crops for a loaf of bread and a slab of meat but in OUR part of the world money makes the world go round. HOW DARE YOU CALL ANYONE GREEDY PIGS when it is you who is the sad thick PIG who didnt have the ingenius idea to meet the demand! If you have a problem againt making money i suggest you go and live in the north pole or amazon rain forest because supply and demand is the way of this way of life! If greed really bothers you i suggest you stop drinking coffee (the people of africa are only paid £1 for 10kg of coffee they produce adn we are responsible as we are happy to go to starbucks and pay £1.50 for a cup which uses a few ounces of coffee. The same applies to clothes and toys! so why dont you get off your thick high horse- Theres is no need to be insultive and so what if snowboarder myself or anyone else sold a few PS2 at inflated price! no one is holding a gun to buy them- and if you werent such a lazy bum you wouldnt be caught in this trap of buying them at the last minute! so stop being an insulting pig and get on with your xmas shopping at poundland

    Learn from the mistakes of others - you won't live long enough to make them all yourself.

    Good Lord, you wouldn't know it was Christmas reading this thread would you?! Where's your friendly spirit?

    Everyone is entitled to have a different viewpoint for goodness sake, but is it really necessary to turn it into an arguement?

    Surely all of you can be civil and post your opinions without being insulting?

    Merry Christmas! ;D

  • Where do I start

    I dont drink coffe

    I am not lazy I work long hours for my money,

    If you read the first part of my post I said I am not against anyone making money, But ! I thought this forum was for us all to help each other get bargains, The low lifes amongst us (yes you know who I mean, Did I touch a raw nerve!!) like you will ruin it for everyone because we will all become "greedy pigs" and buy the bargains ourselves and then there would be no need for a forum.

    I could buy things found on here cheaply to sell for a huge profit. But I chose not to because I dont think its fair, However i am not suprised by the attitudes of some of the posters on this site. Is that not why Great Britain is the great country it is today ?, because we are after a quick buck and stuff the cost or fairness or anyone else for that matter !

    Over to the low lifes I'm sure
  • I have no probs with people making money from the items then ebaying them, But these people take offence and get upset when there left high and dry. ???

    Cant have it all ways, but its nice to smile when it aint worked out for them;D

    I always ensure my family and friends are sorted first before posting, thought everyone did that.

    Last thing you want is someone snapping up loads when you didnt get all the ones you wanted.

    I dont think anyone is correct in this current argument debate as the genuine shortage of PS2s led to the highly inflated prices on ebay for a period of 3-4 weeks.

    Also if people had the time and wanted to they could have found these in the shops/online, but lets not forget some people would prefer to pay more money than go out of their way to save some money.

    So lets agree to disagree and stop this bickering, I personally dont think its anything worth getting upset about, whatever way you swing :D
  • "I dont drink coffe" WELL YOU MUST EAT CHOCOLATE (COCO BEANS ARE RIPPED OFF FROM THESE POOR DEVELOPING COUNTRIES) AND ALOT OF PRODUCTS ARE FROM SUCH COUNTRIES YET YOU DONT GIVE A !!!!!! ABOUT THAT!

    I am not lazy I work long hours for my money,

    yES THIS FORUM IS TO HELP EACHOTHER BUT BEING A PART OF THE FORUM DOES NOT MEAN THAT ONE CANNOT BE A SELLER ON EBAY!

    "The low lifes amongst us (yes you know who I mean)" YES I KNOW EXACTLY WHICH LOW LIVES LIKE SLANDERING OTHERS BUT CANT SEE THE MAN IN THE MIRROR!

    "Is that not why Great Britain is the great country it is today ?, because we are after a quick buck and stuff the cost or fairness or anyone else for that matter ! " DONT GET POLITICAL GREAT BRITAIN WAS NAMED SUCH FOR DOING EXACTLY WHAT I HAVE DONE! COLONISING, TAKING WEALTH FROM OTHER COUNTRIES AND FLOGGING IT AS ONES OWN (WHICH ACTUALLY IS NOT WHAT I DO) BUT SINCE YOU MENTIONED IT THEN YOU AND ME AND EVERYONE ELSE HAS BENEFITTED FROM COLONISING OTHER COUNTRIES AND MAKING THOSE POOR PEOPLE WORK FOR US BUT PAY THEM BACK LESS THAN 1% OF PROFITS! SO IF GREED BOTHERS YOU SO MUCH THEN WHY DONT YOU FORGET ABOUT THE SMALL FISH LIKE ME AND CONCENTRATE ON THE BIG FISH!

    THATS BECAUSE JUST LIKE YOU COULDNT BE ASSED TO GET A PS2 IN TIME FOR XMAS YOU CANT BE ASSED TO DO ANYTHING CONSTRUCTIVE BUT TAKE PART IN A SLANGING MATCH ONLINE!

    Over to the low lifes I'm sure

    Learn from the mistakes of others - you won't live long enough to make them all yourself.
  • I'm closing this thread its turning into another about the ethics of buying goods to sell for profit on ebay. The Grabbit forum is not the place to discuss this.
