    Like i said i dont mind you doing it. But don't post it here as that will upset people. Also how if you got done by farepack can you afford £1799.99 up front?

    And what happens if they all dont sell tomorrow, as people will see you will have 10 forsale then they might think it's a scam or something. And tomorrow is your last day to list as last shipping day is thursday.

    And these are gonna flood the market within a week. And people who don't want these before christmas will just wait untill they (game, hmv) have more stock.


    agree again can pick them up on ebay for £220 - £225...

    farepak is a scheme for the less well off not people with funds to buy 10

    hi guys,

    i bought 2 wii's from amazon, 1 as a present, 1 for myself, guess what, after arriving in manchester on Monday morning, they were supposed to be delivered yesterday, then i rang parcel force, who said definitely today, after wasting 2 days of my time, i went to the depot, where i waited for 2 hours only to be told, looks like they have gone missing, here is a claim form!

    So anybody else, who has in transit, they are being lied to, the parcel force scamming workers know what's inside the boxes and they are stealing them from us, now i am £360.00 down, and no wii's.

    i don't know what to do........

    Registered for tax on ebay sales? Seriously, the IR are really 'going for it' at the moment with regards to the money they are losing with ebay selling. I'm suspecting selling 9x Nintendo wiis in a day or so on there may just get you noticed. ;) No worries, if the taxman comes a knocking, just tell him you are doing it as revenge for your Farepak betrayal, I'm sure he will understand.
  • Unfortunately, that is what is wrong with the world.

    I suppose the owners of Farepak were saying the same, 'I need to put my family first and if that means liquidating the company then so be it.'

    If they can do it, why shouldn't you join in and do it as well.

    But hey, if someone is willing to pay it, fill yer boots.
