Ask whoever that girls ends up marrying  

 

Hah, "Well, my father would've flown clear across the world to get me my..."

"Well, I've got news for you, you should've married your father if you wanted to continue life as a spoiled brat!"

"Ah, and what does that mean?"

"'What does it mean?'! What part didn't you understand?"

"That's it, Scampers, I'm leaving!"

"Fine! Good, I want you to leave... In fact, you can't leave, I'm throwing you out!"

 

This thread's fun... I want a Scampers: the Menace t-shirt.

 

\\QFT!!!!! hahahahahhahaa

 

ANYTHING will flip if there's a short supply and high demand. And honestly, impatient people feed that business, not the people who sell. Normally when something bad happens, we blame the person who commits the act, ie. drug dealer, and we don't blame the victim/client. In this case, the blame lies solely on the people who do indeed throw money at these things instead of just waiting for them. Take Shockwave. People were paying double price BEFORE shipping on this dude. Now he's saturated for the most part. Like a month or two later.

 

bingo!

 

best price i saw on the ps3 was 2800 shipped overnight 2 days before christmas... people want the "new thing" if anything i wanna get this for my nieces since they will enjoy it.. its a supply/demand thing just like with any tech yes you will be able to own it soon enough, but to some people it never is soon enough..

 

and now you get it.. as a culture we are raised that we want it now now now.. i know for a fact there are some people who have pre orders of mp10 but go hunting for it in stores because they can have it NOW...

 

Even for other forms of crack I'd sooner blame the consumer than the seller, as they're the ones creating the market & who'll ultimately keep it alive. The dealers are simply filling said market before it gets filled for them.

 

Yes! Exactly! I don't understand why more people don't get this! Whether its scalpers on ebay or even some over inflated preorders from reputable online retailers that sell out immediately. (before people even bother trying to get the items at retail prices first)

Yes! I suddenly have the urge to play Ladybug or Pepper II
I don't know which system I loved more Colecovision or Intellivision. One of my favorite video games of all time (which I still play sometimes) is Advanced Dungeons & Dragons: The Treasure of Tarmin. No one ever knows what I am talking about, but I love it!

 

I wasn't trying to blame sellers. I know that buyers are the problem. I've web been guilty of it myself a few times.

But 2800 for a ps3... That's batshit crazy.

 

for some reason i quoted you instead of saying a general thing.. it wasnt directed at you at all broski!!!!

yeah i saw that and went damn.. i shoulda held out.. i let mine go used first month for 1200.. boy do i regret that now lol....


even if the market is flooded with something someone will want it NOW!!! kinda like sdcc bruticus.. they wanted the exclusive NOW!!!

 

Lol that's sad that you can regret turning a $600 profit on a $600 piece of machinery.
