CPUWIZ Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 Really now guys, WTF? I know it is well known that I am not a big fan of the occasional peddler with an attitude or mysteries Eli's Ladder box. But come on, had this guy posted about finding a PGP-1, for instance, this thread would have gone somewhere entirely different.

CPUWIZ Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 And just for the record, I am simply tired of moving countless ebay link auction posts from other forums, I didn't even see it was a single post user. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TikkiBeard Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 Probably my last post. Here's my thinking about the pricing: Oh, I do appreciate those people who've been decent to me, a "noob." It really does take courage to risk being targeted yourself, for associating with a target in such a "community." I remember that well from school myself. -ry Heh...I know the feeling...

primeform Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 do you have a picture of it? didnt see one on the ebay auction. if your lot doesnt sell and you want to get rid of CTCW by itself i would pick it up from you for 50 + shipping. anyways ignore all the negative people on the site, they just dont get laid enough.

Osbo Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 I think I would had been ok with something among the lines of 'Hey, I found this at the Goodwill, I don't play Atari, so I'm ebaying it, so here's the link, thanks!' instead of the whole 'oh I bought the games it for my students bla bla bla after I tricked a Goodwill employee in letting me pick up the more rare and valuable games' BS story. That's just me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigO Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 ryanpg: I tried to PM you a question about old photographic equipment, but I guess you aren't set up to use the messenger system. Looks like you're headed for friendlier places anyway. Bon voyage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iwan-iwanowitsch-goratschin Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 Cancel your ebay auction and give those games your student! It´s good for your karma! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fiddlepaddle Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 I think probably the most significant aspect of the OP that irks people is the blatant dishonesty: buying for a student, conning Goodwill employee (and subsequent purchaser), and finally, tricking the reader into reading an advertisement. One of the things I really appreciate about this group is the general interest in being genuine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hhwolfman Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 Hey I have an Idea. Take all the money you make and give your kids a party. Spend every bit you make on it, for them. That would be a wonderful thing to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cebus Capucinis Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 ...but he won't make any money because none of us bought his bull****. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
