Nuff said.

Exactly, I dont see a problem if some idiot agrees to the highest bid of $1000 or whatever it may be. They want to pay that much, let em.

I think that if he wants to sell the xbox to the highest bidder let him, but no here. There's other sites for that, namely ebay. I don't think that FC was created so that members could try and gouge people on products of limited availabilty. Just my 2c tho.

well said.

Actually, yes. We have eBay for a reason.
Sales have historically been first come, first serve, and the notion of a BB makes real-time bidding near impossible. That's not the way you would expect an established member to conduct themseleves, especially as regards other members.
We're here to help each other out in the FS/WTB areas. If you wanna gouge, use eBay. I agree with Puppet on the closing of the topic.
EDIT - and apparently I can read habmann's mind. Freaky :ph34r:

exactly.
I recently added to the for sale rules, because we should all be friends here. If you want to whore something, do it on ebay, don't try to rip people off here.

That is the way it should be, an opportunity to share knowledge and to help each other, not to gouge.

very good points, its good to see everyone in this site tries to help and sort of cover for each other rather then screw each other.
proud of you guys :)
as i said before, i was just trying to stir some s**t. I did agree with puppet in closing the post :). if i was a buyer i wouldnt want to get screwed. Specially on this site. bc we are more like a family here rather then just ppl with the same car.

The problem is that the rules of the for sale forum would prevent people from low-balling or whoring the overpriced item.. if bering wants to, post it in offtopic, and best of luck..

Not another xbox thread :rolleyes:

It might have helped if he set a price, but he didn't he just stated "paid $470 and won't sell for less....highest offer takes it" So basically hoping for a bidding war, and unlike E-bay where you can see the bid, here you would probably just PM somebody and offer and they could just reply that someone has bid higher even if it were not true, just to drive up the price (phantom bidding?). I'm not saying that's what Bering was doing, but the possibility was there. Clearly there is price he wants for it, that price should have been stated in the ad that was placed.
