(...)Whereas back then I wrote about the tyranny of the majority, today I'd combine that with the tyranny of the minorities. These days, you have to be careful of both. They both want to control you. The first group, by making you do the same thing over and over again. The second group is indicated by the letters I get from the Vassar girls who want me to put more women's lib in The Martian Chronicles, or from blacks who want more black people in Dandelion Wine.
I say to both bunches, Whether you're a majority or minority, bug off! To hell with anybody who wants to tell me what to write. Their society breaks down into subsections of minorities who then, in effect, burn books by banning them. All this political correctness that's rampant on campuses is b.s.

It's a roach coach so I don't expect the highest quality of food or customer service. I'll just keep ordering and complaining.

Also that won't work because I always ask for extra ketchup.

Most people with tomato allergies are actually only allergic to fresh tomato and not a processed tomato product like ketchup.

I might end up with a GTI, especially if I can find a dealer around here that'll take the Partner Program.  I'd just grab a 2015 R or GTI but I want Android Auto and the better screen. :-X

Many people do this.... 

But think of it this way..   That infection is just going to come back unless what caused it was fixed..

For example,  if you have a cracked tooth.. the germs are getting into it..


And,  the antibiotic you're on isn't 100% ,   it's most likely only "holding off" the germs FOR NOW...


The problem with tooth infection is that it's difficult to DELIVER the antibiotic to the areas involved...  inside the tooth.

People who are greedy and care more about cash then this community and hobby. Don't try and dress up your actions and motives man/woman up and lets call it what it is. GREED !!!! I might not agree with it but I might at least have a smidgen of respect for you then  :'(

Edit: I mean lets face it this type of behavior is going to happen where ever there is a profit to be had! I view GH as my home though and I truly care about this hobby and the people I have met here. I know this sounds messed up but if you want to profiteer take that **** to eBay !!!

To be fair, people can do what they want with their stuff (including money and caps). I understand as to why you are upset, but still, this certainly isn't the first time nor the last this will happen.

Frankly, it wouldn't continue as much if people weren't so willing to drop a ton of cash on said caps. I mean, you and a lot of other people were willing to do so.

Even people who cried about the prices in the thread, immediately PM'd the buyer about buying the caps. This is just how the artisan game works anymore.

A free market operates on supply and demand.

As I have said before, demand is not people wanting something, it is people wanting to pay the market's price for something.

There are lots of things that I would want or buy if they were much cheaper, but if I can't afford it I can't get angry at the seller.

When I buy something with the intent of reselling it at a profit, I want to buy as low as possible and sell as high as possible. So does anyone else.

And last, there is considerable nuisance in selling, and not trivial amounts of time, money, and gasoline invested in advertising, communicating, packaging, posting, etc etc, besides the risk involved if something happens en route, completely beyond the control of the seller, which ebay and others expect sellers to take full responsibility for.

They may have gagged Trump.
They didn’t gag me.
They can’t gag me.
I have no gag reflex.
I am ungaggable.
I have trained my whole life for this.

You costing post in that thread was a really good post and I really liked the fact that a mod didn't step in and delete thread crapping posts like used to happen with CC sales.

I see your point, but it's the American system of value, it's your own culture that this site is based on and run off, having an issue with it is fine but it's kind of something you just have to accept.
That said what was great about that thread was the conversation and discourse it created. As a collector of MGS stuff, ebay is basically the only big place I can go hunting and if you where to judge the value of things simply based on the inflated prices some people put on there you'd think it was a game for millionaires only, and the fact no one can be like "hold on m8" means that that narrative is pushed and artificially increases the 'value' of some products.
For example: the Metal Gear Solid Premium Package, usually is on the market for around £200-500 depending on other sales, yet if you hunt around you can actually get it for £40-50

I hope that thread is indicative of future sales of CC's and alike on here and that discourse will help newer people realize that the insane ebay prices of clacks or the insane private offers are just that and not 'the going rate'.

Discussion in sale threads
All discussion in the Classifieds threads should be limited to direct questions regarding items for sale/trade, shipping & handling inquiries, or relevant polite and constructive comments about sellers (such as if you suspect a dishonest seller) and prices, and corresponding answers.

I don't think any of the comments in that thread were out of line.

People who are greedy and care more about cash then this community and hobby. Don't try and dress up your actions and motives man/woman up and lets call it what it is. GREED !!!! I might not agree with it but I might at least have a smidgen of respect for you then  :'(

Edit: I mean lets face it this type of behavior is going to happen where ever there is a profit to be had! I view GH as my home though and I truly care about this hobby and the people I have met here. I know this sounds messed up but if you want to profiteer take that **** to eBay !!!

You costing post in that thread was a really good post and I really liked the fact that a mod didn't step in and delete thread crapping posts like used to happen with CC sales.

I see your point, but it's the American system of value, it's your own culture that this site is based on and run off, having an issue with it is fine but it's kind of something you just have to accept.
That said what was great about that thread was the conversation and discourse it created. As a collector of MGS stuff, ebay is basically the only big place I can go hunting and if you where to judge the value of things simply based on the inflated prices some people put on there you'd think it was a game for millionaires only, and the fact no one can be like "hold on m8" means that that narrative is pushed and artificially increases the 'value' of some products.
For example: the Metal Gear Solid Premium Package, usually is on the market for around £200-500 depending on other sales, yet if you hunt around you can actually get it for £40-50

I hope that thread is indicative of future sales of CC's and alike on here and that discourse will help newer people realize that the insane ebay prices of clacks or the insane private offers are just that and not 'the going rate'.

The mod should have deleted all the thread crapping posts. The one time they should have done their job they didn't. Nothing discussed in that thread was offers to the OP, just righteous *******s that I'm sure have dropped over retail on **** they wanted before.

If sed wants to get mad, she should point her anger towards the people enabling these high prices. Or not. Because it is nobodies problem what people do with their property.

But I don't think it was thread-crapping. Talking about the value and price of something should be (IMO) something that is openly discussed in the thread that it's relevant too. That way if your a new-ish person or just a person who thinks everything is like CC's and costs $500 then you get a pretty clear image that maybe this isn't the norm and that if you hunt around you can get a better deal.

I don't know how many times I've saved people from dropping £300 on an MGS CE you can get for £40, simply because they don't know better, hell when I first came around I thought CC's were worth $150 and paid pretty much that for a few, anytime anyone mentioned price there posts were removed.


The free and open market is one thing, but I feel like your only ****ing over your members if you remove posts about pricing and things in said threads and this is suppose to be a community.

Problem is and its not you hoff we have a one rule for some and different for others, just as a example when gliss sold thing over retail he got slaughtered and post where then removed with basically the same thing in that.

Although I think everyone here that says they complain about the whole price thing its just silly if you don't like it don't say anything at all, and again lots of people are hypocritical when in private sales, as I know of keys sold well well over retail but on the forum they act like bloody angels, anyway ending rant can everyone just shut the actual hell up for once, and just leave it to people wanting to buy something or the key maker saying they don't want something to happen nothing makes me saltier than seeing nice people turn into rabbid animals over keycaps you lot would bloody eat your own leg .-.

Also I was more referring to the silent auction bs the prices I didn't like but I even wished the OP the best! What irritated me was stating the price and then taking offers for a larger amount and not notifying anyone else! That's against the forum rules and was a **** move IMO. If you read the actual thread you will see that that I did not thread crap at all. It's my opinion and I'm sticking to it haha I know we all have them. I don't want to start a huge thing here I was just stating my opinion and actually did not even mention this particular situation at all in my original post.

I'm not trying to single you out. I've fought that fight before, but then I realized that it's a pointless battle because it's not my property and in the end nobody is going to appreciate it. All that will happen is **** is going to go on in PMs. Like how most of GH's top collectors get half of their **** anyway.

Ahh no didn't even know about that tbh its not really aimed at anyone in particular, just mainly people selling and asking for well over $200+ but then being all ohh I would never sell over retail rah rah blah, myself I have yet to buy one with a markup just makes me annoyed because if I name them I'm a scumbag but they basically lie to everyone if I don't :X

@Az yeah it is indeed man.

Gotta say I think most people are just salty at the moment over not being the one to get all those brocaps, just people stop complaining please I hate it when I see people who seem to be nice complain over everything, shusssh just hug and make up.

Again, not OP's problem. You'd be a fool to turn down somebody that is offering you way more than you want. Niceness doesn't pay the bills. If you want to be angry, go after the people offering the exaggerated prices. They are the one setting the market value. Why doesn't anybody give **** to 3love or synjin? You dudes pick and choose too much.

I don't really have an issue with an original owner selling things like keysets or custom keyboards at a profit at a later date -- I'm not interested in artisan caps so I'm not even going to weigh in on that.

I tend to have more of an issue when someone does what I'll call "community arbitrage" by taking advantage of someone selling to the community at a low price only to immediately flip it for sale at a much higher price. That just leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
