Didn't you just sell a whole bunch of them on the classifieds?
OMG that's not fair jeez I meet folks like that when I stand in line for 3 days for a system's new release like Xbox 360, PS3 etc. Always some guy in line wanting to sell there spot and everyone else wants to kill him for doing that. Takes away the joy for other people that want to get the item as a gift for someone or for themselves.

ya seems like that top link is not working, should be a simple fix, I just have to make the right moves lol

I actually have never seen a person selling their spot in line for a release... wow that would just plain sucks.

my niece wanted a XBOX 360 system prior to release. When it was announced in best buy i camped out for 3 days and 4 nights with tons of other folks I was 6th in line and Every hour you get people walking up offering 500 bucks to 1000 bucks to take your spot in line. Thats because they wan tot sell it on ebay for sick load of money. Same with PS3 well ps3 was all me I wanted that for myself and I had to camp out in the rain for it. Was number 8 line and same thing people walked up the line offering to buy your spot. I hated all that crap especially when the guy standing 1st caved in and sells his spot.

Stuff like that happens all the time...I've seen it when I was camping for releases.

Now, I don't have time to camp for releases and I have a moral objection to paying someones inflated re-sale price so they can line their pockets. So I just wait.

The problem is more prevalent with stuff like these GGTS's as they really are rare and limited edition. If someone wants to spend 40 hours standing in a line for an unlimited quantity Xbox360 so they can make 500 dollars, go ahead. There will be more XBOX360's then anyone could possibly want a few weeks down the line.

What I really don't like is that buying this stuff to strictly re-sell if for a profit is so against the spirit of these items. Imeo sells them for a lot less then he could, lets be honest if the price was 300 dollars new they would still be sold out in no time. Imeo does this because he's passionate and is the most involved mod maker I've ever seen. He's constantly on the boards answering questions and helping people out. He has a true passion for this. COV is also passionate about these products and that's why they are the north american distributor. In my conversations with Bruce I've come to realize how much he loves the stuff he sells.

The re-selling for a quick buck game cheapens it for everyone. And for what? A measly 150 dollar profit. Still I suspect a week after these ship the classifieds will be filled with GGTS's. Meanwhile a few people that really wanted them to use, keep and look after will be stuck without or paying an inflated price.

Thanks Ezkill for putting what I was thinking about typing. While I realize that they have the right to buy what they want and to sell when they want for whatever folk will pay, I personally find it distateful.

Good job on the button fix Justin!! I think I might go buy some Bocca Breeze to try it out...

It was not the same ggts! I'm an honest person and ive been trying to get my hands on a new one with the deep engravings. I would never do that to anybody! I was going to trade the one i had with a ufs just for the one that rivernut bought because i like the ggts. Im not selling to make money! I pay alot of money for what i buy! People talk about others and judge them when they dont know anything about that person. River befor you go and talk about someone like a child would do, then at least know what your talking about before you do! I was willing to give you my best just as any passionate person would do. Also the ggts that was on the classies never sold! I have proof. Anybody that has ever done bussiness with me knows that i would never rip anybody off! They know that im a good honest person just as i feel about them! Too bad i cant say the same about others! Its a shame. Also if anybody is shady its you river for talking the way that you do about honest people! Its uncalled for and child like RiverNut!
