[quote name='Doomstink']Just a thought: shouldn't poor people, you know, not buy games, and focus on buying things that they actually need?
If Darkslime was running through Goodwill buying up entire racks of clothes to resell, then okay, you could argue the poor people angle. But electronics are luxury expenses that truly poor people should not be concerned with in the first place. From my own experiences with Goodwill and other thrift stores, I have never once seen anyone who looked poor buying a video game. In two of the instances where I saw people other than myself buying a video game, it was a local reseller from the flea market. In the third instance it was a college kid that didn't look poor in the slightest bit. If Darkslime doesn't buy the stuff he sees to resell it just so some poor people can get a chance at the games, odds are someone else who isn't poor will come through and buy them.
I only really felt the need to respond here because I hate the CAG mentality regarding resellers. They aren't the spawns of Satan that this site makes them out to be. There's a reason that many of them lurk the forums instead of engaging in the community and thats the simple fact that they'll get tarred and feathered the minute they drop the line "I'm a reseller."[/QUOTE]
Poor people can only afford games from Goodwill in many cases... not everyone who is low income looks like your stereotypical poor person. When I say poor I mean low income. If a poor person can work their budget to buy their kid a PS1 & a few cheap games, that can be very rewarding to their lives.
Please read what I had posted. "This is not against those reselling, but against those who go out of their way to insult others for doing similar things when they do it/more themselves." He went out of his way to call me a douche for only pondering about doing something that is no more wrong than what he does all the time. I have nothing against resellers in general.
[quote name='darkslime']I resell games which is perfectly legal, you deceive, lie, and steal. People like you are the reason the economy is in the shitter, I am only improving the market by selling things while you are destroying it.
Also picked up a cart only Kirby's Dreamland at GoodWill today for $1.99
And I don't go there all the time, haven't been there before today since last time.
And it is generally illegal immigrants who buy up all the games and crap in Goodwill when you live 45 minutes from the border. And they generally take them back to Mexico and resell them.[/QUOTE]
So you consider people's thoughts the same as actions! I didn't deceive, lie, or steal from anyone. Keep blaming me for all of society's downfalls because I had an immoral THOUGHT, which I never acted on.
Improving the market eh? Because you take from the poor and profit off their losses? Since last time huh, so you go there that often... Keep blaming illegal immigrants too, when you probably have no proof except your own prejudices.
