Stop the War! Stop the War! - I know you're one of those.

Do you need a step to get down from that high horse your on?

You need to get over yourself and learn that your not some kind of Superhero ridding the world of all injustice.

It's people like you that cause the state of the world we live in today.
So you'd say "Continue the War! Continue the War!"?

I don't think I'm on a high horse.
And I'm seriously no Superhero against all injustice.

You don't have to be a superhero helping prevent people actually STEAL something from someone.

Just for your information:
I'm working in the TV business - and believe me, we HAVE hard times getting paid work sometimes because of many many downloaded movies.
So I actually am one of the persons who suffer from all those warez.

There's not much difference in the video games business.

And I'm not even one of the most aggressive persons in that way - I don't say anything if anybody copies a few games / videos.
I even don't say anything if someone copies quite a bunch of games / videos.
I ONLY moan about, when someone OFFERS masses to the public, as THIS makes it easy for everybody to copy that stuff and THIS is the reason our business suffers!

Do you think I ever reported anything to the police? Forget it.
I won't do that!
I don't want any person to be arrested, I simply try to show them that what they did was wrong and they shouldn't do it anymore.

In what kind of world would you rather live in?
In a world, where everyone steals from everybody else?
I hope I'll die before THIS world'll become reality...
Christ, it was a few old games on DVD, not masses and masses of films and XBOX, PS2 etc etc games - like the kind you had on your PS2.

Kop, you were wrong, thats the facts and thats how it will always be.

so you got unlucky because you happened to be discovered by someone who feels passionately enough about warez, and they took the right line of action.

it still remains that you can put the item back on ebay without any hassle and re-sell it.

frankly, your acting very immaturely, saying you spit all over evildragon, for a start, this is a fucking internet forum, no one will be scared of your threats that you type away on your keyboard, just live and learn.

edit:spit not piss

it's illegal... you know it... we know it.... ebay knows it!

you got away with it once so count yourself lucky, and it's fair enough for people to have a difference of opinion on this don't you think? Evildragon obviously feels quite strongly about it, and he's on the right side of the law I'm afraid

no hard feelings here
He could have said remove this and that before closing my auction.

There was no direct indication that this was going to happen.

He's just a bit power crazy, which makes sense if you know what I mean.
the fact remains that he doesn't police ebay, or work for them. it is not his responsibility to warn you, thats ebays.

he merely acted as he should have done, reported illegal items for sale to ebay, they can then take any action they like.

evildragon hasn't closed your auction, ebay has

If someone would pay that much for a BLU that goes to 166 I wonder what they'd pay for a nonlit that goes all the way to 220 and is stable at that rate.

I was wrong, but EvilDragon is really pathetic.

I didnt say I'd "p!ss" on him.

Yeah, the threats are a joke, but I'm not happy.

I'm ending it now, because I cant be bothered and it's I might go to Hell if I hold a grudge too long but here is the conclusion:

1. I can sell a GP32 BLU for what I want, no-one should call be a robbing bastard.
2. I should not have put roms with it (freeware), however, this would have been great for someone.
3. The start price was a bargain if you consider the time it would take to download everything (puttin EvilDragon's morality aside). Not cpounting Lik-Sang as discussed earlier.
4. EvilDragon was pathetic for reporting the auction and getting it closed down. This stuff happens everyday on Ebay.
5. My threats aren't serious, but I'm sure you know that.


Thanyou, and goodnight.

but everyones entitled to an opinion. don't forget, you had the choice to keep quiet and draw no attention to yourself.

2. I should not have put roms with it, however, this would have been great for someone.

the fact its illegal negates any gain for the customer.


3. The start price was a bargain if you consider the time it would take to download everything (puttin EvilDragon's morality aside). Not cpounting Lik-Sang as discussed earlier.

thats as may be, but the buy it now price was not a bargain, and come on, how hard is it really to get hold of the stuff on that DVD?

4. EvilDragon was pathetic for reporting the auction and getting it closed down. This stuff happens everyday on Ebay.

he wasn't pathetic. this stuff happens everyday, doesn't mean people shouldn't intervene where they can. people are shot everyday.

5. My threats aren't serious, but I'm sure you know that.

still not nice though are they


Thanyou, and goodnight.
 
im sorry if anyone gets offended by this (except timeslip. i couldnt give a fuck if he gets offended or not) but this whole thread is pathetic as fuck. timeslip came on here moaning that someone was selling their gp32 for too high a price?? WHAT THE FUCK? so if somebody wants to sell something they are forced to sell it a low price even though its the buyer's choice? its not as if they are FORCED to pay that. surely if you were selling something you would want the highest price possible? idiot. hahaha and calling him a rip off merchant? who is he ripping off? if the buyer wanted it a lower price they could have just shopped around. ive got a lot of respect for you on the boards evildragon but i dont think it was right of you to report that to ebay. i can understand your point of view but there is no way you should have done that. fair enough if kop_007 came on here and made a thread saying that he was giving away roms but that is not the case. anyway the point im trying to make is timeslip is an arsehole. you interfered when it was nothing to do with you and ruined that guy's sale.........nice one
 
Well I thought the outcome was pretty funny, but only after all the mud throwing,my only intention was making sure noone who was new to the gp32 didnt pay over the odds - Job Done! :D

Oh NO! :p

So you`d be happy if you`d come into the scene paying twice the price for a 2nd hand console ?

:huh: so if i, for example, wanted to sell a cd on ebay but decided i wanted to make some extra cash by upping the price you, the crusador for justice, would come along and try to ruin my sale? surely if the person REALLY wanted that item they would have looked around the internet more? just a quick search for "gp32" on google brings you here and couple results down gbax. there are numerous threads about the cheapest place to buy one. it had nothing to do with you. if he decided he wanted to sell it at £500 it would be nothing to do with you. and the outcome was funny? do you honestly think it was funny to ruin someone's sale?
 
Dont give a shit about CD`s but i do give a shit about the gp32 and its community and If i could I would stop anyone trying to charge WELL over the top for some1 not well versed in the scene - Obviously anyone with any sense of knowledge of the scene wouldnt pay £200 for the unit - Only someone who doesnt know exactly what he`s buying would pay that.

And besides Im not a crusader for justice, Aint you heard ? Im the DEVIL

not once did i mention anything about the cds. the buyer doesnt even have to know a single thing about the scene to shop around. why would someone buy something they know nothing about? its common sense mate. HAHA and the devil? how about you stop acting like a prick.

To be honest, I usually say "Please remove this and that" before - ask some guys who accidentally (?) posted some warez links here. I nicely say "Don't do it" and remove the link. That's it-
But in your case, this had already happened by other people. You replied them quite aggressively and never thought about removing the roms.
This was the main reason I reported.

If you had replied "Okay, I'm wrong - I'll remove the warez from the description" nothing would've happened.
Even if I would've known that you'll include a warez DVD, I wouldn't have said anything if you just didn't INCLUDE that into your description.
You can be sure people will bid higher when they know they get thousands of roms with it - it's practically selling warez, even if you say you include it for free.

And SELLING WAREZ is what's really pissing me off. Have as many roms on your SMCs as you like - I don't really mind.
Cause it's mainly the SELLING and GIVING AWAY that destroys business, not the few roms on your harddisc.

And if you think I'm a bit power crazy:
I don't think so. But I can't change your opinion about that.
I joined the team to help the community and keep it alive and going.
If more guys here think, I'm the wrong guy for that, I can offer to retreat from my Moderator / Newsposter status here.
I don't have a problem with that.

But I still will report warez to eBay when I see them.
You don't need power for that - every single person can do that.

Hey there, bringoutthegimp,

actually, not timeslip RUINED the sale, it was me who reported.

And I didn't report because I think the prize is too high (it's a free world, you can sell whatever you want for what prize - I even feel lucky with some guys when they get more money out of a thing than it's worth).

I reported it because he offered warez and would've gotten a high prize MOSTLY only because he included warez in that.

You know, I've seen a lot of auctions of the same items with and without warez - the one with warez usually go MUCH higher, so you're practically selling warez (cause without them, you wouldn't get that much money).

Okay, timeslip moaned about the high prize, I don't know why he's got a problem with THAT. If Kop_007 gets the money, fine, why not? He's a lucky guy then.

But that WOULDN'T have changed anything about the auction, I guess, cause no one reading our boards would buy a GP32 for that prize - mostly new users would do this and they wouldn't have read this thread.

So you can't blame timeslip here - you can blame me for reporting warez, if you like to.

Jeez guys, why can't you all just leave the guy alone? It's really none of our business. We are all far too smart to buy it so why not just pat ourselves on the back and go outside to do something else?

it doesnt CLEARLY state why youre here, just that another community was shit. you were probably scouting ebay for gp32's because thats all there is for you to do to fill up your days due to the fact that you are obese and have difficulty getting out your house. either that or you have no friends so you hope to try and get back into this community even though nobody wants you here.
