you could always do it as a straight off bulk, getting the people together and the money from them, then buying the item for everyone.

its what we did for the last 4pack extravaganza when it was on sale
no man, he's not just a reseller trying to make money. he's a retarded moron who doesnt know what info to keep and what to put out. if it was me, i would have said, "selling l4d2" and NOT mentioned the 4pack at all. mistake number 1. number 2 is that he claims its a 3pack. thats just plain bullshit, and INVITING people like myself to call his bluff. good thing too, from this point onwards, only his fellow retards will be buying those inflated priced copies of L4D2.

so in other words, if you want to make a profit, do it smartly, and try to create a win-win situation. if he'd done it the way i mentioned, i can see that people would likely "go hey, this guy is relatively cheap, i save rm9, not bad". at the same time, its not outright conning people because at rm90 it IS indeed cheaper than buying a single copy.

actually, that fookiat guy is probably profiteering as well. the date of his thread coincides with the sale. but considering he's selling it at that price, is still not too bad, and after all, he did upfront it, so he's welcome to his profit. still made a rookie mistake of posting a screenshot of 3 copies as gifts at least he's not lying about 3packs and crap like that.

and it really is, at this time. comparing the selling price rm80 to the cost which is around rm98 or something, you save rm20. just fyi, and this is info you could've found out from anyone and some research, the cost price of the game was rm50 if he bought it during the sale, which is most likely. i could be wrong, but thats my guess.

but considering there is no sale now, you're at the mercy of the seller, simply because he is already selling lower than valve per copy. you COULD negotiate it down to a more reasonable price of around rm75 perhaps, considering thats the current price per unit of the 4 pack. he still makes a profit, you don't overpay. win win situation.

Anyone can help buy CIV 4 ...
