Here, buy that L4D2 urself $29.99 @ RM98-99, paying RM9 more for your pride, or pay RM90 to that guy, subsidizing him a free L4D2. tongue.gif

i'm really with Yuki on this one, its like, "hello, there's no such thing as a 3 pack." whether he bought it on his second account or whatever, he bought a 4 pack. then justifying it with crap like "oh, i had to pay installment", "oh, its on my second account, so its actually a 3 pack". BULLSHIT.

that 225 that he should get is more than enough, cause HE BLOODY HAS A 4TH COPY. bah, i really can't stand conmen like this. too bad he already sold 2 copies. i've half a mind to just go there and spoil it for him anyways.

Yuki, if you still want to get the 4 pack but can't due to your card or whatever, let me know, I'll give you hand with it.

EDIT: it is done.

Honestly I'd rather pay RM100 rather than sponsor someone their copy of L4D2 when he clearly is using misinformation to lead people into thinking the price is justified. If he said "Hey, I bought a 4pack, and decided that I should make a profit off the remaining copies." I might actually consider it. It's not like I don't have a card to buy it myself.

Strife: Actually it's not my card that's having problems, it's just that I simply do not have the 300 bucks lying around at the moment, if I had, I'd have bought it already.

On a second thought, maybe I should save up to buy a 4 pack and sell the remaining copies at 75 to spite the dude.

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 tongue.gif

wah strife so angry hahahahaha.... he just a reseller try to make a profit huhuhu chills man.... why everyday i can't see u guy playing game?

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 tongue.gif at least he's not lying about 3packs and crap like that.

I thought its a steal really..

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.
