RE: 20% off eBay

You sign up to Paypal and accept their terms of service which state that you will be charged fees, the buyer signed up to Paypal accepting no such terms and so it is your responsibilty to pay them.
Why is it so hard to just add a little more to your auction price and not mention extra charges... Surely you can see that it will put people off? It`s certainly not a selling point... and if you don`t mention them there`s no risk at all of the auction being closed down for breaching the surcharges terms.
As for reporting these listings, it`s not pathetic. I have never done it but anyone who has their auctions cancelled because of it, deserves it.
Why?
Because they broke the EBay terms of service, if you can`t stick to them then don`t use the service.
Just one question, using an `Average Joe` style theoretical situation.
Would you fancy going to a car boot sale to find a notice at each car boot stall stating the following?
"because we had to pay for the pleasure of being here to accept your money, in payment for our junk, you will pay an extra £[Insert your own value here] per item ontop of the asking price. However if you buy it from us next week at our garage there`s no extra charge"

RE: Can I take this back to game.

Firstly: Many games have the CD-Keys printed on the manual which is kept behind the counter with the game itself. Lord of the Rings Battle for Middle Earth, Command and Conquer Generals and Zero Hour, Half-Life Generations, Empire Earth and the Art of Conquest Expansion are just a few of which I have recently purchased where this is the case.
Seondly: The disks are kept behind the counter so people can`t slip them out of the cases...
Thirdly: Just because it comes in cellophane wrapping does not mean it is new many places have their own device for doing this. And even so I somewhat doubt that used goods go back onto the shelf as un-used. Can you imagine the number of people who would be complaining if the item they just bought had been `Joe Bloggsed`? It would be more trouble for the retailer than it would be worth.

RE: What is it with Summer titles.

During the summer period people tend to go out alot more, spend more time away from home out in the sunshine on holiday and other non-games related activities. There`s no special `present giving` days during this period and so there is no way the games producers can force a good sales turnover.
HOWEVER
During the run up to Christmas eg November 1st - Decmeber 24th Whinning kids the world over are pestering their parents for the latest in Gaming pleasure. What better time to release a barrage of top notch games. Yes an annoyance to the gamers who want good releases throughout the year but probably the best way for companies to rake in GIANT BAGS OF COLD HARD CASH!
So the horrible truth of the matter is, we don`t get many good games released during the summer period because they`ll sell more near Christmas.
Hope that was helpful.

RE: Conspiracy Theory # 1063

New solution.
Dump the missus...
Alternatively slip some sleeping stuff in the missus` drink set the tape up and voila you have decent tv to watch. It`s not selfish you`re doing it for her own good. She probably needs the sleep after all the crap shes been watching.
Yet Another alternative is to set the video to tape the late night decent movies or something and ask the missus to be as considerate as yourself and leave the cable on the desired channel.

RE: Sony Notebook Laptop for £76 Quid!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just ordered one, I hope this doesn`t turn out to be a big con.

RE: Conspiracy Theory # 1063

Just a quick note:

Buy yourself a VCR and tape the stuff that sounds good from the night before!?!?! in the long run isn`t it worth £50 to keep your sanity?

Just a thought...

RE: Conspiracy Theory # 1063

Bargain Hunt. The glasses that guy wears are worth as much as any corny comedy crap they show during the day. the contestants never make more than £30 profit if any and it has its own cult following of University Students.
What more could a guy want.....
Porn perhaps?

RE: Mario Kart on the GameCube?

Nintendo have released a version of Mario Kart on each console ever since the SNES. The game is great. Nintendo aren`t dumb, there is no question about it, they are going to release a version of this game on the Gamecube. Like Wad said Rare are producing Donkey Kong Racing which lets you ride animals, sounds set to be oe of THE great racing games.
With rumour that Nintendo won`t be developing any further consoles surely the only reasonable assumption is that they will prioduce Mario Kart for Gamecube. Why hand over one of their plentiful bounty to the "competition" (if thats what you call it.) When you can keep your current supporters happy. It`ll sell tonnes, if they dont release it theyre fools.

RE: Your Worst 5 Films

It was so hard to decide which films I hated the most...

1. Cube (I don`t care how nice the traps are, awful movie)
2. Unbreakable (I`m sure you may love it but it was boring and predictible for me)
3. Blair Witch Project (Arggghhhh run! The sticks and stones are chasing us!)
4. Star Trek Insurrection (I love trek but why did they even bother with this??? oh yeah...money!)
5. Transformers the Movie (WHYYYYYYY!?!?!?!?)

I have but one simple wish, to see these films burn in the flaming pit from whence they camest!

RE: Date movie

I`ve been going out with my Girlfriend for over two and a half years now, we had our first date ever at the cinema. There wasn`t much on at the time so I thought "what the hell, i`ll take her to see a movie I really want to watch."
I`d seen the trailers for Deep Blue Sea and thats what we went to watch. Man I love that movie. I`m so glad that she did too because it really coulda been a very bad night.

RE: For Sale: Laptop 4 sale, 4 months old *MINT*

If I hadn`t already just bought a laptop I wouldve had that off ya quicker than you coulda said £500. If I were you I`d sell it on E-bay youd easy get £500 if not more. Set the minumum bid at £450 Ive seen so many going for more for a similar if not worse spec than yours.
