Congratulations Swiss780! You're up for your Official PCEFX Six-Week Evaluation!

Let's see how you're doing. Areas for improvement are marked in red!

The Lifespan of a PCEFX Reseller:
1) Noob intro, typically in a WTB thread.
2) Claims to be a collector, but doesn't know what anything is worth, or which CD setup to buy.
3) Asks for help fixing shit.
4) Asks for help in the form of appraisals: One, Two
5) Asks for help completing U.S. collection. (Not explicitly, but you ARE looking for Magical Chase.)
6) Asks for help getting good deals:
One +5 BONUS Points - Requested WTB items in someone else's WTB thread!
Two
Three
7) Demands CIB games (OH NO! You asked for LOOSE hueys! Better fix this.)
8 ) Impatient, overpays for crap on ebay, writes down amounts paid.
9) Decides to sell TG items to get out of debt or collect something else.
10) Has an "a$$hole f*cked me over sale". Bases prices on amounts originally paid, not reality.
11) Defends gouging prices. Accuses the community that helped in stages #3-6 of suddenly becoming a$$holes. (same link)

Bonus Points:
*Majority of posts in sales forum: +1
*Inflated price quotes from rarityguide.com: +1
*Inflated price quotes from Ebay: +1
*Entered two raffles (Air Zonk, Time Cruise): +2
*Offered forums members $60 for loose Bonk 3, later argued that it's worth $95!: +4
*"Suck it Trebek": +1
*Claimed TG16 sellers deserve 10-20% profit margin: +1

Career Highlight:
Defending gouging prices on the same day of entering Air Zonk raffle: +8!

Ever hear the phrase "punching the clown".....in case you havent its referring to masturbaiting.  So you smack clowns all day huh?  Professional hand jobber then? 


lol

[vestcoat]

You know, all that really needed to be said to Swiss780 was that his prices were too high in most people's opinions here and that most likely he would have a very hard time selling them as such. That should have been the end of the conversation right there. There was no need to start ripping him a 2nd ahole. Then again, maybe he was asking for it by saying "Who cares what you think".

I also thought the first couple of responses were overly harsh... until I checked Swiss' post history and remembered who he was - a long line of WTBs, inflated price estimates, and "what's-this-worth?" requests.

Hey vestcoat you can add his "offer' of $20 shipped for a Cadash manual in my wtb thread for even more lulz factor.

Chris, you are most likely right.  The thing that got me was not the prices, but the attitude showed when someone brought it to her attention.  Guess I overreacted.

  I only just now read this thread and the original post has already been edited away...  I don't know what exactly Swiss was originally selling and what he was asking for it, but regardless, the hilarity remains.  Vestcoat, I just want to say your posts are the best.  Not just here, but this thread takes the friggin' cake.  That made my day!

Didn't miss much. Just a rediculous overpriced lot of common Turbo games being sold eBay style on the forum.

[khog143]

Now I have to keep an eye out on eBay for an overpriced turbo lot to see how long it doesn't sell

[SMF]

If I'm not mistaken the games was
Reserve $150 with $25 to ship.
Andre Panza Kickboxing
Keith Courage
TV Sports Football
Splatterhouse
Alien Crush
Crap now I'm drawing a blank lol. It was 14 games in total tho.
Also selling a TG 16 for $75.
