Dammit Jim, I'm a gamer not a milionare....

Awhile back, I won an auction on ebay for an aes cart with the 2nd place bidder being a name that I remembered from these forums. The difference in the end price from 2nd to 3rd still chaps my ass. Shit...just look at the prev. bidders screen name. Don't most of us use the same online persona on all the sites we frequent? Why in God's arn't we getting organized in reguards to bidding on outsiders auctions. How many times have a number of us jacked up the end price against a fellow member??? Nothing will be 100% of course, but I bet here and there we might save eachother a few bucks. It wouldn't be rocket science either...mabey a 1-3 game wanted list in our bio's and a deadicated forum. Anything goes on teh rare of course. :smirk:

If one of the regulars is seriously going for a certain auction, let's let him go for it for christs sake. If more than one of us is going for that game, why not be hands off on the next auction for the #2 guy and so on?

Well anyway I have a lot more to say but I'm to drunk and tired. :drool:

If you have read this far, you deservive some kind of sought after, prestigous award, Since I Imagine it's a bit wordy since i'm so wasted....I'm sorry.

If this is the tight knit community that I beileve it to be, why are we not watching eachothers back????

So is this worthwhile idea or not???????

Supply and demand.

Every man for himself.

Nice thought I suppose, but unrealistic. Being drunk is fun, I'm drinking right now infact :p

Its a nice idea but I can't see it working. Most people don't know how to play nice. ;)

So...basically you want me to sit back and watch you buy the game
I want for much cheaper because you wanted it first? Doesn't that
hurt the seller?

If I was selling something and you convinced everyone else to not place
a bid because "you saw it first" - I'd tell you to back the fuck off. You just
destroyed the idea of making a profit.

Cheap-ass drunk.
