[QUOTE="Scoobydoo, post: 3499945, member: 564934"] I'm not gonna hide anything, I have bought and sold numerous items here. I have only once bought something here and made a noteable profit on it and that was the broken PC I bought from 2002xlt. He didnt want to deal with it and I took the chance that I could fix it. I bought it for $75-80(i think) and I sold it two weeks later on craigslist(cause i didnt want to reship it) for $200. I spent a few hours fixing it and reinstalling windows as well as a few days testing it to make sure it was stable enough to sell. Depends on what your time is worth. I made a whole $4 on some ram I sold a few weeks ago as well, but I also saved the buyer $20 over what he could have gotten it for online. I got rid of some extra ram, making a few bucks to cover my expenses for packing and driving to the post office and the buyer saved some money, win/win. There is a FS thread in the classifieds right now where the seller openly admits that he "purchased the items for a great deal on ebay and is reselling them here". This particular seller sells boxes of unopened merchandise from time to time and I highly doubt he is losing money on the sales. To think that everything sold here has to be for a loss is stupid, some people dont like to lose money. I also buy many older pc parts here and other places. I offer rather low prices to motivated sellers, sometimes considered a lowball. To rip them off? To resell for a profit? No I build cheap pcs and donate them to friends, co workers or to Salvation Army FWIW I have a Compaq laptop I may sell soon. I traded it for computer parts which I bought for $300, so basically I have $300 invested in it. Should sell it for $300 and just make my money back or should I sell it for $500-600 that it is actually worth? Hmm... If you dont like me because of this, thats fine. If you dont want to buy from me or sell to me, thats fine. [/QUOTE]
