How to get around ebay and other scalpers

New MessageHow to get around ebay and other scalpers (modified 0 times) leroy brown
You know the reason you missed out on that IO at CC is because of the greemongers of ebay, so here's how you beat them;

1. On the CC site they have a notification by e-mail when your store has stock. Use it and point it to a text pager or your cell phone.

2. If you get a page, run to the nearest car and get the driver to take you to the store.

3. Buy all they have and hold on to them in the parking lot.

4. Hold up a picket sign and walk in front of the store "I have I-Openers for $99 if you qualify".

5. When people approach you, check his ID, ask pointed questions about ebay, ask any relatives that came with him about his way of living, see what kind of car he has, check to see if it's paid for, check to see if the guy knows anything about hacking or if he is just another greedy lame ass that can't turn a screwdriver.

6. If all checks out OK, sell one to the guy at $99 but make him sign a TOS that says he isn't going to sell it on ebay, make sure you get his e-mail address.

Leroy Brown,

Eat #### there not going to be any more I/O at CC and the reason is that I already got them all. my uncle works at CC and he was able to get them for me straight from TaiWan and that is why NPLI is having supply problems. If you want Iopeners to sell in the parking lot come see me at #########-idirecttotheopener.xxx between Ebay and my website I have made over a million dollars. "Oh what a country" I just luv this thing called free enterprise.

Suck me Leroy

to ebay rules and all other ebay 'free enterprisers',

is it that hard to blame the people in this forum for disliking your actions? the people in this forum are a collection of people that are excited about having inexpensive computer fun. your actions are comparible to those of Netpli...e expect without the internet service. besides, the ebay i-opener market seems flooded at the moment.

to reply to this post
there are serious probelms with ebay that make it enterprising for people to "blush" up their actions:
1.) insurance deductible is way too high ($25)
2.) the most serious repercusion is loss of account.
