NEW Up to Date Rules: Updated April 18th 2011

Man, I don’t know if this is worth of an infraction, but I feel an injustice done here and improper forum use.

thxyoutoo was selling a SC2 Beta key (link) to which I was interested in purchased. I consulted a friend to split the $$ w/ me and contacted thxyoutoo. Some people made offers but he told me that I had “won” it (proof is in the post when he said it “ends in 9 min” and “payment due tomorrow”) I told him i’d have the cash first thing in the morning and said that I was secure and that he would wait.

What do I find when I wake up and ready to make the payment? None other than this message in my inbox:

Whats the point in telling me I have it secured when it’s not really secure at all? Is it fair that a customer goes to bed thinking the auction was closed and he “won” the item, wake up to this bullshit that he lost it to a higher bidder, WHEN The auction was closed. Not even notification of the higher bid, for a possible response bid.

I believe this is abuse of the customer and most of all abuse of this forum (extorting for the highest possible $$). Anyway, I thought it was worth to post it here, and wish he is infracted in hopes to deter this kind of behavior, and unfair business practice.

Actually, That’s bullshit. The Trading Outlet isn’t an Auction house. I’ll mention it to MMDS and Fir but I’m pretty sure shit like that isn’t allowed on here.

Yeah that thought crossed my mind as well…I should have inquired before proceeding, thank you Valaris.

Yes, fuck that guy.
And this will be the only time I use that word on SRK.

I’m mad at him for you.
And dick the other guy who offered more too.

thanks jdm, makes me feel better =)

It is not allowed, violators will be infracted upon notice. It is something we’ve had in the rules since day 1.

Handled.

With the beta keys for SCII being released, keep in mind we do not allow the sale of those.

I hope I’m not going over old ground here, but I have a few things to sell. I’m in the UK and I wanted to make a for sale thread, but I’m still slightly confused as to how payments are handled, is paypal a suitable way to go, or is there a specific system that must be used here?

Paypal is fine.

whats the difference in unlocking a arcade stick to work in all kind of platforms my modding it with a MC Chu or padhack vs selling a unlock iphone to work on any GSM provider. As far i am unaware it is not illegal in the real world outside SRK.com. I can call tmobile tell them i have a unlock iphone and they have special package for the particular situation…? So i am just a little taken back from getting an infraction here because of it. I have tried to search this thread under iphone and i dont get any results. Please moderators any feedback.

Are we allowed to buy/sell/trade old Evo DVD’s??? I searched this thread and didn’t find anything.

Looking at your sale post, the problem wasn’t the unlocked phone but rather than it had cydia installed which is a hack for the iphone.

Yes, you’re allowed and welcomed to. In fact, if you have 06, PM me. You can sell as soon as you get 50 posts though, not before.

I don’t have any. I was possibly looking into buying some. Especially with a great CVS2 tournament.

Then I highly suggest buying a copy of the 08 dvd’s, when Choi rocked it.

This rule is out of control. Its being abused way too much

You’re right. And it stops now.

Mods…quick question.

Am I allowed to sell a ticket voucher for an airline? The voucher clearly states that it is transferable, as long as I supply the PIN number that I gave them at the time (which I have).

I don’t plan on using the airline anytime soon (only travel on US Airways for work and they pay for it) and figured I could help someone save a few dollars on a future flight.

Let me know.

anyone know if the above request is ok to post for sale? ^^^
