Just had to put this here... There are some REALLY desperate ppl who think they can bump up the price of something just because you're looking for that item...

A few weeks ago, I put up an ad in a local gaming forum, asking whether someone had the PC game Hitman: Blood Money... Figured I'd try to get a cheaper copy this time... And the reply that came in today was...

If you still interested in hitman blood money i will sell it to you for about 50 dollar if you want only 30 dollar i will gladly burn if for u with crack from megagame.com and to unlock it with bundles supplies. And if you still want the game, come meet me in mrt boon keng station at north east line. Do you know outside sell for 54.90cent so is very cheap already. Blah blah blah...

The moment I read it, I was like... WTF??!??!? Think I'm a gullible kid ah?? And for my defense, my ad simply put...

I'm looking for this recent game, Hitman: Blood Money... Must have everything that came with the box, and in good condition... Willing to pay at least $30 for the game... PM me if any are interested...

Exchange probably at city hall or orchard mrt... =)

That guy wrote 4 things that pissed me off...
1) I already said I looking for PC game with box... of course I want original... pirated games don't come with boxes...
2) I said at least $30... Doesn't mean you can bump up the price to $50, esp for a 2nd hand game...
3) And I DO KNOW how much it costs in stores... You think $4.90 discount very big ah? Won't even cover my transport to the station and back...
4) I already said, exchange at city hall or orchard mrt... you come and tell me boon keng mrt... wtf...

So desperate for the cash issit? No one will want to buy it either lah... $50 for a game thats like nearly 6 months old and no one's really playing it anymore? Gimme a break... I can get a first hand copy of it for $45... Why should I pay $50 for a 2nd hand copy? Still say he'll burn for me and give me a crack for $30... Pls lah... I'm not that gullible... Might as well just borrow from him, then I burn it myself right?

I sent back this reply...

Sorry bro... I can get a first hand copy for $45... I said $30 cos its already 2nd hand. 2nd hand games don't go for $50... esp after so long... doesn't matter whether you give a crack or not... I prefer not to crack my games...

Thanks anyway...

And thats me being nice... =)

No one's going to walk all over me anymore... Too bad for him... $50 might as well buy from the store... Heh...
