There's too much overreaction and too little professionalism going on. Both you and the one accusing you of scamming, should clarify any discrepancy with the photo with each other before bringing it out to the thread (whether y'all did or not, idk). I know that he was the one who posted first and accused you (which should've been handled better) but reacting the way you did could've been better.

I didn't want to bring it out in the thread, but when someone else informed me of similar issues they had w/ them, then I felt it was necessary to to come to the thread to voice concern. When the situation was almost exact to mine, it felt fishy and I did not want others to have to deal with it

That's understandable and I think it's always encouraged (and appreciative) to voice any concern especially with any kind of issues with a deal you are trying to make. If there are any fishy/shady business going on, I would inform them something doesn't feel right to me. If they don't seem to handle that well, then I would share my concern/issue with the thread. Everyone should be mindful of each others reputation.

If you're looking up my feedback, I haven't sold anything here in a while, but I was one of the original GAF Gold members. Not to mention, a few mods/members here have the resources to easily track me down. Please deal with confidence!

I did a couple of deals with breaky back in the original BST, pre-gold status and all that. Everything was on the up and up, I'll vouch for him.

Looking for a cheap magazine or manga in Japanese. My gf is studying and something more tactile I think could be a great aid.
Anything would be great and helpful, just an experiment

It's not in the spirit of the thread, but if you're anywhere near a Bookoff location, you can get manga volumes for $1 each.

I can vouch for him as well!

He paid for some games and a console way back in the day, in person, without murdering me or pulling some fishy business. =P

To be honest that had nothing to do with confusing naming choices but rather some not reading with comprehension. The guy plainly said he wanted to trade is Vita towards a "X1 with kinect" and pay the difference in cash. If, "X1", threw anyone off, "...with Kinect" should have made it more the obvious he was talking about the latest console that's $400+, especially giving the fact he wanted to trade a item easily $100+ towards getting it. Come on.

That wasn't the problem. The confusion came because there was a proposed trade of JUST an Xbox One for JUST a Vita. It's not often you see someone enthusiastically offering a much more expensive item for a cheaper item. Not that I care what people offer each other in this thread, but a junior member with zero feedback offering a seemingly too-good-to-be-true price? I figured I'd clarify things before someone got burned. People can argue the merits of whether only the console itself is worth a Vita (it's worth much more IMO) but I'll note that I interpreted "just the console" as "without games and maybe controller, but with cables." Anyway, I didn't mean to screw up anyone's trades. I just feel like it's our responsibility as a community to foster a safe trading environment. If someone wants to get mad because they're not clear, that's their own problem. I've sold several consoles in the past and used the phrase "console only" to mean wires included, controllers/games not. Plus, it boggles my mind how you'd have an Xbox One at this point in its life cycle with no power brick. In any case, it doesn't really matter in the end. I'm sorry to cyber_ninja if I screwed up his trade.

Fuck me, after re-reading I think I was the one that read with no comprehension. Ha.

1-cyber_ninja offered to trade a Vita with cash for XBox 1 with Kintect (the latest console)
2-Isleofsancroy offers a "Xbox 1, by itself, without anything, for a Vita lol"
3-You asked if be meant the original Xbox as that would essentially be trading $300 for $100.

I thought Isleofsancroy was clueless to cyber_ninja wanting the latest XBox One with Kintect and in fact was jokingly/mockingly offering to trade a original XBox for for the Vita because who the fuck would do that.....but that was in fact what he meant

Fuck me, I read the whole thing wrong. Sorry for throwing not reading with comprehension around and then doing just that. I just did not think anyone would possibly do a deal like that so I did not even bother to read the follow reply you two had where he confirmed that is what he meant. That is sweet fucking deal if it actually happens, even if the XB1 comes with nothing but the console.

I'm going to be blunt: it's not simple math as much as Isleofsancroy thinks it is. He was right in thinking it was comparable trade and people overreacted, but he abandoned that discussion so I won't go into it (it's not easy at all finding an official ac adapter for the Xbox One). However, instead of being helpful and elaborating what he was selling exactly, he decided to be patronizing and post that earlier. Moreover, this incident shows how much is presumed when a person is selling a PS3, 360, Wii, etc. It's generally assumed everything is included or console plus cables unless stated otherwise, so Isleofsancroy can remain obtuse if he thinks he was perfectly clear.
 
I still can't believe Microsoft went ahead with one of the most confusing console names ever.

this is why I call them "OG Xbox" & "Xbox One"

edit: PM me if anyone else wants to buy some of my Xbox money, let me know. especially if you missed out on today's Xbox $5 code promotion (or were too lazy to go through the process) =D
I have $105 that I'm willing to sell (combined haul from what's left of last week and this week) for $85US vis PayPal. let me know and PM me if you're interested!

Okay, considering getting back into Steam game reselling.
Gonna start off by trading only for TF2 keys, might open up for Paypal a bit later.
Will only have one game for sale right now, gonna expand to more games later on as well.



Game: The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
Price: 8 TF2 keys or $16 Paypal (Out of Stock)



Game: Broforce
Price: $4.50 (Out of Stock)

You can buy TF2 keys from Steam Market
At the current price, 8 TF2 keys would be $20, you can get keys for much cheaper from the "black market" though.
Damnit, you know what, I'm gonna offer you a Paypal price at $16, this is a bit overpay for keys, but this will let me to stock up on TF2 keys quicker when my own TF2 keys run out.
Paypal gift only! If you are not able to send as gift, please buy TF2 keys to trade with me.

Don't have a lot of copies, first come first served.
 
Hi! I have $80 Microsoft/XBL dollars and I'm looking to exchange them for $70 PSN dollars. PM me if you are interest! :D

Edit: I also have an Xbox Live account charged with $145 USD I'm not going to use anymore. I'm willing to sell or change that as well.

I can sell you the codes or account via Paypal too! In case you guys don't trust enough for this exchange/sale I will give you any info that helps.

Maybe a long shot but I'll try. Looking to trade my PS vita (oled model) + some cash for X1 with kinect. Vita comes with official leather case, 16 GB memory stick and ffx physical copy. All in excellent condition.
Pm me with offers. Will send pics upon request. System was used barely.
I'm located in state of Delaware, US. Can do PayPal or Amazon gift.

WTB:
Xperia Tablet Z

Bump-bump-bump it up!!!

Had no idea that my post would spark so much controversy and arguing. I was watching the aftermath of my post but was unable to pitch in due to work. My schedule is pretty tight; even right now I'm typing from my phone, but I'll throw my two cents in it.
I would not deal with "that guy" because:

1. He never made me an offer;
2. His name and join date did not look trustworthy to me.
3. The way he hinted at possible trade was immature IMO;
4. Other Gaffers told me to watch out when dealing with that guy;


PS. Somebody better jump on that deal quick as I'm not sure whether I want bone at all; the thing is that I've tried to get into portable gaming but I just cannot for some reason. I can give up to $250 on top of my vita for an bone with kinect in good shape. Hit me up before I change my mind.

Thanks to user Ridesh the XBL dollars are gone and I only have the Xbox Live account with $145 available. I will sell it for $100 if you can transfer via paypal. Nothing illegal going on, so for a hundred bucks you get $145 to spend on your Xbox! PM me if you are interested.
