Check my previous post. It's $20.

w-what about D, where I'm just in here for 4 weird reasons
-price error profits minorly, I've only done it twice
-hoping theres a rare game I can collect and then play
-buying random bst people gifts
-community moderation-ish reasons, because I hate scalpers (we're talking buying best buy game for $30 and posting in here for $45, not $5 or anything, just straight up reselling for more without telling origin)
I think I'm going to start selling without any benevolence. Selling stuff very fair or cheap hasn't changed anything in BST. The sale of free keys disgusts me in particular. That's incredibly foul. Let others know of the exploit so they can do it themselves or not do it at all. Don't exploit the GAFer. Gross.
 
Anyone selling a 64GB Vita memory card? Hoping to pay around $80 for it.

I have a little over 1000 Magic The Gathering cards that I have either never used and some of them are from over a decade ago and are in pretty rough shape. Any of the ones from sets within the last 5 years are in perfect unused shape though. The list of cards can be found here it shows the "low value" of all the cards at $121.06. I'm not looking for that much though. I will ship all of the cards to you inside their boxes for $50.

The phone works like it's new, everything is functional. The only visual blemish it has is a small nick in the top left corner, which I don't think is too noticeable.

I had a feeling this whole GoW4 thing was going to come to a head eventually.

My thoughts: To me, the Seller is always going to be responsible for any digital code that they sell. If you find an exploit, grab a bunch of keys, and then want to sell them, I think that's okay. BUT, if those keys get revoked, then you better be ready to refund all the money your received for them. I don't see how that part could even be an argument.

Now, if a Seller explicitly says that there is a chance that the codes may be revoked and they won't be responsible if they are? To me, that's a little more of a gray area. At that point, unless it's already widely known that the codes HAVE been revoked, then it isn't like the Buyer didn't know there was a chance it wouldn't work. The buyer knows for sure that there is a chance they may be revoked. On the other hand, I don't really like the idea of this becoming a thing we are okay with either. It has the potential to be a real mess to deal with and I don't know that it's something we even want to mess with.

If enough people want it, I think we could probably reword Rule #4 to include situations like this. I think the intent of that rule is already pretty much the same anyway, since we had a similar (not the same though) problem with MSDN keys and such. As always, I'm not just going to change the rules until we can get at least somewhat of a consensus on the subject though. That is, at least as much of a consensus as we can get without polling every single NeoGAF user like some people would like us to do before implementing rules.

That is, at least as much of a consensus as we can get without polling every single NeoGAF user like some people would like us to do before implementing rules.

Basically my true thoughts, though I'm for refunding generally...I think. This is a bit more sketchy- everyone buying the keys knows they're error keys.

The day we hit a GoW4 error key on a massive level for over $500 made, people are going to eat the rep loss and keep your money. People need to accept that, and...really, we should probably come up with reasonable solutions for this as a community before it happens. I thought more, and I think that on keys you know might be deactivated, they might as well be able to add a nonrefundable clause, saying they paid X dollars, and they're only making a few, hence you're putting them at a huge loss if you suddenly all refund.

Hell, some people will probably be in a situation where they say, bought $100 of keys, sold them for $250, and need the $250 more than they need the rep. Easier to make a rule now before this happens here.

And don't say threaten with a ban, because
A) scamming isn't really bannable. I've asked multiple mods before personally. Nor is lying. Rep system exists to avoid these scummy people.
B) They'll again keep your money, a GAF account isn't worth hundreds.
see: if RotTR keys were revoked, that one guy had made what, 30+? 50+? sales at $20 profit each. That's worth a BST ban if they suddenly got revoked.

Does anybody want to like... buy my PSVR pre-order from Amazon? It's the Core Headset, not the launch bundle. I've been mulling it over and it's not something I want badly enough at this time to justify the $400 on it.

I can't *believe* these lazy developers keep making file sizes so damn large. Btw, how does technology work?
Hi all!

I have an Apple Watch Sport, 42mm, in "yellow" Gold, with original blue sport band and charging cable. Purchased when the color went on sale... Not sure exactly when that was, but I believe it should have about a year remaining of AppleCare+.

Device works great, and is in solid 8-9/10 condition. Hairline scratches on screen only visible when off. Back and casing look good. Holds a good charge.

I can also include mint, unused blue sport band, too... Purchased, but didn't like that the hardware clasp was silver instead of gold when you bought it separate. The band that came with it is what is pictured - it's in good condition, but does have some wear from daily use. The unused sport band is not pictured.


Looking for $170/shipped via PP Gift.


****

I also have an iPhone SE - 64GB - AT&T - Rose Gold. Few months of standard warranty left - no AC+. Includes phone, cable, and charging block.

Works like new. Screen looks great (hairline scratches when off under direct light - perfect when screen is on). Body is 8/10 condition. No big damage; light scuffing on one corner, slight discoloring on top. Looks new from more than a couple feet away. Can take pics later, but it would please everyone but the most picky that are looking for brand new.

... You can see the scuffing in the last pic.

Looking for $335/shipped via PP Gift.

Nothing can be done. You can't enforce a seller to be a responsible. How do you do it unless you purposely paid via PayPal + fee? Are we going to type out posts asking seller to give me my money back? Lol

The people who exploit these situations as buyers need to also be prepared for the risks of doing so.

This logic means the rules list shouldn't exist, but it does.

Basically, as a community we need to come to a consensus before we end on that far scale of being very very buyer unfriendly, which would be awful, considering you as a seller are getting a better rate than ebay/amazon by far.

No, it doesn't.

The rules are currently written out predominately to give people a guideline on how to list and behave in this thread. That we can enforce with the very limited help of a mod and volunteers. As a general rule, I think we are all in agreement that no one fucks anyone over. You don't need to spell it out. When they do, the best we can do his share our horror story and the person that is in the wrong takes take a hit on their feedback record and or gets banned in extreme circumstances. The person fucked still doesn't have their money back and there is nothing anyone here can do to control that. If someone here sells 25 stolen codes which are later revoked, there is zero you can do about it and typing up a useless rule doesnt change that.

A rule for "if key x isn't legit, you may not get a refund, at the discretion of the seller" means we have an easier time and it's less of a grey area. Or "you will receive a refund"
situation A- you can't leave negative feedback probably, as it was openly stated and you knew the risk. Situation B- he broke the rules and stole your money.

We also can't really get people banned easily so that'd help for sure.

A community consensus is much much better than "eh he'll scam you always so don't bother making a rule".

Just sink their accounts with negatives.

Exploit selling is scummy. It's no different than that dickbag that kept selling the Windows keys for profit and got banned (3-4 times now).

For you.
The person I bought that code from said he would give me the money back if it got revoked. So make sure you make a deal upfront. If it gets revoked, nobody loses anything since the codes didn't cost money. Well, the under $20 ones at least haven't.

To be upfront: most codes I sold here were from legit retail packages (when I was selling at 45/40$). I sold out of those codes and noticed people starting to sell it on places for around 15$, which I then bought a bunch to resell to keep up with demand. Then shortly after the prices crashed even harder so I just sold them at the price I got them. And just then I heard about all the low prices being because of the Amazon situation.
To be assured, if anything goes wrong with the couple of codes I sold here that I bought from that person, i'll be issuing replacements directly (assuming they work. Nvidia has currently temporarily disabled all codes from all regions, no matter the source. If not, i'll issue refunds promptly)

A question about this GeOW 4 key fiasco. I bought one from here and redeemed it before they started revoking keys. Would I still be able to download it when the game is released?

You don't redeem the code on those stores. You redeem it on Nvidia's website by using your email tied to your Xbox account.

When you do that, Xbox and Windows says you own the game. No one has had their game revoked yet (and no one knows if they will be, prolly not).

Good measure is to use the Xbox website to remove Nvidia's permissions on your account in the meantime.

It should be a strict requirement that the seller always accepts responsibility for selling exploit keys, no exceptions. We shouldn't entertain any ideas that it's okay to pass on the responsibility to the buyer with a "no refunds" disclaimer for two reasons. One, that's basically saying that it's okay for sellers to rip off buyers on the chance that a key may stop working. It will erode confidence in the community in the long run. And two, it will lead to situations where the seller may claim he gave warning and the buyer will claim there wasn't warning (or not sufficient enough warning)... in any case, it will lead to unnecessary disputes than if we just made it very simple and clear that a seller always refunds nonworking keys.

I agree with this. It's the cleanest way. If a seller sells a key then they are responsible for that key. If the key does not work then the buyer is owed a refund. Simple as that.
