    Well I sold mine and have 2 more coming next week to sell :)
    Sad individuals who begrudge any man making a little profit.. and when I say little.. it cost me £550 STERLING plus nearly €100 postage, so along with the conversion rate I'm not actually screwing anyone. They are a great Console.
    ****, people are so Jealous!

    If this is in reference to the control panel thing, it's not worth that money at 700 quid. You can get similar products like sigma raijin for far less.

    The problem is when someone buys such a thing, then feels ripped off down the line, then tries o recoup the cost by finding "the greater fool". It creates this chain of people trying to pass them to someone else, but the buck has to stop with someone.

    There are mountains of these overpriced products built from cheap parts (cheap cost, not necessarily cheap quality) doing the rounds.Ive no problem with someone making a profit or whatever, but the starting points are insane.

    A decent comparison is comparing a real arcade machine/Ferrari to a "fake" arcade machine/Ferrari kit-car. No problems there, but once you start charging an equal price it all looks a bit silly

    And then abusive via PM, and threatening.
    Seems the terms and conditions of signing up to Boards were not adequately read by this user.
    Shame.

    Hmmmmmmmmmm...........Looking at the other ads, isn't that the skip filler extraordinaire. Or are rocky cut outs on black and White floors more popular than I'd imagine.

    Oh well, give me an easy life and a peaceful death.

    So it is! I'd recognise that black and white tiled checkerboard tiling a mile off. Same items too.

    The final confirmation is the fact that they 45 pieces of feedback, with 4 of them being negative :eek:

    Gas thing is, with all of this abuse and threats, they forget that anyone could make an offer, have it accepted and then turn up on his door with a couple of Gardaí, or large mates...
    I mean, we are all a nice bunch, friendly, though not as intimate as he was suggesting.
    But, eventually, he'll make a comment that will result in a frank exchange of views

    A guy sold me a knock off Samsung phone a good few years ago then abandoned his adverts account

    Turns out it was only abandoned for a few months.

    So yeah....

    Don't be a prick online and threaten people.

    Perhaps actually, i'll give him the benefit of the doubt in fairness, the fortnite skins valued at 1200 and 37 games valued at 1600 threw me off.

    37 old games you can pick up in sales for 10-15 euros, skins that are worth SFA and a dodgy account that will require you to use someones else's email address.

    Bargain.

    Someone should tell him he wasted his life on fortnite.

    Paying 1200 on fortnite skins is madness, and im sure a lot have paid a lot more money on fortnite
