So I was in London yesterday and took a few snaps of the Trocadero a.k.a where Segaworld used to be.
It's pretty empty now, just a few gift shops and a café. They still have arcade cabs there though and a good number of which are sega ones.
Only place of real interest is this!

OK i am kinda new to this but found this an interesting scenario as too a principled debate between what is right and what is wrong and just interested to see what people think a seller should do in this case When they find out that something they have just sold really cheap to someone online in any case like on adverts and similar sites.valleyoftheunos wrote: »Well those are all hypotheticals, if you knew or should have known that a seller was of unsound mind or as you put it a little slow and that was why he was selling so cheaply well then you would be taking advantage, not only of them but of a trait, characteristic or limitiation of theirs which thay cannot help, Thats not something I would ever want to do or think is ok for others to do either.
But having said all that there is no indication from the adverts.ie add that any of those are the case so best of luck to everyone who got a good find.
I don't want to be seen as advocating that people rip others off or try and fleece them but you are entitled to take the advantages that come your way fairly.
So they receive the payment and minutes later a thread is posted on the add to their error in price that they should have charged X instead of Y do they
A) Contact the purchaser and refund the money?
Contact the purchaser and inform them of their new knowledge and ask for an additional payment to make up the difference.
C) Take the hit and post the items
The only reason is as i watched The American pickers lately and they purchased some old rare hand painted posters from a guy affected by a hurricane and he was badly in need of the cash for $500 to cut a long story short and when they got them valued they sold them for $10 000 and went back and split the profits with him which I thought was fairly decent of them.
Would be interested to see what people think on it from a principled perspective.0 -

Just back home in Ireland now.
That was quick! You must be in bits? It is our 4th day here in Japan now and this morning is the first time since we got here that I genuinely got a full kip and lost the jetlag.
Justin feckin whatshisface was on that morning show again today. Loads of news about the panda dying at Tokyo Zoo, oh and last night on the Tokyo MX TV channel, there was some TV show called Blue River (?) where it basically features these two lads who visit somewhere in Japan and get ****faced then the show ends.
That is it. That is all they do.
They went on an all night pub crawl to 33 different bars and got shots and cocktails in every single one. I'd be absolutely decimated after a third of that amount. Sounds like a show Armand Van Halen would love.
EDIT: I just looked it up there, this is the show, I think http://www.inutane.com/0 -

I think a seller in that position has no grounds to do anything but post the items, they weren't deceived in anyway and a deal is a deal.
As for the American Pickers thing, I think its great that they did something like that, really really decent of them to help out someone who was in trouble. In fairness though that's a really extreme example, the guy was a hurricane survivor, there was almost $10,000 worth of profit and they were making a TV show! I think in a scenario like that someone would have to be pretty cold hearted to just trouser the profits and keep them for themselves.0 -

Does anyone know a good application for PSP that can rip UMDs to the memory card? Preferibly one that doesn't need custum firmware. Think it's time to stop trusting the Sony laser in my PSP-1000, I got far more use out of it than any other Sony laser product without it failing!

An Post have reached a new low for me. Came home to find a package in one of those plastic bags that An Post use for packages damaged in transit. Uh oh, I have two games arriving that are bare carts.
Inside the bag is a jiffy bag that looks like it's been bukakked, covered in white slime. So I open it up and am hit with an overpowering bang of detergent and synthetic strawberry. At least the postal workers weren't playing soppy biscuit with it.
So I open the jiffy bag up and find that a copy of Super Mario Land 3D, luckily the slime didn't penetrate the jiffy bag but the box is crushed and broken.
So my question, is it worth my while ringing or sending a letter of complaint or am I just wasting my time? Thought I got a bargain with mario 3D land but it's worth significantly less now. And my hands smell like lip balm.

Have given up try to play on touchscreen, just too inaccurate and messy. Which is why I'm looking forward to Ouya 0 -

Yeah, at first I wasnt interested in Ouya but after looking into a bit more I think it's a great idea and I hope it goes well for them.
They certainly hit their target anyway and still lots of time left.
