Quote:They're either in dire need of a donation, or they're just rude. Really they're selling something that doesn't belong to them, in a similar fashion that people come in and KS a map that doesn't belong to them.
So if maps can belong to people, why cant fm spots? That being said, if no one owns the fm spots, then what is someone who's "taking up" two fm spots moving over for?
Quote:I didn't remember exactly what happened, but I do know this. I get really annoyed when I go to a restaurant and a waiter asks me for a tip because "as claimed at the bottom of the menu in small words, there's a x% service fee".
I'm guessing for me to produce that kind of response, one of the following must have occurred:
1) You insisted that I pay up in a time that I was broke
2) You asked in a manner that made it sound like MY obligation to pay you
3) You denied it (which doesn't seem very likely since you asked for it)
Otherwise nothing would evoke that kind of response from me and I would have paid you.
What happened was you were desparate for money and was like "JACKK HELP ME FIND A SELLER FOR MY GEN 30@@@@@" so I asked my buddy list a few times, then jokingly went "Harrisonized S> Gen 30 (Buy so I get my splits)" in which you threw the whole waiter thing. I wasnt even seriously asking for the money and would never have taken it off you (hell, when you're broke, I sometimes give you pot money and tell you you dont have to pay the measley 1-2 mill back) but the notion that me choosing to HS for you was appalling, that's all.
Quote:As everyone (which I'm pretty sure), would agree, ALL transactions are final, unless somehow you want to be known as a liar, then the store owner's reputation would go down.
Again, you're missing the point. It has nothing to do with sales ethics, it has the idea of having different perspectives on a matter in which no one is wrong. Most people dont know and Im not sure if its the same in the US, but here in Canada, if there is a price that's wrong, whether higher or lower, they're supposed to give you the item for free, granted it is below a certain amount.
As I was saying though, it is up to the person who bought the item to decide whether or not to give it back (as some people do when they find mispriced items and the seller asks nicely for it back), just like it's up to the person to choose whether or not to move over so more people can fit in. Some people will give it back while others will not (like yourself) and people like VoltesV and others will criticize you for taking advantage of a situation while others will find there is no problem with it, just like the situation with FM spots (though Im not sure why you still dont understand that Im referring to the concept, not the deed)
