What the heck? link I mean, I love the game to be sure, but… Anyway, does anyone actually *buy* stuff at that kind of ridiculously over-inflated price on Amazon, or do the sellers just get stupid and the item just sits there for ages and does nothing? |

well, you can get it used on the same page for $9.95. |

Yeah, I saw after I posted this. But that just kinda drives the point home: what the hell is it with some of these Amazon sellers?? |

But that just kinda drives the point home: what the hell is it with some of these Amazon sellers?? They are idiots? Same for ebayers. BTW I love the Homeworld games, though they tend to frustrate me quickly. I get a few levels in and wind up stopping. Ergh! I also have the soundtrack, which is awesome. |

There are oddly militant types on Amazon that keep trying to get Amazon to police the prices which people are charging. Extra silly. |

Caveat Emptor, I suppose. Sometimes I can use hyper-inflated prices to my advantage (not on Amazon, but elsewhere.) It's simple economics: Undercut the other guys! If some fool's trying to get $100 USD for something that's only worth $20, I can flog it for $60 USD and look like I'm offering a deep discount! Incidentally CPBelt, check your inbox. |
