Except you can't search for stuff without being told to wait back outside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rdrunner Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 1 minute ago, Duymon said: Pay up front will definitely discourage scalpers though. It's 10x easier to get a no-cost PO and then get hte inflated funds to pay for it than it is to put up all the cash up front and then hope somebody buys ur inflated product. One is no-risk ez cash, the other is actual skin in the game. Agree - it's ridiculous how scalpers take advantage of the no deposit preorder at zero cost and risk, and the only investment is time (and bots to compete with live human bids, i.e. moi).

Yeah N-Y is treating search as part of the shopping activity (ie a tool/function) inside the store...know exactly what you want, search for it, and then get out! sounds just like the soup nazi episode in seinfeld....

mechaninac Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 Woke up at 4 am for this and went though pages of shock and disappointment from the majority of folks here. This is a bit depressing, but I though "what the heck, give it a shot".................. ...................... ................................................. My ticket ( what a crock or excrement) was up on N-Y and................... no VF-1A Max in their Macross page. AE still hasn't listed it either.
