Right. Thanks.
But it's kind of hard to believe it's "not worth your time from a profit perspective" to auction these games. They were showing up for an auction happening weeks away days after you announced the sale. Maybe the sale happened months ago and all this time has been spent taking two pictures of each game. Thing is, what I see has already all been certified (WATA) so it's not like you need to spend much time deciphering what it is because someone has literally done all that work for you. And the auctions starts at $1 so it's not like your staff spent ANY time pricing each item.
You're just throwing it out in the open market.
Anyways. I look forward to your response to Gloves' thread RE: Site security.
Thanks for clarifying the personal mesages and transactions. I certainly hope this forever remains the case.
Just strange because seems like a huge opportunity was missed here. Your biggest supporters would have been the mods/users.
Get the mods on board and we all would have followed. I'm sure there's some crumbs in the deal you could have distributed
(if not at very least the NA memorbilia as you mentioned) to the mods.
I have no idea how many there are, but I think the few I've seen doesn't number into the hundreds or anything. Introduce yourself (Jeff) to them through the mod forums and secret mod threads and build a rapport and let them know what happened.
Then you could have made an announcement (from Dain) on the main page with a forum post explaining the transcaction.... seems simple to me.
Had you spun this from a different perspective it would all be so different and there wouldn't be all these questions of trust.
Now it seems like the forums and stuff are just going to be used by someone else to glean information for their own artciles/marketing so why bother putting our time into thoughtful "reviews" or "game lists"? Then the discussion ends and you're left with nothing.
