Let's break this down.
Apple cut prices by £100 last night.
Goldberg wakes up and puts his iPad straight into the BST section.
Goldberg doesn't mention in his opening post that iPads have been dramatically slashed in price just a few hours ago.
Roach-Rampino loves a deal and thinks to himself 'sounds like a good price to me what with Apple selling them for £429 since launch'. Goldberg is selling his for £295 including a case. Lovely.
R-R does the deal and transfers the cash.
R-R then goes bat shit when he finds out Apple have slashed the price to £329 and he has missed out on a brand new unit and full warranty for a few extra quid. Goldberg knew this but hey, the early bird catches the worm right lads.
Fortunately I posted about the price cut.
R-R makes an informed decision to not bother with Goldberg's deal. Rightly so.
Yeah I could have PM'ed Goldberg and hoped that he either read the PM or took any notice of it before taking R-R's money.
Yeah I could have posted in another part of the forum and hope that R-R saw it before making the deal.
Yeah right. I manned up and posted directly. Fuck you.
You can all get off your high horses because you'd all be the first to cry like bitches if you had bought the iPad without knowledge of the price cut just hours earlier. Especially as Goldberg knew about it.
Although I've never used the BST, and never will, I understand the rules in place are for protection of members. Great. But seriously all this outcry for posting about a substantial price cut so members don't get stung?
I'll turn a blind eye next time eh.
