Nobody told me to work harder ,that was a general comment, as was quantumphysics comment telling people to work harder and make more money,it wasn't directed at anybody in particular .I was just lazy. in the post.

So what is the difference in using a card then paying it off immediately with cash and paying cash ,other than getting the points or aeroplan miles etc.and the insurance on certain purchases.depending on the card. not every body has a credit card.or wants one.especially the budget minded people,I used to have a couple back when sitting in a leghold trap was convenient , I can now use my regular debit card as a visa.which is convenient enough ,no interest.and I have worked hard enough thanks.

A credit card is a TOOL, Marian; no better or no worse than any other tool: an axe, a shovel or anything. A credit card is as good or as bad as the man using it.

Airplane miles and cashback on purchases are just two perks.

Extended warranties on some cards are another.

Amazon is having the same issue, only they actually allow Chinese sellers to pose knockoff products as the real thing and even co-mingle prime inventory.

The reason you used "scored" is because it's an achievement and not something common.



This is just plain false. eBay handles it's own claims. I find it hard to believe your statement that you are a buyer or a seller if you didn't know that.

FYI PayPal hasn't been a subsidiary of eBay's for a long long time. In fact eBay is even moving to a different payment system as it's main payment processor. If you were a seller, it was ages ago before eBay separated from paypal.

Also, it's not "luck" I'm hoping on. What I said above is based on experience. Obviously, I used it just last week.

No, it is NOT just plain false!!!!!!!! And what I said is ALSO based on experience!!!!!! Ebay has gotten significantly worse over the last three years in this regard!!! And Ebay ALWAYS passes the dispute onto PayPal if the transaction was handled by them!!!! As I said I AM both a buyer AND a seller with a significantly high rating as both!!!!!!! When did YOU last sell or buy anything of significant volume through that particular source?

Yes, it is just claim false. When did I last sell something on eBay? Yesterday. When did I last deal with the dispute processes? Last week.

This wasn't even hard to find. You are obviously not a seller.

Or if you really want a card that bad, do your homework, setup alerts at nowinstock and have your pick of whatever card you like.

Or scalp em and make $100+ per card

Couple of problems with that.

1) Retail prices have been raised across the board. Even if you do manage to find a card in stock it's basically going to be at prices much higher than MSRP

2) Nowinstock has about a 5 minute delay. You'd better be lucky to beat the scores of miners.

You'd better scalp them local if that's what you want to do. Otherwise some miner on eBay is going to buy your card, swap out the serial sticker with one of his broken burnt out cards and return it to you as "defective/not as described".

BIG problem for gamers, akin to selling flood cars. Cards used for mining have been absolutely abused - everyone needs to be wary of the used market anymore.

Yep, it's the same thing as the last mining boom. If you buy a used video card make sure to look at it for any solder whitening and stress test it for at least 3 hours.
