Tough shit. It's not your thread. These are not your forums. If you want only positive feedback, don't ask people what they think as someone will, inevitably, have a negative opinion. If you had some forums set up called Squeeky's Playhouse you could simply ban people who didn't post what you wanted them to. However since you're posting this on PSU you're going to have to deal with what people have to say, especially when you ask them what they think. Sorry to come off like an ass but people asking the opinions of others and then trying to limit what said people may respond with is a pet peeve as is people thinking they own threads.

That said, a scooter would have been neat when I was a kid but I think for that price you're probably gonna get burned If anything I'd consider saving up and either trying to find a used one you can inspect/have checked out before you pay for it or a new one altogether.

You had to of seen this coming, Squeeky. Anyway, whoever said PS was worth more than $50 bucks is a moron. In fact, check how much PS is going for on ebay - bout 12 bucks.

Actually, it is my thread

I ask this because if i didn't do it, half the people (see: lonehunter, strygun, squick) would be posting some whitty flame. I'm not in the mood for them, therefore i tacked on a disclaimer, now, with that said, kindly f off

Strygun · 2003-08-01, 07:10 PM

anything I say becomes a flame to you squeek. I was just asking why you weren't saving for a car.

chill

You haven't got it yet, you have to win the auction. Then there's that fucker who has Phantom Bidder and will auto-bid at the last possible second and beat the shit out of your bid.

Where I live, anything not an armored car is suicide to travel in.

Say, how the fuck did you get the money? I thought you had to be 15 to get a job... I wish I had over $200 to throw around...

Excuse me but I bought Planetside for $60, right now at Walmart it's about $55-$60. I've also seen some pretty big morons on e-bay.

You should be talking, and I didn't flame.

This took me all summer to save up for since i got off school, washing cars, mowing lawns, pulling weeds, and delivering documents (courier service in this gated community of 2,500 residences) has earned me the needed cash

I just talked to this guy Dan Morris, he is the manager. And he is sending me a bunch of accessories with it because he is a really nice private seller

He's sending me

Rear View Mirror
Extra Battery
Tool Kit
Stickers
Spare Lights
Free 3 year warranty
Spare Tires

and all of it is free of shipping. This rocks

At least those morons on ebay aren't paying $60 bucks for PS.
