Nintendo's highly anticipated NES Classic Edition launched on Friday
and immediately sold out everywhere. Even before it launched, we knew
the $60 mini-sized console, which runs 30 classic NES games, would be
a hit this holiday season.

As with all hot items, scalpers quickly started selling the consoles
on eBay and Craigslist with prices going from double to outrageous.

A quick search on eBay shows NES Classic Editions selling for between
$65 and a whopping $1,225. The listings for sub-$100 are, of course,
moving fast.

One reason some people waited in long lines to be the first to get
the new Nintendo Wii U console has nothing to do with the games. With
Wii U devices all but guaranteed to be sold out at retailers around
the world this Christmas, some buyers immediately put their new
consoles on Ebay. Wii Us are already selling for over $500 on the
site. There were well over 2,500 consoles listed on the world's
largest auction site just hours after it went on sale on November 18
at the Nintendo World store in New York City and around the globe.

it's also not just electronics:

Indeed, per the online commerce site, miniscule 0.5 ML packets of
Szechuan sauce are going for anywhere from $60 to ‹ you may want to
sit down for this ‹ $700. (One listing even goes to $1,000.) And some
sellers, predictably, are running scams, assuming you don¹t consider
paying hundreds of dollars for a pack of fast-food dipping sauce a
total ripoff as well.


No difference. Thea is a big difference between an needed iPhone, and
certain toys.
You diversion doesn't work.

Just as tonight I am meeting some friends. If my car gives me a problem,
I would take care of the car. It's commonly called putting things in

acquaintances, not friends.

maybe they had such a need and maybe they didn't. it's *their* money
and *they* get to decide how to spend it. not you.

you're also not in a position to know why they chose to pay a premium,
nor is it any of your business either.

as i said, supply and demand. if people want to pay more than apple's
asking price, then apple's price is too *low*. apple can't make them
fast enough.

When I had to rush my daughter to the hospital, I did not care about
speeding.

you should have called an ambulance rather than risk a collision.

you've mentioned on several occasions that you've already had more than
one crash on your record, which means you're not a very good driver.

If I have to get to a location, and the cost is justified, I will go the
fastest way.

Actually he's handy with Windows. He just
likes Macs. Funny guy. A Mac, an Internet
connection, wine and a pack of Camel non-
filters is all he craves. The rest -- including
food and housing -- is gravy.

It sounds like you need someone
who knows computers. Windows is not as
easy as Mac, but if you're spending "yet
another day" fixing it then there's something
wrong.

made me and my daughters, a lot of money.

Intent on the part of the user of the term, and how it is received by the

that it is intended to be derogatory, and provocative.

Apple users seem to be rather too sensitive in these matters. I would
regard the use of 'appleseed' in much the same way as I would regard
the term 'lofty' to denote a person of considerably above average
type.

Appleseed is not a term used by users of Apple products to describe
themselves. It is a term used by non-Apple users to label Apple users. While
you might not have intended your usage to be derogatory, you have used it to
segregate/differentiate yourself from Apple users, and to establish your
standing as somebody who uses a different OS (...and I know you own and use
an iphone).If I were you I would stop calling your friends Appleseeds
regardless of how good APPL has been for you.

You are quite right in regarding it as a term to describe users of
apple products. But you are quite wrong as regarding it as a term used
only to denigrate the said users.

In the case of Mayayana, and his anti-Apple bias, his usage of Appleseed is
undoubtably, and intentionally derogatory. He has a similar anti-Adobe bias.

It's a mistake to paint all the rest of us with the same brush that
was used to paint Mayayana.
