sorry, but it is called greed.

Nothing wrong with a little profit, but when you are trying to more than double your money it is tacky to bring it to the community. Esp the community that has helped you to price check the games and helped you trouble shoot and fix them up.

Seems more and more poeple have this plan:
1. Find games and ask for Pinside advice on purchase since you are unable to use the internet to decide for youeself.
2. Based on Pinside advice, negotiate a good purchase price
3. Games need fixing but you have no idea how to fix them so come ask pinside how to fix
4. Do a few minor things (but not all the things because that would take more time and $) based on pinside advice to fix and ramble on about how you can't wait to get a few more games (insinuating you are investing more time and energy into this hobby and not just fly by night)
5. 1 month later, attempt to double your profit directly to pinside even though they are the people that helped you get the games and gave you tips on fixing them up.

Pretty shitty IMHO to use the community for your advantage when I am guessing it was your plan the entire time.
