ahahahahaha omg ... you're not going to engage me... no go ahead please do, I have a bachelor's in Business Administration... I took Financial Analytics, Macro/Micro Economics, Marketing, Sales, Fiscal Planning/Forecasting...etc not to mention all the sub category juicy good stuff like Amortization, depreciation, P&L, General Ledgers and on and on, so please... enlighten me you. Because honestly YOU are not on my level, I know your kind, you think because you're 4 or 5 points higher in I.Q. than the national "96" which is ridiculously low to begin with, that you're on "our" level... so go ahead explain to me how what I said isn't true.
And let me go ahead again and tear your shit apart...
Well no shit sherlock! When I mentioned all those things about S&D the "supply" part is in this case isn't a fucking sack of potatoes. Its whatever it is that you are discussing , in this case this item... nuh fucking duh#1. I mean seriously I literally explained S&D and did you think nobody in this forum knew what the S is for in this case except you?? Holy fuck nuts! Just the fact that you thought that you had to explain that the S part is what this thread is about just shows how inferior you are right there, just plain stupid.
As far as comprehension.... so you never said that it was worth more? really? because this is from your first post:
"I actually expected it to sell for much, much more than that considering it's the only unit known to exist, and it's fully functional after refurbishing efforts of many individuals. Quite honestly it belongs in a museum."
and then this in your other post:
"Oh please, last year the unit's owner turned down an offer of $1.2 million. It is a single, one of a kind unit - it's effectively priceless"
Yeah you're right you never said it was worth more....you said much much more and PRICELESS!!
If you expected it to sell for more and you said it was priceless then that means: YES, YOU BELIEVED IT WAS WORTH MORE ...A LOT MORE. Holy shit man, whose the one with the comprehension problem? Cause it actually is definitely you.
and a piece of video game equipment priceless, yeah right up there with the hope diamond and Salvator Mundi. OMG
Oh and as far as math goes... $300k doesn't equal priceless, it has a price and a low one compared to a millions of things on this planet worth far far more.
Really.... haven't caught up?...so I guess you totally missed this in my first post:
"There has to be a huge demand from those with wealth to drive up the cost of something at auction"
So how is what you said any different? Of course when somebody pays for something...(anything) it by default comes with the "willingness" level built in otherwise they wouldn't buy it! I mean no fucking duh#2.
And Llt me get this straight, you think you're the only one on the planet that knows how demand works?? Such a simple concept?
Did you go to John Paul's Academy of Business, tires and tacos?? cause you very "basic" brah!
No I'm not completely mistaken on why its worth $300k ... let's see, because it sold for $300k ... the story is irrelevant! You know why? Because "coulda woulda shudda" doesn't go to the bank! CASH goes to the bank. who give a flying fuck about what could have ended up in your account, because you can't pay bills on "hypotheticals"
... its worth $300k because that is what it sold for period. The monetary value of "it could have" is exactly $0 dollars. You may want to go back to a school that isn't attached to a tire shop or taco shack and learn something of how business actually works. And get a refund from the place you went to because not only can you clearly not comprehend (and lie) but your knowledge of business seems to be very 7th grader-ish ... and I think I'm still being generous there.
