Anyways rostovod, GLWYT. It's not for me, but felt like I had to give my 2 cents, seeing how you were being attacked.
It's your opinion that asking for few buck premium is scalping.
_
Buy first regret later
is not the same as
Buy first idle later or sell at a loss later either_
What kind of entitled prick are you to think that you are entitled to scalp servers just because you and your loser friends stay up late to grab deals.
Just because you managed to grab it sooner than someone else doesn’t make you special or anything.
Why do you think you and your friends were the only ones stayed late just to grab it? Why do you try to illustrate it like it’s impossible to do it normally but you managed to do it?
I will say my last words on this, you and your friends are the scalpers, lowest kind of living beings in the universe.
I hope you (and your friends) taste the same thing in the future.
Just to note, I also sold a GreenCloud VPS that I got from a deal, cheaper than what I paid (cost of remaining time of the service) because I’m not a scum.
Thank you. I truly ppreciate it.
You speak for me despite the risk some conspiracy theorists here might call you out saying you're my alt or my friend's account
Nah. I just delt with something similar in my transfers, so I understand where you're coming from. I would jump on your first service if it was in a different location, and forego a lot of drama here, LOL.
Are you two clone accounts?
Hope you keep to your word because rude comments are not welcome in my thread. Keep seething and just to note, your VPS is sold at $33/biennially in the flash sale. If I had it I'd sell at lower price than your $60.
I personally wouldn't choose to buy from a scalper, but it doesn't seem that he's taking the piss. The asking prices are what? Less than $8 and less than $6 over annual plus transfer fee, certainly well less than the double permitted by the rules.
I also personally think it's pretty rude to buy a machine that you have no intention of using and just want to get rid of within a month, because there are people actively trying to buy them at the time who then miss out.
However, he's well within the forum rules to do so, and trying to bully him into lowering his offer price doesn't seem appropriate.
Lol this thread is indeed becoming a drama thread.
If virtue signalling makes you feel good and morally right please go ahead. Just don't be rude like someone above and keep to your word make sure next time you sell unused stuffs, not necessarily here in LET you sell it at the same or lower than their cost because you don't want to be a prick and a scum
Imagine the reaction from price police when someone transfers VPS at double the recurring price (max amount allowed here)
The side effect of buy first regret later. I had intention of using but there's better, more suitable offer we got.
Anyone who can prove you were actively trying to buy the offers in this thread (such as the invoice of no coupon applied for the same offer) I am willing to sell you at what they cost me as long as you're not a virtue signaling lowballer. Not because I cave in. I sold less than what I asked in previous threads before.
I don't need the 5-8 dollar to make ends meet but I do want to justify our time spent on them.
I don't see things the same way as you. Price limits are community rules, not scalper/reseller rules. Let me explain the difference - or at least how I see it.
Sometimes, forum members impulsively buy more than they need, so it's natural that they try to get rid of them without losing money. Sometimes, people no longer need them, so again, it's natural that they try to sell it. And so on... If there's some little extra because product is rare even better.
But scalping (and this guy is a certified scalper - check his thread history) is a completely different beast. It goes against everything these flash sales are meant to be.
Let's take a look at a specific megathread flash sale thread where this guy is selling from.
And now, you have people like this guy bragging that these deals are hard to get (of course they are, scalpers are buying them before forum members do).
He ironically also argues that later deals aren't allowed to be resold, but his are (of course they aren't allowed to be resold - that rule was introduced by host in this special deals sale thread at some point specifically because of him and others like him, and it affected everyone).
You mentioned price. Yeah, check this guy's thread history (his sockpuppet buddy @ForumW is suspicious as well) and that's just on LET. He's a pro. His only existence on the forum is scalping and reselling. Legitimate hosts at least pay for a seller's tag.
If you ask me, he goes against everything those sale megathreads are and can kindly fuck off from this forum and let people buy servers on sale directly from the hosts.
No it wasn't. NL location was only one, and I bought it from sales page, not from flash sale. And here is the invoice.
I also bought 33$ biennialy but it was at a different location, which I still have it and no intention to sell or transfer even thou if it's allowed
I bought 7 deals from GreenCloud, transferred 1 of them (because I got a better price to performance one). So don't accuse me of anything.
If you think selling few VPS per year at few buck premium is a business you need to revalue your life.
Aren't you also part of the buy first regret later gang? You don't think crazy people can buy more when there's new flash sale, and some of the older ones are not needed any more?
I didn't accuse you of selling at a premium. I just said IF it was a flash sale offer.
In the meantime I would love to see if you're willing to sell the $33 one at a loss if you were in my position.
BTW, this is your second "last words"
Very rare. But in any case I don't do that for scalping. The only prepaid server I didn't need, I donated for free to someone who really wanted it but couldn’t afford it or something like that. You can find it in my posting history.
A similar situation happened with those heavily discounted Yubico keys when a disabled forum member couldn't get them anymore but mentioned that having them would make life easier. He got my code. You can find this in my posting history as well.
Maybe you aren't many are.
Do you think people think twice "oh wait someone need it more than me" during a flash sale? If so you can't grab anything from flash sale.
Does it have anything to do with selling hard earned rare services? What would you ask for if you were me? At a loss? their cost? or a few buck premium?
I have some less attractive offers that I decide to idle because I'd have to sell them at a loss like the 6666NL above. I'd rather let them idle than selling it at a loss because emotionally I can't accept it. That's why you don't see me selling normal offers.
Do you seriously think I can make a living out of selling rare services at few buck premium? aka a business according to you.
Your imagination is wild. I thought you were a reasonable and a nice guy reading your donating free service but I guess I was wrong.
Oh. People aren't allowed to defend me. IKR?
You think me and friends didn't have any non-transferable deals even? As a matter of fact, I have more non-transferable that I decide to idle because they're the sunk cost. I was fully aware at that time that they're non transferable but I still bought them because I thought there might be no better deals later. Some of the non-transferable deals fit my needs better but to be honest most don't and I can't sell them or ask for refund. You talk that non transferable rule doesn't affect me?
Dude, chill. No need for name calling. I just pointed out;
If you don't like the offer, move along, there are many offers that you can choose from, or go to the service provider and get the same service at full pop.
I know math is hard, and sometimes it's difficult to see the forest through the trees. As an example, OP's 1st service is $4.54/m for 11 months($50), a mark up of 68%. At renewal you're saving 70% ($2.70/m vs $9.00/m). So, your "ROI" is at renewal, conditional on the fact that you renewal the service at least once.
Or, think of it this way, you're getting a service at a 49% discount for 11 months and then at a 70% discount, every year thereafter.
AND you were sleeping, when this guy was up all night, hunting for deals.
CUM
HARD
Nah, I'm the one pointing out the obvious. You're even using the same expressions as the 'rostvod' account. So, how many reselling sockpuppet accounts do you have?
How about you not being a smart ass for once?
Oh he defended the guy, he must be his sockpuppet.
If so you must have a dozen sockpuppets here attacking me.
Nah, it's pretty obvious that you're a fucking scalper running a reselling business under several identities, and @ForumW is one of them.
Is this green cloud?
Aren't all of them?

My guess is that he's doing the same at hostloc
White clouds ⛅️
Reselling business: make less than 10 dollar per VPS. Selling less than 10 VPS in 3 years.
What a lucrative business.
And don't you think I'd use that account if I was a professional scalper (your words) to make it less obvious?
Just to let you know. I flagged your defamation comment.
At this point I'm convinced y'all can always find new ways to harass me and the innocent guy and many of you would be in my inbox begging me for the flash sale instead of bullying me if I asked for the recurring price which you think is fair and I deserve nothing for my spent wasted on you trolls.
If I did sell them at the cost or at a loss, I bet some of you would accuse me of a scammer because why would any sell flash sale at the cost, right?
Yeah, we know how this goes. Hostloc scalpers are always the victims, especially when they get caught.
Your contribution to the LET, apart from buying and then reselling, is exactly zero.
https://lowendtalk.com/profile/discussions/rostovod
I had the same feeling without even seeing your comment.
Why would hostloc scalper sell on LET? doesn't it make me a LET scalper?
"get caught" of what?
If you think moar spamming and deal begging comments in megasale threads are contributing then you do you.
I have no idea of your contribution to LET but your contribution to my thread is literally
1. being a dick (LET rule violation) and a grifter
2. being a troll
3. bullying me and the other guy
4. harassment
5. defamation
6. unfounded accusation
Thanks a lot! Mr chivalry.
By your genius logic, @Mumbly must be a host rep of @wadhah s hostcock and cockhost, what an appropriate name
I will respond to your defamation and unfounded accusation no more unless you speak with fact, not "it's obvious" or "I had the feeling"
Next time present your evidence when you accusing others of being a profession scalper/hostloc scalper running a business, acting like a victim and using alt to defend themselves.
I can smell GC from the title of OP post lmao. Turn out it's true. 2 GC plans.
Anyway. Thanks all the trolls for the free promo, I guess? for keeping my thread in the front page. Special thanks to cockhost/hostcock.
I'm about to hit the hay. In the meantime PM me for the transfer since the thread is polluted by trolls
this offer is still valid
