Anyone who has ever worked tech support will tell you that nothing is fool proof in the hands of a sufficiently talented fool.

I'm glad I no longer have to teach college professors how to use the power button on their computer monitors.

The more people I meet in online multiplayer, the more I appreciate the single player campaign.

Why do people in the B/S/T thread leave listed itmes they've already sold? They will have a list of like 12 PS2 games and only one or two will actually be available The rest will have *SOLD next to them. Why not just remove them? Or if you it helps you sleep better at night to keep lists of unavailable items why not just create a seperate section for stuff you have already sold.

I actually like it when sellers do it (and I do it myself). Say I saw on someone's BST an item I kind of wanted, but passed on. A week later, I decide I want it. I go looking for it, and can't find it. If the seller sold it and removed it, I may keep looking longer, sure it was on someone's thread. If they list it as sold, I stop looking for it, and move on a lot sooner. After a while, perhaps the next major update, the sold games should be removed. That's how I do it, at least.

I think it also helps the seller keep track of what's been sold, what still needs to be shipped, etc...

When I had my free games list a couple weeks ago, I crossed out the games that had been claimed. Once they were actually shipped I erased them completely.
