ok last night a thread from a ticket seller - offering them at $750 was deleted, i guess by the op simply because they got basically hate for offering them at a stupid mark up. can we all please keep it up, let them know we burners will not put up with it here on eplaya. If anything offering a ticket for a profit is basically thats commerce which is against ToC for eplaya.
So lets all of us show that we have strong morals and ethics and while we can't stop evil wankface slimy Cannnttts (london accent there) selling there tickets for silly money elsewhere we will not have it here.

Face value - certainly no higher than $360 (plus shipping) or GET OUT OF MY HOUSE.

gosh i havent been this vocal about something for ages

I was just asking the other day if we could add "no selling tickets over face value on this board" to the TOS...

I don't know how to feel about this. On one hand it sounds neat but on the other hand I'm camera shy and don't like the idea of having photos of me on the internet... :roll:
It would be great if we all, all burners, could arrange to moon, show genitalia, hold up filthy signs, or at least give the one finger salute to the Google photomobile.

I believe so. The reasons for Google Maps' failure at previous attempts to map the streets . . . are pretty funny.

Well, the second one is. :lol:

Hasn't the google scanomatic already picked up some interesting things?

Personally I think that's because people miss the point.

Burning Man isn't about something, Burning Man just is.

As long as you don't over-think it you'll be fine.
