now, that's an irrelevant point. we're talking about people who actually completed their transaction and who Hasbro charged - completing a sale. big difference between that and someone who wasn't able to purchase one at all.

who said here specifically? they need the money of consumers in general, which we are a part of, therefore they need the money of consumers - or they wouldn't be selling products to anyone. either you don't get the factors that a manufacturer requires to sell a product - namely a customer to buy them - or you are simply contriving a dishonest argument that defends your obvious specious argument.

What I would not do, is sit outside the station swearing the owner up and down because he sold more than he had and then demand he give me more of what he didn't have to begin with as compensation.
talking about the consumer/seller dynamic, not the items specifically. another miss.

so the only two emotions that exist in the seller/consumer exchange is appreciation of entitlement? I think most people fall into the indifference category. sorry, buddy, another contrived miss.
