Let's all learn a new word folks, so we won't be called stupid or anything like that by our friends!

The word of the day is scalping.

Code:
scalp  (skalp)
v. scalped, scalp·ing, scalps
v.tr.
3. To resell at a price higher than the established value: scalping tickets to the baseball game.
1. To engage in the reselling of something, such as tickets, at a price higher than the established value.
Can anyone create a sentence with the word 'scalping' in it??

Unfortunatly China and HK have made a rod for there own backs because of past history due to badly made just about everything and although things are for sure changing as they are getting better all round, it will take some to convince the world and it does not matter if it is HK or China as to the rest of the world they are same same.

I could be mistaken, but I suggest you re-read the forum rules.

We all know YOU will not buy it as you already said but let me tell you something mate...
I never said that, I've been one of the most enthusiastic proponents of the N9.
Nothing like Mike, but enthusiastic overall, albeit increasingly despondent/jaded.

DONT mess with me when it comes to business because i never joke and i AM English.
I can take a joke but your now taking it beyond that... you understand me here ????.
LOL, are you threatening me?
Because if you are I'm not the least bit frightened.

While everyone has been ranting and raving on this thread about the N9 i have been doing some work finding out who inthis world will get it first and beacuse of that i will be among the first to actually get the device direct from Nokia NOT a copy but the official N9.

Now if i want to sell them for a miilion each then that is entirely up to me and if someone is mad enough to pay that then so be it i will not stop them!.

Even after i found out who will get it first i still have not got a price because Nokia are holding onto that till the very last second it seems.

But at least i will have them in my hands before i even put them on here and other places for sale, or i would already have joined that guy on Ebay.

I just dont need stupid comments from the likes of jalyst.

Your comment "it is not appropriate" is just about the most rediculos thing i ever seen you write.

PS Forum rules about what ????.

Work it out for yourself, you're an industrious/entrepreneurial chap apparently.

For the record, I have no issue with abill_uk selling the N9 via this forum. I don't think it's fair to accuse of him of scalping, since we do not know the SRP of the N9. My joke was at the expense of Nokia and its abandoned-before-release N9. The way things are looking, abill_uk may be the only hope of getting one if you are in the UK.
