Good evening,
Why would I pay YOU an extra $300 for the privilege of going to Sasquatch? Did you book the artists? Are you one of them? The organizers have worked out that $337.50 is all they need to make a healthy profit and pay their artists, and you want someone to give you an additional 50% of that amount for what exactly? I'm truly sorry you were robbed, but that is not an excuse to profit off of something you have no right to profit from (essentially robbing someone else). You're going to continue to be flagged because craigslist does not allow scalping. I'll flag you, and the dozens of honest people out there looking for face value tickets will flag you.
I urge you to sell your tickets at face value while you can, because come next week, if you continue with this stubborn $500 request, you're going to get stuck with the tickets and lose even more.
Don't email me back, I'm not interested in your tickets, or your excuses.
Have a nice day.

Start by doing some math, its one hundred above price per ticket since it came to 398 after taxes and fees and credit card charge. That is nowhere near 50%.
I'm sorry you're pissed that YOU didn't get your shit together to save up and wait on the website like everyone else and feel entitled to the same privileges as someone who did without any drawbacks.
Don't reply? Because again you feel entitled to be heard but noone else deserves that?
Your logic is flawed, and people like you ruin music scenes- if we all went on the principle of you earn your ticket and the music is a priority you would respect that you didn't do your end of the deal and would stop shitting on the people who were more organized than you who have earned their poop up from face value.
Asshole.

I have my ticket (about $350 after everything because I know how to pay off my credit card), hence no need for a reply. However, since you're interested in having me waste your time further we can continue. How is it logical in any way, shape, or form that selling tickets at face value can "ruin a music scene". Your choice to be an asshole (Oh wait, I'm the asshole) and sell your ticket above face value is detrimental to the scene dumbshit, not the other way around.
I held off on the name calling by the way, but if you wanna cry victim, and then tell me to go fuck myself for telling it like it is, you deserve any venom you receive.
I'd also take note of the face value offer directly above, and two posts below you. It's already too late for you to make the obscene profit you're looking for for no good fucking reason. I'd also like to point out the following flaws in your original post:
"waited online for hours through the frustration of the 'refresh' button to get them" – No, you didn't. Tickets were not that hard to get. I know, I bought them.
"am forced to let them go because essentially all of my valuable possessions were stolen last week and I'm a broke student" (here comes the part where I put words in your mouth…) "so I'm going to in turn rip off a fellow music fan, you know for the integrity of the scene and stuff."
My logic is flawed… Right.
