Also noteworthy, though... even at concerts in Calgary where there has been tremendous scalping ($20 tickets being sold for $200+), I've managed to find them at face. Where there's a will....

After spending the better part of two days defending price markups, you brag about finding people who are awesome enough to hook you up for face? Do you then laugh at them for not charging you an extra $10? That is the entire reason we don't allow scalping here. We are those awesome people looking to hook you up for face. Game. Set. Match. You have no idea what you're talking about.

I'm defending the notion that $2 is not the same as $20 or $200. Your inability to comprehend this has become boring.

You're defending the notion that an undefined markup is acceptable on the Sasquatch Message Board. I'm defending face. Your inability to comprehend this hasn't become boring, it's become comical.

I'm defending the notion that rounding up a few bucks for convenience is not the same as scalping for profit.
I dont know why you are so adamant to want to twist my words and create an argument. I can't even argue the side of the argument that you believe I am on because I am not on it at all. Why look for a fight that's not even there? Are you that bored? Get a hobby. This is getting sad.

I've explicitly stated I agree with enforcing a "to the penny" rule of face value on the sasquatch message board, but support the notion that, in general, rounding up for convenience is in no way the same as scalping for profit. Do you understand my stance at all, or do I need to write an essay for you? I thought you were smarter than this, wonk.

I've explicitly stated I agree with enforcing a "to the penny" rule of face value on the sasquatch message board, but support the notion that, in general, rounding up for convenience is in no way the same as scalping for profit. What is an acceptable level to round up for convenience? A person here got banned for (probably) rounding up to the next $10, so that should be allowed? What if the ticket cost $12. Rounding it up to $20 is cool? That's the next $10. I'm a high roller, the only bills I deal with are hundos bitches. So $400 is fine? It's just rounding up to the next $100. How much would you round up when selling a sold out ticket to Shax or your mother? Again you are saying there is an imaginary level that is acceptable. That is why the rules here are cut and dry. Either you are a valued member of this community, or you are trying to make a profit. Either you are defending face, or you aren't, and every member of this community should defend face (and I see what you are doing by now claiming to support both sides, then you can't be wrong, right?). For the record, I did not ban anyone for "rounding up," nor did I advocate for the ban. I think 90% of the bans here (that I know of) are dumb, including the three times I was banned. Was the person charging up to $40 over face a scalper, I don't think so. Was the person who was banned for asking $400 a scalper? I don't think so. Yet one was defended by several regulars, and everyone celebrated the ban of the other. I don't think either one of them understood they were breaking a rule, and if they get a chance to read my posts defending face, they might understand there is a team of face advocates they might want to be a part of.

I'd argue that an acceptable level to round up for convenience would be to the next $5, max. But the specifics don't really matter since my point is, most reasonable people can eyeball it and say, "yeah that looks okay" or "no, that doesn't." You choose to see this as cut and dry, black and white. A lot of us don't. Are we all wrong and you and others are right? Or is there a compromise where you accept that your view isn't the same as others and that just because its different doesn't make it wrong?
Or is this not a way that you are capable of operating?

Does anyone know if people will be scalping wristbands at the festival grounds? I've got my ticket and another friend has one but we are one short. She doesn't mind paying a little extra but definitely not $500.
