Sounds like you're doing well with your BR Saynothing!
Unfortunately I am still at work for another 3 bloody hours, late-shift tonight, not finishing until 9pm - then at least another hour home, gotta eat and such, can't say when I'll be able to do this for you, sorry! Will check back with you later on anyway!
------------ OK - back home, but not much T$ atm.. Was planning on having a big session.. Unfortunately kinda had a little bit too much gear(smack).. kind mild OD actually - didn't require ambo, but took my missus a bit of effort to get me conscious again ( ) such is the life as it is.. Anyway - I am LUCID now, which is grand.. but still pretty fooooooking stoned, not quite ready to play the pokers yet, a bit too much on the Nod (play poker on the nod is kinda balls, one minute you're playing a hand and then seeming in no time at all you're mysteriously waking up again 4 hands later with no idea wtf just happened).
So, my point being.. drugs are baaaad m'kat... But I should

Yeah - seems that way.. if you keep it up, I might put you into a $20 MTT staking deal if you're interested, not tonight - but if you keep up the good results.

Besides the fact that it seems that same rules dont apply for everyone, when reading such threads, first you start yelling at persons creating them, and then you fall right under.
And second whats the point to create one in order to get 99.6 cents out of 100. Isnt that a waste of time for all the ones taking the T$? Cause the only one is taking a benefit here is jess.

Whilst retribution is pretty quick to jump on people asking for stakes etc, I'm not - if you look over most threads, I'm rarely vocal in them - unless they're obviously attempts to scam people - and occasionally if I'm grumpy and it's somebody just begging for money and they've got <10 posts or something, even then - I'm rarely serious, but I admit to the odd sarcastic comment.
Regarding rules not applying to everyone, fair call and I wouldn't have an issue if my thread was closed by Admin. In saying that, I remember when those relevant forum rules were created and it was only because of people being scammed / upset as a result of such things. Selling T$ has no opportunity for scamming - as no one sends first, Stars facilitates it once both people have made an agreement - so from a pragmatic point of view, this isn't really what the forum rules were combating.

This isn't really correct or fair - I mean, how big is the average winning SNG players ROI%? Every dollar counts - I am sure as a result of these T$ tades saynothing must have scored at least an extra $1 or $2. It's hard to argue it's a waste of time, since it's essentially free money. People seem happy at the idea of receiving money/mob points as a result of posting on this forum.. Well - this is just a micro-payment as well, but it all adds up.. They guy on 2+2 that I've sold off over $2k to in the last week or so has made around $8 or so, which isn't nothing.. most people here would happily accept a free $8. Basically it's free money, it's not much, especially on amount <$100, but so what? It's still money for nothing.

THIS definitely isn't fair and I resent you saying this. If these people are going to play MTT/SNG with their money anyway - then how am I the only one benefiting? I am actually taking a LOSS, they're getting free money.. If you are going to buy into a game for $11, regardless and I give you the chance to buy in for $10.94 or whatever instead - how am I the only one gaining, it's actually 6% less rake than usual for you.
Also - on 2+2 I am able to sell this off for .997, .998 and even .999 on the dollar - and it gets snapped up in seconds, believe me - because unlike you, people there don't seem to think free money is pointless / waste of time. On here I'm selling for .995 as a FAVOUR to my brm friends, I could simply sell it all on 2+2 for less of a loss.
As far as I can tell - I benefit - because it allows me to cashout my T$ and the people trading with me benefit as well - since they're getting into the SNGs/MTTs they were GOING TO PLAY ANYWAY for a little bit cheaper than they would otherwise.
It's all harmless and safe, no one is getting scammed. And everyone get's a benefit from it.

I didnt say anyone is getting scammed. You explained in the first post how the system works, so there is no chance of scamming. And even if that wasnt a factor, you are a well known member in this forum, so dealing outside it ,wouldnt be a problem also.
Now regarding the gain. Im sorry but i dont see any. Someone who buys in a tourney with a 11$ buy in, i dont think will give much thought about gaining 6 cents. But thats just me.
The fact that there are people trading states the fact that it matters for them.

Then you should learn about reaslistic winrates.. gaining 6 cents out of $11 is already over 0.5% ROI.. which is a decent gain for typing in a few numbers longterm. Jess,you still have $300 T$? I could take them all. (See mober in this example I'd be gaining $1.50 with no risk and 2 minutes of work.. please enlighten me where you gain a hourly rate of $45 (adding time/gain together))

I get what you're saying, but it does all add up. And it's kind of like this: If you see in the lobby you can play a choice of $10 SNGs and one of them has $1 rake and one has 94c rake, which one are you going to play, all else being equal?
FWIW, given standard 10% rake on SNGs/MTTs paying .94 instead of 1 is a 6% discount on rake, so over time, paying 6% less rake than usual does add up. But I do see your point as well - it's certainly a very small gain.. So I guess the way to see it is people are doing me a favour, but it't not like I am the ONLY one gaining from it, as you suggest - since whoever buys it is getting a discount, albeit small.
That said, if people are buying larger amounts, then it's no 6c, it's a couple dollars, which is a little better obviously, for time it takes to click a couple buttons.
