    Dude, to come onto the DP boards - run by the authors/publishers of this book - and in your first post here to ask for the book for free or for cheap, is pretty tacky, my friend. Pony up the buckage and support this site in the process.

    To be fair here he did offer to pay, and the Classic guide has been sold out for quite some time.

    Is the classic guide still in fact for sale here or has it been sold out for a while as I've heard a few times now? There doesn't appear to be a link to buy the guide at the plug site that was linked above.

    It doesn't seem to be available on Amazon.com anymore either unless you want the one being sold used for $59.00

    Seems kind of harsh to slam the guy and tell him to "pony up" and support the site if the site isn't selling it any more.

    They aren't available online anymore, however telling him to pony up beyond begging for a free copy is hardly what I would call harsh.

    Well, he did. Maybe everyone should reread that post instead of just jumping on the dogpile. I haven't seen such a mob mentality in a long time. He basically said he wanted to buy a used copy from someone, and if someone happened to have one for free he would take it. The only problem I could possibly see is that he posted it in the wrong section... and that some of you need to chill out.

    I think the capslock is really what's off-putting. And apparently not hanging around the forum for a bit before making a first post to understand what proper behavior consists of.

    OK GANG YOUR RITE I SHOULD NOT HAVE BEN SO HARSH ANYWAYZ A NEW DP GUIDE THATZ UPDATED WILL BE OUT IN AUGUST SO THEIR WILL BE GUIDES AVAILABLE FOR EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    <ahem>

    Snarky asshattedness aside, he did offer to pay, but not at full price. Or free was even better. As a first post, it's like going on the Sony forums and asking where you can download a torrent of Spider-Man 3. Just not a good way to endear yourself right out of the starting gate.

    To be honest, Sothy's right - the earlier DP Guides are collector's items in their own right (for some damn reason) and sell for much more than the cover price. (Who would've guessed?) My best advice is to wait until August when the newly updated classic guide is released, and - in the meantime - save up the pocket change so you can pony up the $25 for the book.

    I don't see him make mention of not being able to purchase the book on the site. Frankly he just seems like a spammer to me.

    $59 on Amazon? Is this common knowledge or did you actually go to the trouble to research this? In defense of a one-post likely spammer? Have you ground the axe to dust yet? Why don't you tell us what your problem is once and for all?

    That and the fact if he were to get a "free" book, you'd probably never see him on the forums again. Unless it were in Buy/Sell to sell some of the stuff he picks up from garage sales. Basically, he's using the book to make money off of his garage sale wares, I'd say.

    The only way to top a first post asking for the DP Guides for free would be to come on here with your very first post and asking if people have any duplicate NES games ("BOXEDDD ARE BEST!!!!!!") that they can send for free.

    Follow the link in my original post and see.

    Tell you my problem? For the most part whenever I've entered a debate here I've always thought that I'd made my feelings clear. Besides, I don't think that this is the time or the thread to go into details about it again.

    That or asking for ROMZ and other warez.

    A name like garagesaleking makes me think that he knew all along the high asking price of the guide on Amazon. He then shows his contempt of the DP membership by trying to dupe us into selling to him at a discount so he could turn it around and sell it on E-bay (or a garage sale - duh) for a nice profit.

    If he wasn't trying to scam us then he was insanely naive or hopelessly optimistic. How could anyone expect a discount price for the asking on their very first post?

    Either way I'm not wasting any tears on the dogpiling he got.
