Is Gold Standard the biggest ripoff of recent times?

I think the other guy is just mad about something and all randoms are recorded and uploaded to youtube simultaneously during the break so they can be seen there...This guy is a bit out to lunch

Mad about what? I was just stating this guy doesn't "go out of his way", as someone else stated, so there is no need to treat him like a charity worker who operates a non profit. He does it to generate profit.

I am a bit out to lunch? You are naive to not even realize why these guy do group breaks. Next thing you are going to tell me is that truth17 spends 30+ hours a week on blogtv doing group breaks just as a good gesture and makes nothing. Funny.

Everyone - please don't buy GS single cards. I like this product and this will aid in keeping the prices down. Sincerely, FM

Naive? Not in the least. Let me know when you buy all the supplies to run some successful and smooth group breaks and take the time to package and ship everything quick and properly...then I may add a couple bucks to a slot price as well. Who in their right mind would put 30hrs a week on blog to break even? These guys do all the work so I have no problem with a buck or two added to a slot price. And even if they didn't pay the retail cost for their cases, who cares? Can you get them cheaper from a distributor? I know I can't, along with 95% of the other people in this hobby.

The point was....we don't have to kiss his ass "for going out of his way" because he is doing this for profit. Is there anything wrong with that? No, but that doesn't mean we have to over appreciate him for us helping him make money. If people want to complain about a shitty product, they can. If anything, he should appreciate the people who are in the break.

Listen clown, not sure who you are or what you are trying to pull on these boards but you are doing nothing but sowing discontent in all of your posts. Go troll around somewhere else with this petty children's nonsense.

There is an old saying where I come from, "If you don't have anything nice to say then STFU!" If you're against group breaks then don't participate, it's that simple. I agree with the guy above in that you're just trolling...for some reason I see you're new so at the end of a group break, you say "thanks" to the host because it's the polite thing to do, and he says "no problem, thanks to everyone who joined"...not sure how you developed this into an over appreciation for someone's services. You don't get angry about about movie theaters making money from tickets for a seat, do you?
