The only other thing that's totally awesome in my room, that wasn't from the ftp store is this.
A foam sword. Great for instantaneous outbreaks of sword fights, not the gay kind, and hitting unarmed people for when I run bad.

Don't really have much poker related shit to talk about because of this,

super mario 64 sooo good. I'm pumped for super mario wii

fifa and nhl are the nutz

did you do a calculation to see how much $ in rakeback these items cost you vs their store price btw? I'm interested to know.. might as well buy from FTP store if you're getting a discount.

$1.35 for ever 1k points spent

all 3 items are 922.05.

hmmm I will do some division now!

whaaaat

So you're saying the 85000 point Ipod touch 64gb which costs $379 on amazon.com only costs $114 in the FTP store? Seems unlikely....?

Why should it? If it affected your rakeback that much, the store would be useless.

Store has always worked that way. It's like buying things with a heavy discount.

sounds about right night, its always been roughly one third of the item value lost in rakeback. it would be absolutely retarded if you were paying the full price of the item from your rakeback wouldnt it? cause then wtf would be the point in full tilt points when you can just cash out rakeback and buy the items. the ftp points themselves have to have some value, and that value is getting to buy stuff at 2/3rds off

edit: i post slow obv

why can't I just make money buying stuff on FTP store and then selling it on ebay then? or is nothing stopping me

mario 64 is the fucking nuts

you can, but there are some issues. most of the shit takes 1 month, so you will have a 1 month delay between delivery and purchase. plus, you're lucky if you can sell them for $3.5:1k points, leaving you a profit margin of 3.5-1.35 = $2.15 per 1k points. just not worth the trouble imo.

oh interesting

but just doing it as like a one-off thing every couple of months I mean, could get like an extra hundred bucks or w/e. Guess it isn't really worth it for a poker player but maybe as something on the side akin to a hobby.

thanks ^^

well yea, if you have completely no desire for anything in the store, id say its a good side thing.

The only reason I got a wii was so I could play mario 64 and all the old zeldas =)

And yeah, my house pimpest things are poker purchases with FPP's - TV, Monitor, DVD player. Poker pwnz
