So my boss got a "great deal" on a bunch of 360 games from China. Being none too familiar with the 360 games, I could tell the covers were "fuzzy" and the inner ring of the disc wasn't all sparkly, just flat white with plain text. He's having difficulty believing me they're burnt copies, but is scared enough that they won't go on eBay now as was intended. We got them at 4 bucks a piece, and I would say we could hit the flea markets and dispose of them at that amongst the myriad other pirate goods to keep something in his pocket, but he wants to do Craigslist. What wold be your preferred method of dumping the knockoffs? (Note: If it was me personally I'd keep them for personal use or throw them away, but my boss is a regular scrooge with a poor sense of piracy)

Worship me.

Give it away , take the loss as a lesson. ( or give it to friends and families that know its fake )

If you are caught selling them ( even if its reselling ) you'll be held accountable...

If something from china looks like counterfeits , it IS counterfeits.

No lunahound. You are the counterfeits.

As to disposal methods, I wouldn't bring them anywhere near a reputable environment. Markets or giving them away sounds like you best bet.

Did you just call someone "the counterfeits"? Can you speak English?


As for the OP, give them away for free, if someone reimburses you for shipping no one can say they bought them from you.....so what did you get anyways?

3 or 4 each of things like Bionic Commando, Halo Wars, etc. Probably 30 or so total. I'd like to reiterate my boss is the moron here.

Just for reference:
John Stalvern waited. The lights above him blinked and sparked out of the air. There were demons in the base. He didn't see them, but had expected them now for years. His warnings to Cernel Joson were not listenend to and now it was too late. Far too late for now, anyway. John was a space marine for fourteen years. When he was young he watched the spaceships and he said to dad "I want to be on the ships daddy."
Dad said "No! You will BE KILL BY DEMONS"
There was a time when he believed him. Then as he got oldered he stopped. But now in the space station base of the UAC he knew there were demons.
"This is Joson" the radio crackered. "You must fight the demons!"
So John gotted his palsma rifle and blew up the wall.
"HE GOING TO KILL US" said the demons
"I will shoot at him" said the cyberdemon and he fired the rocket missiles. John plasmaed at him and tried to blew him up. But then the ceiling fell and they were trapped and not able to kill.
"No! I must kill the demons" he shouted
The radio said "No, John. You are the demons"
And then John was a zombie.

People are like dice, a certain Frenchman said that. You throw yourself in the direction of your own choosing. People are free because they can do that. Everyone's circumstances are different, but no matter how small the choice, at the very least, you can throw yourself. It's not chance or fate. It's the choice you made.

And here's where it went from "Could have been good" to "WTF is your grammar?"

The idea is that it takes extra effort and time to write properly, and they’d rather save the time. If you can still be understood, what’s the harm? While most of the time a sloppy post CAN be understood, the use of proper grammar, punctuation, and spelling is generally seen as respectable and desirable on most forums. It demonstrates an effort made to be understood, and to make your post an easy and pleasant read. By making this effort, you can often elicit more positive responses from the community, and instantly mark yourself as someone worth talking to.
