I really wish they would get rid of that 1 per customer. I understand why they do it don't get me wrong, but it still sucks.

Tiktektak go fuck yourself. You've been an ass to me before and it's not going to happen again. I'm extremely tired of you treating people the way you do. I don't give a fuck who you are I've seen it happen multiple times and so have others and it shouldn't be put up with.

No it's not like that. I'd say at most 2 per address. My fiancé may want a copy, or I may want to give one as a gift to someone who doesn't order stuff off the internet. (You can't say it doesn't happen because I know plenty of people that does not) and I cannot get more that 1 copy per system sent to a single address. Or all in all to trade for the LRG's I don't have. If it wasn't for me able to get 2 copies of Soldner-X2 I wouldn't have got Saturday Morning RPG. How about you ask RealPlumpBox if he feels I fucked him over on our trade and then get back to me about hording multiple copies for whatever purpose other than to collect or be a decent human being.

Think of it this way, limited run games sell out in an average of 4 minutes with the exception of a few games. I missed the Vita version of this mornings games while I was checking out. It gave me the lack of inventory message. I have missed several Limited Run Games because I was just a few minutes late. They do give the option to buy 2 copies every now and then but it always robs someone of being able to own the game. If you give people the option to buy 2 copies of a run of 3000, they'll sell out in 2 minutes instead of 4 and 1500 people won't get a copy of the game so you and your girlfriend can have 2 copies.

This is the first I've heard of these guys. Sounds like they are copying LRG's business strategy?

I understand what you are saying, but I don't think you are grasping the fact that I would be trying to get into other games hands at practically the same cost that I got it for. Sure I understand not everyone would do that hence why you see them getting sold for 3-4x their original sale value within minutes. I don't condone that, but yet it also goes for any other game. Why should anyone be shunned because they found a legal way to make money? If you had a legit copy of Little Samson or Earthbound or EVO, and you wanted to get rid of it, are you going to sell it for what you payed for it? Most likely not. I wouldn't.
I'm in the same boat as you when it comes to Breach and Clear, Odd World, or Octodad. So I honestly don't see what the argument is if that's what I'm trying to obtain closer to the actual value as what they were released for.
