Questions & Comments

Microsoft allows 5 activations of the same product key in tell you have to call them to manually activate. This should work perfect.

Hrmmm okay now that's interesting. I didn't know you had to call them to activate? I said that I installed it once but I meant on the same computer. I've reformatted the computer and reinstalled on the same computer so does that count toward the 5?
Either way, I could share my info needed to activate over the phone if necessary. It'd be good to have for future installs anyway. (I don't even know what info they'd even have from me. I don't recall ever registering my name and address and stuff.)

sweet

Yes that does count toward if you reinstall. But if you run out of activations you will then have to call them and they will ask why your calling and the key. Unless it was registered they might just ask for the name of the previous person.

Thanks for the info. Either way I'll work with the winner and make sure they have all the necessary information. If there were any major issues I'll make sure it's completely resolved at no expense to the winner.

very nice

Feb 7th, 2010 at 10:13:15 AM PST by

I love it when people comment saying "very nice" only because I read it out loud with Borat's accent and add the "...I like"

Feb 8th, 2010 at 7:27:04 PM PST by

Tip: Most of the time when people write 1 or 2 word comments there just trying to boost there xp points. I think it's rude but a lot of people do it.

Actually the ones who do it for XP are only hurting themselves. There is nothing positive about having high xp right now. The only benefit to XP is to keep it below level 16. It's a counterproductive system right now but I'm sure it'll get tweaked and fixed sooner or later.
The reason people comment like that is for the chance at the bonus credits. I don't mind anymore. I like it when others get free credits. Gives them more credits to bid on my stuff with ;)

Feb 9th, 2010 at 11:04:13 AM PST by

what is the benefit to keeping XP below level 16?

Feb 9th, 2010 at 3:49:21 PM PST by

There are specific rewards auctions that only people under level 16 can bid on. They typically go for less than the ones for over lvl 15.

Feb 10th, 2010 at 9:05:58 PM PST by

Could you extend the auctions a few more days. So I could get a few more credits :)

Feb 11th, 2010 at 3:26:46 PM PST by

Oh I wish I could but I can't. List some stuff anyway just in case another gets listed sooner or later.

Feb 11th, 2010 at 5:09:56 PM PST by

would bid on this if a i had the credits...

Feb 11th, 2010 at 3:44:44 PM PST by

That's cool. Should list some stuff so you can be ready for the next thing you see that you'll want. Be careful though. Listia gets addicting

Feb 11th, 2010 at 5:10:56 PM PST by

thekooldude215 - you can't change the auction once there is a bid, that would be unfair to others.

Feb 12th, 2010 at 10:25:58 AM PST by

"There are specific rewards auctions that only people under level 16 can bid on. They typically go for less than the ones for over lvl 15." Where can I read more about this - this is new info to me. Thx :)

Feb 12th, 2010 at 1:49:34 PM PST by

There aren't any right now. This was the last one available but I only have the link to the level 16-99 item http://www.listia.com/auction/50988
There is also one that was only for 1-15. Previously there was
http://www.listia.com/auction/24046 (1-15) went for 1551
http://www.listia.com/auction/24049 (16-99) went for 8701
So that's why it's beneficial to list high value items before you hit lvl 16 and bid on the nice reward auctions.

Feb 12th, 2010 at 1:58:51 PM PST by

Oops...wish I'd known - I'm already at level 20. Thanks, for the info.

Feb 12th, 2010 at 2:00:51 PM PST by
