MYGAMESALE.COM: COULD YOU BE MY BRONZE MEDALIST? Plus I’m 110% Sad (1/4)
Back from T & T and back with a review!
Forget any preamble about the trip, which was great, or the comments I received, which were incorrigibly immature. Let’s get down to business.
Let’s check out MyGameSale.com, a site recommended by one of my oldest readers (oldest meaning he/she has been reading my blogsite since its inception).
Here’s the home page: (click for a larger image, kiddies).
Not cluttered, not bare. Just right.
Though I am wary of any copy that claims "instant delivery" and 50% off, which has about as much credibility as a hooker in a convent.
Here’s the usual SEO-strong (read: repetitive) copy with grammar lapses. Ho hum:
We are a world class wow gold store online. We supply cheap wow gold, the cheapest wow gold to our loyal and reliable customers. You may buy cheap gold wow here. There is wow gold of sale; you can buy really cheap wow gold here. We have mass available stock of gold wow on most of the servers, so that we can do a really instant way of gold wow delivery. We know what our buyers need so we offer an instant way of cheap gold wow, the cheapest gold wow delivery.
If you have a hurry using of wow gold, you may come to www.mygamesale.com and buy cheap wow gold. We can deliver your gold wow on the order in a short while. We have been an ebay power seller and paypal confirmed seller of wow gold for years.So it is securest and safest to buy gold wow from us. We are sure that you will get your desired wow gold on order, if you buy gold wow here. Don’t be irresolute! Just place your order to buy wow gold here then your desired wow gold will be in your mail box in wow game. We are hoping to serve you and helping you to have a wonderful wow life! We are ready now, how about you?
Yeah I think I’m ready.
We have served over 10,000 satisfied customers!
If you say so. But doesn’t the upper right portion of your home page say "over 1,000,000 customers"?
*scratches head*
Been around for 4 years? Funny I’ve never heard of you people.
Half an hour, eh? Over 40,000 gold available on a server, eh? I’ve heard those lines so many times I should be jaded and wary by now, but does Extreme Gold Fan ever learn his lesson? Heck no! My optimistic side rears its Pollyana-like head again — surely the bronze medalist I’ve been searching for could be this site!
Face-to-face trade. I can live with that.
110% satisfaction. Why the heck do people say 110% to express some fervent commitment? Why not 101%? Or 102%? Why does it have to be 110% all the time? What makes it THE number? As one blogger bitched, "I remember once the then-chancellor Gordon Brown saying he was 101% behind Tony Blair, to which people reacted ‘What? Only 101?’"
Enough prattle. Let’s go to Live Chat.
Same chick. Ugh. What is up with this model? I’d rather look at food.
This better not be a painful exchange filled with - to use my fave expression - more bull than they have in that annual run in Pamplona.
For this chat, I am Voltron (my favorite cartoon when I was a little kid. I wanted to change my name to Keith and pestered my dad to buy me a lion. A real one. Go figure)
(Note: The chat transcript in text is at the end of this post for the benefit of those who are not seeing the images)
A few questions to ask. Sure. Only like seven. Chortle, chortle.
Canned responses. Nice. But didn’t answer most of my questions.
That was just some random WoW server I picked.
Check the stock for me? What for? Doesn’t it say on their site that there’s 47,523 gold available on the server?
Well, whaddaya know…..
Okay, Nancy, so if "it’s hard to update" your own goddamn site, I suggest you do away with the stock levels — simply because putting it there is MISLEADING.
Must keep my temper. Must be nice. I swore to myself that I will reserve the hissy-fits for situations that merit hissy-fits, and this is not the situation that calls for one.
Besides, Nancy is a nice girl and it’s not her fault their site is "hard to update".
Groan. So sad. So very sad.
I’ll be back.

Please wait for a site operator to respond.

Ei, EGF. Your lil bronze model is getting older. I think he needs a spa treatment.
And as for mygamesale’s live chat model, I’m just wondering who the heck is that poor Mamah? I thought it was our beloved Gov. Sarah Palin’s pic. I hope she’s getting paid for her wonderful smile.
:3

hmmm I think I’ve seen the same chat model with other sites that you’ve reviewed, EGF, wasn’t she yvonne? that if my memory serves me right. So how was the Caribbean trip by the way.

Carribean trip was awesome, to say the least, mini me. Thanks for asking.
That chat model has been around the block one too many times…just like the tramp who used me back in high school.
Peace!

Ho hum!
I bet it will take more than a day for them to deliver the gold.
And treat that monkey to a banana split or something. He looks kinda stressed and irate. Give him a break.
XD

i just got hacked by them… their gold is good but their power leveling is BS!
i got 1/2 my order and they took the gold on that toon
they said it was not safe to finish so i said ok i tried to get my gold back the other day and i couldent.. but then today i log on but i cant because my password is changed… and i change back my pw and gold on every character was gone and a lot of my gear was deleted and my items were all gone…
i do not recommend them
