Is Marcus exploiting his fans?

I read this on the Digital Spy forum and it went for interesting reading.

He is obviously making money from this, lots of it but is it exploitation? The fact that he has made over a thousand pounds off complete tat does show exploitation especially after he decided to put foul mouthed letters on Ebay as well which are also making money.

I know some would say if people are willing to pay the money, they should pay it but if someone is willing to exploit people, should they exploit them?

If there is a demand for that kind of thing, why shouldnt he meet it?

They want to pay daft money for pieces of paper, let them. Apparently he has even been asked by some to put them up.

Thats kind of like saying people who make and sell anything are exploiting their customers.

But if I buy a TV, I can get a multitude of things from it. I can watch DVDs, Satellite, Cable, play games on it or watch conventional TV.

The basis of the exploitation is selling something above cost because people have got nothing better to do than to admire a loser from TV - now this is the exploitation. He knows he's nothing special but people place ridiculous emphasis on him that has no relevance to use.

What do you do with that key or paper? Show it to friends or basically what?

It has no real monetary value in years to come. The key can be fashioned at home and the abusive letter... bloody hell. But he knows it's worth crap and it will be wasted on a subscription to Television X.

It`s a case of supply and demand, people obviously want to own these things including the abusive letters.

Personally, I have no sympathy for anyone who's willing to pay that kinda money for a piece of worthless junk; it's hardly a good investment is it? It can be argued that

Marcus is exploiting the public to a certain extent but in a capitalistic society isn't that something to be pursued? I don't see anything different to what he's doing than many

companies or persons do when they want to reap the maximum returns possible on any event or product, the product this time being Marcus who'll inevitably have a short

life span in the public realm anyway and he might as well get some extra cash while he's around.

One thing though: did he earn anything off Big Brother for the three months he spent in that house and while there's people out there who'll pay, shouldn't he be allowed to

make a little while he can? I mean if you're willing to point a finger at him and his code of ethics I think there's bigger fish to fry in today's society. I think we should cut him some slack here.

I think they get 30 quid a day and he was in there for like 90 days so he probably got 2700 quid when he left the house.


If you think about it... it's not that bad is it. You get board, food - it's fairly boring but 2700 quid for 90 days

Well 210 pound a week and bills and such are paid for...

Not bad I suppose for lying around scratching your arse half the time. Still though, this kinda exploitation happens all the time in our society and on a far bigger scale so it wouldn't be fair to target Marcus, even if you do have a problem with the fundamental concept and motivation behind it all.

Exploitation? If you use the definition of the word: to use something for profit, then EVERY person on big brother is guilty of it. They have all used Big Brother for their profit. However, does that make them bad people? No. If no one wanted to watch Big Brother, they wouldn't benefit. If no one was willing to buy memorabilia, then it wouldn't matter what Marcus sold as no one would buy it. He is offering what people want. He is no more exploitive (in the negative sense you implied) than Sainsbury or Wilkos or whatever. Supply and demand.

marcus akin put's somthing on ebay for 99 *******ing pence! marcus does not know what its worth or how much it is going to fetch does he? he might have made sod all for all he knew? at the end of the day it's up to the person who wants it the most, no one is saying you have to bid on it are they? so how the ******* is it exploiting anyone? they know what they are getting if they want to pay that for somthing then that up to them.

I and every *******er on this forum would do the same! If i could get a £1,000 for a toy key or a pice of paper then i and anyone else would do the same any ******* that say's otherwise is talking through they'er arse! OP you fail exploitation FFS you need to look the definition up for Exploiting PMSL i cant belive i read the OP's post what a load of boll*cks! it is so sad it's *******ing laughable ROFL, we know you hate marcus, but come on FFS you are just being a dick head now

You see... it becomes exploitation when you are taking someone's hard earned cash for something that it isn't even worth.

And when you say everybody in this forum would do the same, you are wrong. I wouldn't... oh sorry, you said every ****er would do the same... well maybe every ****er would but I'm not a ****er.

Speak for yourself.

Also, you start at the lowest price going to get the biggest return, since ebay fees go by the selling rate. It was advertised via Marcus fans which he exploits since they're fairly sad and pathetic admiring him. I think he knows that. He's a sad loser with no money and he needs to take advantage of people who only like him because they disliked Sree for liking Noirin and Lisa for being friends with Noirin and it was his pathetic obsessive self since he can't get a shag, that got him all loser like with Noirin.

So they are admiring somebody because he can't get a woman.

please look up the definition exploiting :rolleyes:

You seem to ignore what is being said.

Others, film makers, artists, actors - actually give something worth the product. You get the film and you pay for about 1000 people who made the film? Yes - do you comprehend that or do you just like to make innacurate sweeping statements?

Marcus, yes - is selling a pile of junk, something that is worth about a pound... for over 1000 pounds. People are buying it because they think Marcus is special and like some cult guru. They have applied a glittering, fake, glamorous persona on him.

You, laughably, compare him to David Beckham who is one of the greatest footballers to have ever adorned this planet. David Beckham (as you so ridiculously state "there you go") entertains billions around the world. Regularly... he is a market driven brand.

Marcus... is selling one object to one person only. Only one person can gain this product. Yes? Do you understand?

The exploitation is - it is worth nothing. It isn't worth the entertainment value that David Beckham or Film makers give. Is that understandable... yes?

Let me paint a better picture. Like exploiting child labour. Basically, a child in slave labour makes about 20 quid a month for something sold for far more? OK? Marcus is doing the same... he is exploiting something that is fashioned from Lisa, Sree - because he fancied Noirin... people admire him because they hate somebody else.

He swears... wow... but that's not the reason. It is a amplified view of somebody he is not. He lost at arm wrestling against Tom. He is not strong - he got beaten at that as well... He is not what he seems. The basis is if you have a brain, if you can understand this - he is not what he seems. It is a fabrication that you have to be "exploited" operative word, exploited - to buy into the illusion - you have to be delusional to buy into it.

You just shout, scream, post badly written posts with bad spelling and talk about exploitation like you really have a hold on to it.

Do you know actual artists give away stuff to fans all the time. They send letters to fans all the time. Do you know how much they do it for? They do it for free.

Do you understand the exploitation now?

Here is the definition, personally, for you.

verb

1. To put into action or use: actuate, apply, employ, exercise, implement, practice, use, utilize. Idioms: avail oneself of, bring into play, bring to bear, make use of, put into practice, put to use. See used/unused.
2. To take advantage of unfairly: abuse, impose, presume, use. See treat well/treat badly/treat.
3. To control to one's own advantage by artful or indirect means: maneuver, manipulate, play. See control/uncontrol, straight/bent.


He is manipulateing. He is abusing the position that somebody else has given to him. Do you understand that? Is that comprehensible to you?

I doubt it. You're so far up his arse... I doubt there is any possibility you can tell right from wrong.

The only people who have given him the position are the BB producers.

Most BB housemates do the same thing, angel sold her eviction outfit, and lots of others have sold pretty worthless stuff for more than it is worth. Why only say marcus is exploiting the public?

If people are prepared to pay it, people will sell.

Im sure if I could sell a piece of paper for 50 quid, I'd be doing it too.

While people will pay it, it will happen. Hes exploiting noone. His fans want it. They even asked him to do it.

The only people who have given him the position are the BB producers.

Most BB housemates do the same thing, angel sold her eviction outfit, and lots of others have sold pretty worthless stuff for more than it is worth. Why only say marcus is exploiting the public?

I would never ever, sell a piece of paper for 50 pounds to somebody who has a vested interest in me. It think it's despicable, opportunist and ultimately - expoitive as well.

So let me get this right, you guys are saying that people who are interested in you, you'll exploit, without thinking about it and just let them part their hard earned cash because they have this bizarre fascination with you that has no logical or rational merit.

Well good for you man.

What I grasp here is, it's like some us and them mentality for some. Just because they fancy and admire a housemate, they think others are haters.

We all watch the show - in this case some of us are shocked and laughing at the behaviour of not only housemates but fans of housemates.

We are the objective sideliners - whether you like it or not.

He isnt charging the price in either of his sales, that is being driven by people who want the items he is selling as memorabilia. People often pay silly money for complete tat. Look at what one person calls art another will call rubbish, Tracey Emin and Damien Hirsts work springs to mind. Autographed photographs etc sell for, in some peoples opinions, silly money.

Is it right celebrities have charged money for exclusive picture rights to their weddings etc?

You are assuming that Marcus is looking to make profit out of the items, what is he going to use the money realised in the sales for? Do you know?

Obviously you are entitled to your opinion of Marcus putting these items up for sale, would your opinion be the same should Sophie, if she gets another breast augmentation surgery, put her inserts up for sale on ebay? Or is this post simply about your need to criticise Marcus and his fans?

@ massive truck i can be arsed to read all through what you typed i just give you what i think about from the 1st few lines i read.

Marcus spent 13 weeks on a TV show for how much money did you say? £30 per day? 90 days x 24 hours = 2160 hours worth of work. £30 per day x 90 days = £2700 work that out per hour?? that's £1.25p per hour whos exploiting who here? BB make millions off the likes of marcus who was up for eviction 7-8 times BB pay marcus £1.25p per hour cut the man a bit of slack if he wants to sell some stuff on ebay and make a few k then why shouldent he? even if its cr*p and worth £1 if someone wants to give marcus £1000 for it then whats the problem? you dont want it you dont have to bid on it i dont get where your coming from its not exploiting anyone he as not said the key is made of gold he said its a BB jail key prop and start bids at 99p because its not worth £1,000 to you does not mean its not worth a £1,000 to some fan of marcus, are you saying marcus should not have any fans? it up to them what they want to spend it on not you.

and as for music cd's and the band/ singer deserves the money? yes they do even though the CD costs a few pence to make yet the mark it up 10,000% to what it costs to make is that exploiting people as well?

marcus spent 13 weeks in a house entertaining people for £1.25p per hour where his boss made millions off his and his HM's back's good luck to him i hope he makes as much as he can if his fans are happy paying for it then thats up to them they know its rubbish! marcus as said what it is how is it exploiting people?

I don't know about exploitation, because it's up to the suckers if they wanna buy his trash.

One thing I do know is that he should be looked into for selling a Channel 4 prop. That to me is theft, unless BB give him the key which I find highly unlikely.

He probably stole it before he was evicted. The thief.

If there is a demand for that kind of thing, why shouldnt he meet it?

They want to pay daft money for pieces of paper, let them. Apparently he has even been asked by some to put them up.

Thats kind of like saying people who make and sell anything are exploiting their customers.

But if I buy a TV, I can get a multitude of things from it. I can watch DVDs, Satellite, Cable, play games on it or watch conventional TV.

The basis of the exploitation is selling something above cost because people have got nothing better to do than to admire a loser from TV - now this is the exploitation. He knows he's nothing special but people place ridiculous emphasis on him that has no relevance to use.

What do you do with that key or paper? Show it to friends or basically what?

It has no real monetary value in years to come. The key can be fashioned at home and the abusive letter... bloody hell. But he knows it's worth cr*p and it will be wasted on a subscription to Television X.

Seems likely he is selling it now whilst his name is still in the public eye - as he realizes it is unlikely to be for very long! A couple of months down the line - probably won't be many interested in buying!

I am sure by now BB is aware of its sale, you could however to be sure, email them and let them know or indeed ask them to confirm your assertion he is a thief.

If they were that concerned about it they could have the item removed from ebay, inform the police about its theft, ask Marcus to donate any profit from it to a charity or simply ask for the item to be returned.

I was delighted when he replied to me on his facebook, it made my day.

If I had the money I would outbid people for that key although I'm not sure about the note, but each to their own.

He isn't exploiting his fans at all. He is providing something that they want.

If he made people pay before they could follow him on twitter, then that would be exploiting.

I know he struggles with girls at how easily he falls over for them and becomes anamoured after getting a hug from one and his never ending, infinite amount of crude comments relating to female genitalia and women in general. He had a girl almost half his age (Sophie) have to tell him to pipe it down and grow up. Oddly - this is lost on some... Now... why would I be jealous of a man that behaves like that?

Does he live with his mother? Yes. Case closed. Now... why would I be jealous of a man that behaves like that?

Of course he is exploiting his fans. Of course they want to buy the stuff because it's marcus' but he is exploiting them by selling rubbish at way over the costs on the basis that they are obsessed with the fact he uses the word "****" and "****" a lot and behaves like a juvenile - basically they are obsessed with him because out of pride it would be damaging to their brain if they had to admit that Noirin was the cause of all the problems and not Sree and Lisa and they had to admire Marcus because not admiring would mean they were wrong abotu Sree and Lisa. All that ego and all that pride from an obsessive TV viewer? Now... why would I be jealous of a man that behaves like that?

Erm... that's all. Your final paragraph is based upon a delusion that I have to be jealous of your subjective view of Marcus Fan Land where he is some kind of a God. If swearing and juvenile behaviour is your forte - try town centres on Saturday nights...

Your brain will explode dude and you will have 100 more messiahs to go with Marcus. Rock On!

Unemployed? What ARE you on about. He may have quit his job to go on BB, but he was employed prior to that. And not only was he employed, but he also had a second job making figurines for a toy company.

In the first, the person hasn't left home and is a slacker who wants to live off of their parents forever.

All this "No... his mother lives with him" Doesn't change the fact that he lives with his mother. That's about the long and short of it.

If you really think... that a guy who is unemployed, desperate to lay off things and has been unemployed for a long time has his "mother living with him"... seriously, you're far less objective and perceptive than I give fanaticism credit for.

Unemployed? What ARE you on about. He may have quit his job to go on BB, but he was employed prior to that. And not only was he employed, but he also had a second job making figurines for a toy company.

And regarding the mother thing? There is a HUGE difference between him living with his mother and his mother living with him. In the first, the person hasn't left home and is a slacker who wants to live off of their parents forever. In the second, a person has gone out and made a life for themselves including buying a home and generously lets their parent live with them in order to assist the parent as they get older. If you don't see the difference, I pity you. But I think you do see the difference but refuse to admit it.

And I am not a fanatic. I didn't even start out as a Marcus fan. However, I don't like to see people twist the truth for their own purposes. And if you want to see what a fanatic looks like, you should look in the mirror. I am a bit shocked by how sad you have become. Maybe you were like this all along and I just didn't notice.

Nope... he had a job since January and then he quit that job.

He does not have a job making figurines for a toy company *sigh*. He makes them and oh forget it....

Do you know that house he lives in? Is Mother there? Yes...

Now, join the dots. Does he have a wife, girlfriend or anything else of that nature? No... but does he run around treating women like dirt which we saw for 13 weeks in the house? yes.

So... Loser.

These are the facts but for some reason people want to subvert the reality to make his loserdom appear like some messianic brilliance. Complete and utter nonsense.

You run around this forum treating people like crap... does that make you a loser too?

Sorry, but you are wrong. Marcus does NOT live with his mother. Marcus's mother lives with him. HE owns the house not her. But he is nice enough to help her out by allowing her to live with him.

You just find it hard to accept an opinion that is different from yours. That's no reasoning to state - people who don't like who you adore and devote yourself to are treating people like crap. Hardly, not even remotely - in fact,

not at all.

Just try and accept the fact it's a TV show and not everybody falls madly in love with the contestants on there.

If there is a demand for that kind of thing, why shouldnt he meet it?

They want to pay daft money for pieces of paper, let them. Apparently he has even been asked by some to put them up.

Thats kind of like saying people who make and sell anything are exploiting their customers.

But if I buy a TV, I can get a multitude of things from it. I can watch DVDs, Satellite, Cable, play games on it or watch conventional TV.

The basis of the exploitation is selling something above cost because people have got nothing better to do than to admire a loser from TV - now this is the exploitation. He knows he's nothing special but people place ridiculous emphasis on him that has no relevance to use.

What do you do with that key or paper? Show it to friends or basically what?

It has no real monetary value in years to come. The key can be fashioned at home and the abusive letter... bloody hell. But he knows it's worth cr*p and it will be wasted on a subscription to Television X.

No, explotation is half starved people in 3rd world countries having to work for 15p aweek because we want cheap primark clothes and nke footballs. What Marcus is doing is supplying demand, fools are easilyparted with their money!

Massive, are you suggesting he should throw his mother onto the streets just to prove how "grown up" he is? In most cultures it is the norm for parents to live with their offspring, its called reciprocal responsibility, and is not something to ridicule. Marcus is actually doing the "grown up" thing rather than the selfish path he could take if he offloaded his mum. Perhaps if more of us looked after our own in this country, instead of shoving them into nursing homes, we could actually call ourselves a civilised society.

I admire Marcus for his commitment and loyalty to his mother, and I guarantee that most women would love to be with a man like that rather than with somebody who has no respect or concern for his own flesh and blood.

i think you need to breathe or something. Your view of expolitation and mine are very different and if you consider fans buying memorbilia exploitation then every pop star,actor,actress,writer etc., by default is therefore guilty of the same offence.

Come on...

Wow you really have your knickers in a twist don't you Massive.

His mother admitted she lives in his house, whether its his own house or a council house he has a tenancy agreement for, it doesnt alter the fact she lives with him. She has her own place on the South Coast somewhere, for all you know his father may have left may have left them both financially secure should he be deceased.

Now talking of spin, it's you doing the spinning twisting it round to make it out that he is some sort of parasite in her life.

How do you know he has been unemployed for a large part of his life? Can you prove this allegation? Or the allegation he made multiple false accounts to push up the cost of the item auctioned?

Nah didn't think so, you have to be careful what you say about people, your mouth will one day get you into a lot of trouble. I would recommend you stop gobbing off about things you know nothing about.

Let's face it regardless of what you say, you really have been bit by the green eyed monster and whatever he does will always be wrong in your eyes.

You're just showing you have a problem with authority.

Everyday people can be exploitive of others and this is exploiting people.

Do you know what the second highest bidder said on DS about buying the item? You know what?

She bid on the item because Marcus was normal because he burped and picked his nose.

Jesus Effing Christ!!!! We all bloody pick our nose and burp.

Now this is her justification for paying over a thousand pounds for crap - oh sorry, it's not crap. It's actually pre-owned by the IDH (for about a week) and therefore... it's special.

Somebody should remind these fans that it was never really owned by Marcus. He got it and immediately put it on Ebay to sell with a piece of paper and that's so fantastic.

How sad and pathetic.

And we've already covered the area of memorabilia and Brand names on the thread already. The fact is, they are actually worth something. When you buy something, in the current economy, if it is branded, it's value is higher and therefore the exploitation is a lot less, almost non-existent. You talk about kids who work being exploited - jesus christ man. How utterly lacking knowledge that is.

This is work for them. This is how they feed themselves. Their money is worth a great deal over there. Here's a clue - what if Nike offered minimum wage in their countries... I mean our equivalent? then what? Do you really think that will work in their country?

Now... everything you buy, based upon your lack of knowledge on the economy is exploited. You miss putting any value, economic value on an item. Is it worth something in the future. What is it worth?

Your views are nothing more than from the Daily Mail who just love to shock, antagonise and frustrate people with little knowledge on how markets and economies operate.

Now... That crap Marcus is selling. Who is he? He stood in a bloody tube station for ages and hundreds walked past without giving a crap. He forced one women over who hugged him and because he sneaked a kiss on her cheek, he couldn't stop smiling.


Lo and behold minions - your pathetic messiah.

Then some woman pops up who couldn't really navigate around a tube station wants a photograph of them on her phone without them.

That's it. This is the guy who is selling a wooden/metal (probably that cheap metal they buy as remnants for these thigns) key type thing for 1200 pounds because he created an illusory bid around the item and a small minority of utter morons are left to led like flies to crap for this.

That is exploiting people because they admire somebody who is nobody to such a pathetic level that they would pay this much and what makes it exploiting? Well because he knows he's making a fool of people. He's going to sell bloody letters on Ebay as well...

What a joke...

Seriously.

He lives with his mother. Regardless of the spin we've seen, he lives with her. How in the world did he afford a house in London while being unemployed for the large part of his life and barely being able to wipe his backside at 35 years of age?

Come on...

Wow you really have your knickers in a twist don't you Massive.

His mother admitted she lives in his house, whether its his own house or a council house he has a tenancy agreement for, it doesnt alter the fact she lives with him. She has her own place on the South Coast somewhere, for all you know his father may have left may have left them both financially secure should he be deceased.

Now talking of spin, it's you doing the spinning twisting it round to make it out that he is some sort of parasite in her life.

How do you know he has been unemployed for a large part of his life? Can you prove this allegation? Or the allegation he made multiple false accounts to push up the cost of the item auctioned?

Nah didn't think so, you have to be careful what you say about people, your mouth will one day get you into a lot of trouble. I would recommend you stop gobbing off about things you know nothing about.

Let's face it regardless of what you say, you really have been bit by the green eyed monster and whatever he does will always be wrong in your eyes.

Oh pipe down Minion.

I'm commenting on the show and the most ridiculous effect of the show that is idolising somebody who lives with their mum while he exploits fools.

To me, it's laughable and also and dramatic in that people are fooled like this.

So, since I watched the show, why are you shocked I am mocking people and Marcus for behaving like this? Your idea of jealousy only exists because you think he is something special.

Our views of stupidity and moronic behaviour only exists because you like him.

If there is a demand for that kind of thing, why shouldnt he meet it?

They want to pay daft money for pieces of paper, let them. Apparently he has even been asked by some to put them up.

Thats kind of like saying people who make and sell anything are exploiting their customers.

But if I buy a TV, I can get a multitude of things from it. I can watch DVDs, Satellite, Cable, play games on it or watch conventional TV.

The basis of the exploitation is selling something above cost because people have got nothing better to do than to admire a loser from TV - now this is the exploitation. He knows he's nothing special but people place ridiculous emphasis on him that has no relevance to use.

What do you do with that key or paper? Show it to friends or basically what?

It has no real monetary value in years to come. The key can be fashioned at home and the abusive letter... bloody hell. But he knows it's worth cr*p and it will be wasted on a subscription to Television X.

No, explotation is half starved people in 3rd world countries having to work for 15p aweek because we want cheap primark clothes and nke footballs. What Marcus is doing is supplying demand, fools are easilyparted with their money!

Oh right, so the rest of the world are just as innocent and we're all going to heaven in a pea green boat now that only a handful of people based upon Daily Mail articles about clothes manufacturers are going to hell.

Thanks.

Exploitation is in many different forms. Especially Marcus making multiple accounts on Ebay in order to raise the bid on his items.



i think you need to breathe or something. Your view of expolitation and mine are very different and if you consider fans buying memorbilia exploitation then every pop star,actor,actress,writer etc., by default is therefore guilty of the same offence.

Fashion house labels, then are guilty of exploitation ofthose who willingly pay more for a 'brand'. Sainsburys are guilty of exploitation for charging more than Asda. Where does it end?

Sadly your post doesn't make sense.

You're just showing you have a problem with authority.

Everyday people can be exploitive of others and this is exploiting people.

Do you know what the second highest bidder said on DS about buying the item? You know what?

She bid on the item because Marcus was normal because he burped and picked his nose.

I have never read the Daily Mail in my Life, I reaad irish newspapers. Your problem is that you dont like Marcus, so you hate the fact that he is making money out of BB. Explotation has two very different meanings and in your vilification of Marcus you are purposely mixing the two. Exploitation means, utilizing something to its maximum value, what we call Capitalism, and taking advantage of something.

At the worst you could call those people who are buying stuff from Marcus stupid, but they understand what they are purchasing and probably know they are paying too much, therefore are NOT being exploited, they are being dumb asses!

If there is this ridiculous obeisance to him, like you're giving offering to some God made out of cack - then people will comment on that.

If you are so up his behind about it - then people will comment at how stupid and ridiculous it is.

It's quite simple.

It's laughable that fans of his or otherwise get so wound up by criticism against him they have to attack the user and not discuss the factor involved

But this just makes it as laughable at how such a loser is admired so much but hey... that's why I like talking it about it. Enjoyable to see people admire him even more instead of being sane and logical and saying "fair play mate, he's a dick. God knows what I was thinking."

Oh God. Now you're comparing John Lennon to Marcus. This is getting ridiculous!

Seriously! Go out into the real world and most people will tell you he is taking advantage of stupidity. Go for it. In the background Marcus will be laughing at you.

Don't worry.

I can't be bothered any more. I thought there would have been a valid space available to discuss this properly but the blind love and devotion to somebody desperate to take advantage of people who only liked him because he had an argument with Lisa and they only disliked Lisa because they dislike Kris because he's good looking and they argued with Freddie - who emulated the outsiders of society that watch BB because; well it exhibits the outsiders of society doesn't it with exhibitionists and attention seekers in Siavash and Marcus...

You can never ever get through to people that way.

Of course this is easily emergence theory where people of like minded thoughts will come together, against the mainstream orthodox conventional behaviours of society - especially when TV exhibits something like Marcus and Siavash as though they're something special (when they're not, but that's my point)... only special in the eyes of a group of people who couldn't fathom the fact that normal people will always win Big Brother.

Are you so uptight about my views on Marcus because you are an unemployable male sponging off his parents?

Are you getting personal because you have no life beyond Big Brother and your admiration for such a loser is blind to the point you can't accept any opinion?

Are you afraid of people with money and so you have to lie that you are a bodyguard?

Seriously. Grow a pair. You were up all night against somebody the other night about Karly and Kenneth and you're talking to me about losers and hate...

Right...

You're obsessed with this show. Here's a clue... he didn't win. He lost. So did Siavash. They lost because the vast majority of people who have a life post Big Brother didn't like them and only a minority liked them - mainly those on forums because those who have no time for forums have a life.

Seriously... add it up. It makes sense eventually. You're lucky this member of the majority is here to give you the truth, even though it's difficult to accept... or you just can't accept the truth because you can't handle it.

Of course it can be exploitation if it is out of decision. It's the basis of that decision that makes it exploitation. If that decision is based upon influence of an intangible nature - which this is. In that Marcus is pretty much unknown and pointless as a person selling something that he never owned...

that key, he never owned. But people are paying ridiculous amounts of money because he posted curses and swear words on Digital Spy. That is exploitation because the decision is influenced by lies and conjecture.

You could say all this a thousand times but it's laughable, stupid, ridiculous to pay so much for what is in actuality, nothing. And the people who encourage this in the light of this are exploiting people.

You could say all this a thousand times but it's laughable, stupid, ridiculous to pay so much for what is in actuality, nothing. And the people who encourage this in the light of this are exploiting people.

Hard to accept because people were so adoring and devoting time to this man but the truth hurts, doesn't it. That's why nobody wants to believe it.

Your reasoning here makes no sense I am afraid. The first person to buy a Da Vinci, Warhol or Beatles Poster, they were making a decision based on an unknown quanity. It pleased them, does any one need another reason?

Again with the insults MassiveTruck......and the put downs.

If its an auction and people set their own price - how is that wrong?

I admire your objectivity - or the lack of it.

How about the insults in my direction? Check Shasown's posts - which he does to anybody who doesn't agree with him.

Now... about the auction and the price. That's the discussion of the thread.

Is the item worth the selling price and what kind of people pay for it and does the seller know people would be foolish enough to pay this and that's why he is selling it. That is the discussion...

Well seeing as how the selling price was 99p then yeah it probably was, if people force it up then its there own stupidity rather than anything Marcus has to do. Even this thread made by you was advertising the ebay auction, drawing attention to it, hell, even building its interest up. As such you could say YOU were exploiting people by making them think this was something bigger than it is and they might increase there bid 'ohhh theres a discussion going on, I will now pay £2.......'


So an insult needs another insult or is that just an easier way of not answering the point in matter.

There are clearly reasons why you feel so strongly about Marcus and it certainly isn't about exploitation. So why don't you finally just tell us what it is.

Oh and Nadia is a she. No need to be nasty towards people you don't even know and don't care about your existance.

Who decides who is special or who is worthy of public attention? Why is that decision yours?

The point is people pay ridiclous sums of money for what other people consider rubbish, but it is their choice and can not be considered exploitation if it is a considered decision, ie. their own choice, to pay fo it.

But why do you think only your on opinion on the matter counts?



Of course it can be exploitation if it is out of decision. It's the basis of that decision that makes it exploitation. If that decision is based upon influence of an intangible nature - which this is. In that Marcus is pretty much unknown and pointless as a person selling something that he never owned...

Nothing appears to make sense to you I've noticed.

Now you're comparing Da Vinci, Warhol and the Beatles to Marcus? Is there no end to this.

And the first person to buy a Da Vinci, didn't pay much or a Warhol. It was later after their popularity as people with "talent" (being the operative word) that the price increased.

And the Beatles? Seriously? Are you having a laugh?

Now if this is why it doesn't make sense because you make ridiculous outlandish claims that Marcus is in the same league as the Beatles et al - and that that bloody key and piece of paper (based upon you logic might I add) will be worth hundreds of thousands in years to come, based upon it's current price...

I think you're missing the point because your analogy is not relevant.

Now, I'm a bit pissed that I have to explain this to you. I have to state this as I've written the below already but it needs explaining because what you say has a gross irrelevance and is not connected to what is being said here because they are two totally different things!!!

Listen. Andy Warhol, Star Wars Memorabilia - stuff that sells for thousands, millions has a cultural price, an actual basis that it is worth something because it is a part of history. It is something special. Very very special to the world. You're comparing these things and you are also saying they are **** to somebody. Now that is ridiculous.

Again, I repeat - special point - your analogy is irrelevant. Understand that.

What Marcus is selling, listen up here, is based upon exploitation of people who have nothing better to do than to idolise and raise his importance. Let me make this clear - it's only a handful of people too. It's not like millions and millions who know that some lightsabre on Star Wars has investment opportunities. That is different. They are actually worth something on a historical, cultural basis. That is their investment and that's why they mean so much.

What Marcus is selling is not worth much at all. At the most the key? 10 pounds - the paper? a fraction of a penny... - to a Marcus fan? Maybe 10 pounds unless you are stupid.

Now stupidity, justification, reasoning - based upon the illusory and people like you arguing that it has importance when you wouldn't pay that money yourself (congratulations by the way, you're encouraging the exploitation) make these people think it's special. 10 years down the line when they have a different life they'll be wiping their arses with that paper and cursing people on forums that encouraged it.

I hope this is clear.

You think that words like "pleases" them is justification but it is exploitation because even a cake, a packet of crisps, a biscuit - pleases you. But that has substance. Christ on a bike man! This is over a thousand pounds were talking about. Are you seriously justifying this with all this irrelevance? Are you sitting there with a straight face?

Remember, it's a small minority who voted on the auction and if you look at the people who bid on it - a few looked like dodgy bids to raise the price from people with very low counts... think about it.

Of course you're angry. You're still here aren't you? I think you do adore Marcus or something else I said about Lisa or something hit a nerve.

He's increasing and exploiting people by advertising it, promoting it after realising the admiration people have for him on the forums.

I am sure I have said all of this already - right?

Come on. Wake up. Realise what you are arguing in favour of...

Again with the insults MassiveTruck......and the put downs.

If its an auction and people set their own price - how is that wrong?

I admire your objectivity - or the lack of it.

How about the insults in my direction? Check Shasown's posts - which he does to anybody who doesn't agree with him.

Now... about the auction and the price. That's the discussion of the thread.

Is the item worth the selling price and what kind of people pay for it and does the seller know people would be foolish enough to pay this and that's why he is selling it. That is the discussion...

Well seeing as how the selling price was 99p then yeah it probably was, if people force it up then its there own stupidity rather than anything Marcus has to do. Even this thread made by you was advertising the ebay auction, drawing attention to it, hell, even building its interest up. As such you could say YOU were exploiting people by making them think this was something bigger than it is and they might increase there bid 'ohhh theres a discussion going on, I will now pay £2.......'


So an insult needs another insult or is that just an easier way of not answering the point in matter.

There are clearly reasons why you feel so strongly about Marcus and it certainly isn't about exploitation. So why don't you finally just tell us what it is.

Oh and Nadia is a she. No need to be nasty towards people you don't even know and don't care about your existance.


You only think I have a huge problem with Marcus because you have such a huge admiration for him.

Really... think about it.

This is all about how crazy people get and such an easy topic to rate things on.

And Nadia, is a he. Always a he. It's not nasty at all. If you study Trans-sexualism, Gender Dysphoria and the nature of Sexual confusion... you'll realise. It's a he.

I love how you're trying to divert it away from Marcus and saying the people are stupid for paying that much. Wonderful...

HAHAHA, Im not a Marcus fan I am however someone that will argue a point that I know is right. I couldn't care about Marcus.

You are the one the constantly diverts, but how does Marcus make them do this?

answer that

What?

I have no idea what that says or means. You probably wrote it in the heat of a lot of anger.

So you're saying, you don't like Marcus - so you're just arguing with me because you find something worth arguing about and just like to shout and screech a lot of nonsensical and irrelevant stuff?

That doesn't seem right...

So you're just somebody who likes to have a mob mentality and join the mob to have a go at somebody.

That in fact is a lot worse than being a Marcus fan and doing it. At least then you have a reason related to the show. You're just wanting to be part of a mob and have a go at people.

Nah man, Im not angry, and nor am I arguing something for the sake of it, Im arguing it becuase you continue to spill this on the forum, am I not free to reply?

Well you're still here as well, so by that reasoning you must be angry as well. The same reasoning is why I wonder what your true feelings about Marcus are as you try so hard.

And yeah, you have repeated yourself many times over.

In the real world - this is laughable and if you look at other forums and if you ask people in the real world (away from the fascination and fanaticism of forums) people will say it's crazy.

Now I'm repeating myself (partly because you love to be part of a mob mentality and like to repeat a line to increase agitating users) but Marcus knows that a small minority will pay a lot towards and that is exploitation.

You know this but being part of a mob means so much more to you now - doesn't it.

Who decides who is special or who is worthy of public attention? Why is that decision yours?

The point is people pay ridiclous sums of money for what other people consider rubbish, but it is their choice and can not be considered exploitation if it is a considered decision, ie. their own choice, to pay fo it.

But why do you think only your on opinion on the matter counts?



Of course it can be exploitation if it is out of decision. It's the basis of that decision that makes it exploitation. If that decision is based upon influence of an intangible nature - which this is. In that Marcus is pretty much unknown and pointless as a person selling something that he never owned...

that key, he never owned. But people are paying ridiculous amounts of money because he posted curses and swear words on Digital Spy. That is exploitation because the decision is influenced by lies and conjecture.

You could say all this a thousand times but it's laughable, stupid, ridiculous to pay so much for what is in actuality, nothing. And the people who encourage this in the light of this are exploiting people.

Hard to accept because people were so adoring and devoting time to this man but the truth hurts, doesn't it. That's why nobody wants to believe it.

Your reasoning here makes no sense I am afraid. The first person to buy a Da Vinci, Warhol or Beatles Poster, they were making a decision based on an unknown quanity. It pleased them, does any one need another reason?



Nothing appears to make sense to you I've noticed.

Now you're comparing Da Vinci, Warhol and the Beatles to Marcus? Is there no end to this.

And the first person to buy a Da Vinci, didn't pay much or a Warhol. It was later after their popularity as people with "talent" (being the operative word) that the price increased.

And the Beatles? Seriously? Are you having a laugh?

Now if this is why it doesn't make sense because you make ridiculous outlandish claims that Marcus is in the same league as the Beatles et al - and that that bloody key and piece of paper (based upon you logic might I add) will be worth hundreds of thousands in years to come, based upon it's current price...

well. There is the sense on the basis of the illogical.

I think you need some help here, because you are deliberayely missing the point I am trying to make. The point is, we all admire different people, one mans art, music etc., is another mans toilet paper. Marcus' ebay material is your toilet paper, for another person it is better than an autograph or a piece of art. It is their deicision, not yours, how they spend their money.

Go keep going on about how much we admire Marcus and it is blinding us, but that is rot. Marcus on BB made me laugh. Since BB has been over I have not bought so much as a magazine with a former housemate on the cover. Once it is over that it my interest is on other things.

Everything is exploitation, that is what makes commerce work. Without it we still would be trading food and judging by your posts you would be starving in a corner some where.



I think you're missing the point because your analogy is not relevant.

Now, I'm a bit p****d that I have to explain this to you. I have to state this as I've written the below already but it needs explaining because what you say has a gross irrelevance and is not connected to what is being said here because they are two totally different things!!!

Listen. Andy Warhol, Star Wars Memorabilia - stuff that sells for thousands, millions has a cultural price, an actual basis that it is worth something because it is a part of history. It is something special. Very very special to the world. You're comparing these things and you are also saying they are s*** to somebody. Now that is ridiculous.

Again, I repeat - special point - your analogy is irrelevant. Understand that.

What Marcus is selling, listen up here, is based upon exploitation of people who have nothing better to do than to idolise and raise his importance. Let me make this clear - it's only a handful of people too. It's not like millions and millions who know that some lightsabre on Star Wars has investment opportunities. That is different. They are actually worth something on a historical, cultural basis. That is their investment and that's why they mean so much.

What Marcus is selling is not worth much at all. At the most the key? 10 pounds - the paper? a fraction of a penny... - to a Marcus fan? Maybe 10 pounds unless you are stupid.

Now stupidity, justification, reasoning - based upon the illusory and people like you arguing that it has importance when you wouldn't pay that money yourself (congratulations by the way, you're encouraging the exploitation) make these people think it's special. 10 years down the line when they have a different life they'll be wiping their arses with that paper and cursing people on forums that encouraged it.

I hope this is clear.

You think that words like "pleases" them is justification but it is exploitation because even a cake, a packet of crisps, a biscuit - pleases you. But that has substance. Christ on a bike man! This is over a thousand pounds were talking about. Are you seriously justifying this with all this irrelevance? Are you sitting there with a straight face?

Remember, it's a small minority who voted on the auction and if you look at the people who bid on it - a few looked like dodgy bids to raise the price from people with very low counts... think about it.

If you think it is dodgy complain about it. By the way, even tho I love the Star War films the memoriblia is ****. Bits of plastic people with no sense pay hundreds of thousands of pounds for, George Lucas should be ashamed of himselves for exploiting guilable people! :thumbs:

And another thing, how do you know for sure, that sometime in the future that Marcus doesnt become a famous rock star or film/tv star? And even if he doesn;t the person who buys his junk off ebay got something to remember him by, therefore are happy.

Not at the start, when there was only one film who knew what it would then become, people buy TV stuff as memoribilla all the time, its a gamble, just like any other investment.

How about mine? Why are you doing this then? Why are you still here?

I have answered all your questions. If there are any I haven't go for it. You wrote all that based upon unanswered questions but I've made my position clear.

You seem to be repeating yourself and you have not at all answered or responded to my views of exploitation based upon selling junk for over a thousand pounds.

Your reasoning has been and is only "people can pay what they like".

My reasoning that you do not respond to, ignore as well is that this is based upon Marcus' own advertisement and publication based upon not himself but hatred of Lisa from people. You ignore all of that.

Then you have the nerve to say I haven't answered your questions?

And of course it is a mob mentality. Why else would you do this? Tell me... because you avoid the questions. You avoid the discussion. You repeat things that have already been answered.

If it isn't blind anger against something you have gained answers for - why are you doing it? You are beginning to make little to no sense.

They are cultural and historical artefacts for one of the most popular films on this planet. They are sold at Christies - the best auction houses in the world and bought by investors who are billionaires and millionaires because they are an investment for ****'s sake!!!

Not has happened - have Ebay done anything - why didn't you even contact them instead of starting a thread.

How is Marcus FORCING them to buy it. I haven't bid on it I wasn't forced - how were the others?

I love how you avoid the answers I gave.

It's quite fascinating.

You tell me how the others were forced to pay 1380 pounds for it?

Come on - tell me.

I've already told you. Come on... It's not that hard. You can read.

You don't actually answer with reason, you just make statements that you believe in and riducule others if they dont.

They weren't forced, phone the police, let me know the crime report number....I would love to know the outcome of this.

I have already said why in this thread

Not once. Not twice. Not three times.

About 10 maybe 20 times.

You see... Let me ask you a new question.

Since I started this thread, I have given my opinion to why... I mean I would and I've reasoned it as well...

Why in the **** are you telling me I haven't.

Seriously... read the thread. It's all there.

Oh and I've reported it to Ebay. Thanks for telling me about that. Got some more people to report it too.

No I did it out of choice.

I'm going to do a thread about Siavash being a lying, cheating, two faced, unemployed, disloyal, short miserable excuse for a living organism too.

Would you like to post in that?

Any way, this exploitation crack. you should be more worried about real exploitation, not about perceived exploitation, were it is really fool and their money being easily parted.

Exploitation of multinationals in sub-sahara africa, selling grain thaat cannot seed itself. Clothing companies pulling out of europe to open in third world counttries, with next to nothing wages and where they can pollute the water with chemicals without facing prosecution.

Those are the real exploitation issues, not whether some idiot is paying over the odds on another idiots rubbish!
