@Spitty, it's kind of like telling someone that they are stupid for buying tickets to a concert or a sporting event. You don't really get anything out of it other than enjoyment from watching some entertainment. These guys didn't get anything other than enjoyment from having good items.

Well, that is pretty stupid if the number of Beibers onstage or Bears on the field exceeds zero [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.].

Levity aside, ok - someone bought plat to increase their personal enjoyment on P99. I accept that.

It's still a remarkably stupid decision, given the risk involved. I would draw an analogy of buying a ticket to a concert where there's a 90% chance you'll get inside the venue and the band won't be there. You still get to drive to the concert, fight for parking, get your stub scanned, buy an overpriced beer, the whole live music experience - but when it comes down to the actual entertainment, the curtain never rises and instead you're shown the door.

Lol'd at that first comment and I would have to agree there.

I get it though, I think it is a dumb way to spend money as well but I was just trying to say that they were just paying for enjoyment like anyone who buys tickets to some entertainment venue. But yeah, the difference is obviously the amount of risk involved, which I why I think it's a poor decision.
