If i was to ask a member why i cant sell something for the price i deem fair and reasonable what response would i receive?

It’s like an animal that eats its own. Before e-meters had software that dictated updated licensing controls of the device, I had multiple meters, gave them to my son to sell on eBay for whatever he could get and he could keep the money. He was lucky if he could get a couple hundred bucks for one meter. All those books and tapes went out with the garbage because I didn’t want to provide the hogwash to anyone else.

Obviously, they won’t work because of the cult’s software restrictions, but I wonder if they could at least turn it on, and make a few needle motions appear. More likely it will just transmit its serial number to RTC once someone plugs in the USB dongle. Then, whoever sold it will be in deep trouble with OSA.

They have no idea how much they are owned, but they are going to find out. I’m sure the snitchers will be writing Knowledge Reports.

Two doors down from my storage unit is another huge storage unit with boxes of BASICS from stem to stern. Can’t sell ’em (because of Ethics trouble, but also because they just won’t sell); can’t give them away; don’t need ’em. Tens of thousands of dollars worth of crap in a storage unit.

Yes, Mine went straight into recycling bin and some into the trash. Her boxes of crap just won’t sell, not even at a discount.

It’s not that it doesn’t care about individuals, they love their input and actively seek to steal all their have and max their credit, then leave them to rot or ruin them if they complain. It’s all on auto and very well justified by the operation of the Sea Organization, created to oversee all aspects of the organization. They have no conscience.
It’s simply what they do.
Kailey will be posting here in due course or at least reading blogs like this, sigh.

And you can bet these commenters made sure THEY alerted OSA so they would not be targeted for failing to report a “crime.””

Totally spot on, Mike. These are mean girls watching out for every small failing or omission so they can look lily-white. It’s slam or be slammed in Scn. But don’t worry, karma is a bitch and what goes around comes around.

That sentence leaped out at me immediately. Obviously these items, though purchased, were not needed yet purchased anyway. But why?

Let’s apply Sherlock Holmes’ Deductive Reasoning:

Fact: items were expensive. Fact: Items were purchased. Fact: After being purchased, items were never opened. Fact: Items are impossible to use without removing the wrapping. Fact: Items were never used.

Conclusion: Expensive tems not needed by themwere purchased by these people due to intense sales pressure to do so by their Church of Scientology.

Elementary, my dear Watson.
