And there is just nothing wrong with wanting stuff. It doesn't make you greedy. There is nothing wrong with making a profit. It doesn't make you greedy. If however, you want someone else's item for free or below market value, YOU are greedy.

How DARE you madam! We are ENTITLED to other's items at whatever price we decide is fair. If they won't give them up, they are GREEDMASTERS of the lowest order. Burn them at the stake!

"Greed" is a Latin word that means "Gimme a deal that benefits me."

I used to regularly whip my brothers at Monopoly and they said the same thing. I'm starting to worry - or not.

I agree 100% with the whole greedy thing but a little different where I'm going from sometimes I find it a little stingy when a long time game player is greedy and brags to new players about their greed and the ''So Called richness''I myself am not bothered by it but I know other people have.If a person wants to be greedy and rude be my guest but the only thing the person gets is no friends at all if he or she thinks it's only about the money.I myself may not look the part of richness but the only treasure to me is being with kind yo-World players and that's all that matters to me...The people who think being virtually yo-rich I feel bad for you because not everything is about the money there's more things to life to then just $.

The concept is to earn money buying and selling for a profit. I don't horde all my profits tho and have been known to donate things away to people that truely need it.

Well, I buy low and sell high. BUT! I also give away. I've given away 2/3 of a huge inventory before. And then built up a new one to give away 1/3 of that. Plus I buy a lot in the stores and share. I do tend to hoard. Some of that stuff might be useful some day...
