    Talking There's a SUCKER Born every Minute

    This buyer, masterflex3oo, BID $611 for an XBox 360 and... well, go and see if you can figure out what he bought:

    http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...fromZR8QQfviZ1

    Then he tried to back out of the deal after winning the bid; which resulted in him NO LONGER being a registered member of EBay.



    Some people JUST CAN'T READ !!

    Yeah, I saw someone do this for the PSP. It's pretty funny. You gotta read what you're paying for!

    Sometimes people who fall for things like this physically injure my delicate brain.

    Who's worse the fool, or the fool who follows him?

    That's nothing. Check out this Xbox 360 page. It's the new xbox plus 5 games. I would get it, but the shipping is too much.

    True the bidders did not read the description properly, but the seller is also responsible very much so. Using stock photos with an actual unit is deceptive. A fair dinkum honest user would have provided his own snapshots of the box, would not rip off the spec of an actual unit from Microsoft, and bold the 'empty box' multiple times withiin description (and keep the description short). He was praying on the gullibles.

    Serves the seller right for being kicked out of eBay as well.

    That's true, editman. I completely agree with you. However, I have no sympathy for the bidder. They both got what they deserved.

    They should be both thrown in jail, and I should get an XBOX


    sorry, both are idiots (although I give the seller credit for the idea)

    This is no different than people calling 1-8something-ILOVEU numbers that charge $50 a minute. the bidder has nobody to blame but himself

    hehe eBay is an EVIL place
