Re: $833 for an XBOX 360...... picture

I searched snopes.com to see if I could verify/debunk this, but I didn't find anything relevant.

I did find a link for this though. Kinda makes me nervous to buy from anyone on Ebay now. I would normally trust someone with a 400 rating.

I can't beleive these idiots bought from him! They almost deserve to get ripped off. I always say that stupid should hurt. This time it just hurt their pocket books.

I believe it was a "her", and her rating was perfect. I, however would NEVER pay by check unless it was one from my CC company because they carry fraud insurance.

It was a pair, man and woman. More info:

He had a "Power Seller" raiting, and almost no negative feedback:

Second, most of you "geniuses" that have posted negative comments have said that we are to blame for this because the individual had negative feedback. If you had actually read the full story, you would know that the seller had over 300 positives and only 2 resolved negatives when we bid.

Re: $833 for an XBOX 360...... picture

This has happened a lot with xbox 360 on ebay and most of them completely apply to ebays rules. My favorite one was the "xbox 360 special edition. Box Only"
Everywhere on the page it clearly stated that the guy was just selling the box but still it had about 26 bids and the lucky guy who bought the box payed something like $900. The only thing really deceiving about it is exploiting lazy ebay buyers who just look at the pictures instead of the info. It's all there fault and not the seller's. You can't sue someone for being stupid. Well, atleast not anywhere outside the us.

Edit: just looked at the picture one for the first time and what he did was pretty sketchy, it was only one small line in there saying it was a picture. But most of these fake auctions clearly state in capslock what they actually are.
