Wow. Just wow. At that price, the seller should throw in a gun and some ammo, so the buyer can shoot himself in the face. I don't feel sorry for the guy at all, since, aside from the ever-so-slightly-but-not-really misleading 20GB comment, it was obviously three Playstations.
If not an idiot, the only other type of person to bid so quickly an so high would be the ever-ubiquitous Nigerian scammers. That would be just too ironic.
I remember hearing about someone who won a $150 picture of a NDS. I pm'd the seller about it, and he said he was just trying to teach people a lesson on how to read the small print. I think he was just scared he got caught
i wouldnt buy a ps3 off ebay anyway, too expensive and too hard to repair when it goes wrong...lol
And I'd drive to that seller's house and beat the living shit out of him until he learned the lesson of not scamming people.Quote:

I reckon if your smart and cunning (and guilt free) enough to scam people. Then why not?
I mean c'mon, there's far too many idiots in the world, might aswell teach em' a thing or too.
I don't like violence and physical robbery or anything like that, I have absolutely no appreciation for those meat heads. But scamming is different, takes some thought and skill to pull off.
I've been scammed, and I seriously don't hate the person (or people) that did it. I kinda shrugged, was a bit annoyed but learn't a lesson and am much wiser.
People just don't like feeling dumb. Get over it.
Sheep are too dumb to care about being fleeced. The guy is not lying in his auction. If I were doing it though, I'd overcharge on shipping. That way, when I am forced to refund the sale, I can specify in my refund policy that I don't refund the shipping. That way, I would still gain a small bit. I don't do that, of course, but that is how I would do it if I did.
Wouldn't doubt if this was faked.
